CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR THAT THIS IN NO WAY SETS A PRECEDENT, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THIS RELATES TO OUR JOINT EFFORTS RE DRAINAGE OF THE ROCKRIDGE AREA, THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. ATTORNEY RICHARD BOGOSIAN CAME BEFORE THE BOARD REPRESENT- ING THE OWNERS OF SU -BENE MOBILE HOME PARK AS EXPLAINED IN THE FOLLOW- ING LETTERS: RICHARD F. BOGOSIAN ATTORNEY AT LAW 1418 TWENTY-FIRST STREET VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960 December 11, 1979 The Board of County Commissioners Indian River County Courthouse Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Re: Su -Rene Mobile Home Park and surrounding drainage Dear Commissioners: I represent Mr. and Mrs. Henry Donatelli who own the Su -Rene Mobile Home Park located at the corner of Old Dixie Highway and 8th Street. As you may recall, there is a swampy drainage pattern which runs South along the Mathis Engineering property through the Su -Rene Mobile Home Park, across 8th Street into Pan American Engineer- ing property and South from that point. This area has been a drainage problem for many years and as the area continues to be developed, the drainage situation worsens. At the present time, Su -Rene Mobile Home Park -has a canal which runs through the center of the park to a culvert which passes under 8th Street and into the Pan American Engineering property. In years past, the water in the canal would eventually drop to a low level and would never flood into the park. Within the past year or two the level of water in the canal remains at the top and from time to time the park is flooded. With the cooperation of several property owners in that area, a temporary solution to the problem has been pro- posed -and they have asked me to present this solution to the Board. Itis proposed that the property owners attach• a pump to the culvert on the North side of 8th Street and that the water be pumped through the culvert onto the Pan American Engineering property. This will reduce the accum- ulation of the water in the entire area North of 8th Street and will certainly alleviate the flooding at least temporarily until a long range solution can be found. Obviously, we need permission from Pan American,Engineer- ing to do this and we have consulted with Buzz Stevens and he has no objection to the pumping of the drainage onto the Pan American Engineering property. In that connection, I enclose a letter which authorizes the pumping and relieves the County of any liability in that connection. soot 42 FAA,35 JAN 91980 19 s J � J
