NOV 71979 BOOK 42 PAGE 72 COMMISSIONER LYONS REPORTED THAT HE MET WITH MR. SOLIN PRIOR TO MEETING WITH THE COUNTRY CLUB POINTE OWNERS AND FELT THIS LETTER WAS OUT OF LINE; HIS UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THE CITY WASN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE ROAD WAS DETERMINED. . ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT THE CITY IS ASKING SUPPORT FROM THE COUNTY AS IT IS NOT THEIR ROAD. ANN ROBINSON APPROACHED THE BOARD AND REPORTED THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS HEARD FROM TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES THAT THE COUNTRY CLUB POINTE AREA WAS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED. SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE ROAD WAS GOING AS THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRAINAGE, AND ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE COUNTY ROAD ACTING AS A DAM. MRS. ROBINSON WAS AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS, AS MORE FILL IS PUT IN, THEIR AREA IS GOING TO BE VERY LOW. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT THE FILL AND THE DRAINAGE. MRS. ROBINSON COMMENTED THAT IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS YEAR THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS UNDERSTOOD THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THE DRAINAGE AND FELT THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE THEN INQUIRED ABOUT THE COST OF THE BRIDGE AND CULVERTS. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT THE COUNTY HAD TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT AND DID NOT FEEL THAT WE SHOULD GO BACK TO THE DER AND START RAISING QUESTIONS. HE CONTINUED THAT IT MIGHT MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE FOR COUNTRY CLUB POINTE; AND ACTUALLY THE SITUATION IS BETTER WITH THE DESIGN IN THERE NOW EVEN WITHOUT THE CULVERT. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS COMMENTED THAT HE HAD SOME FIGURES ON THE COST OF BRIDGING THE AREA, AND IT IS SO PROHIBITIVE THAT HE QUESTIONED THAT IT WOULD BE BUILT. HE WAS FULLY CONVINCED THAT THE COUNTY COULD PUT IN PROPER DRAINAGE IN THE ROAD SYSTEM THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT AREA. HE CONCURRED THAT NO DEVELOPMENT SHOULD TAKE PLACE UNTIL THE DESIGN ON THE ALIGNMENT OF THE ROAD IS SETTLED. MORE DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES.
