r' <br />APR 2 31990 poox 43 PACE -374 <br />ROBERT GASKILL, VICE PRESIDENT OF VISTA PROPERTIES, WAS <br />PRESENT TO DISCUSS EXPANSION OF THE VISTA ROYALE SEWER AND WATER <br />PLANT AND AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THE COUNTY PRESENTLY HAS <br />A CONTRACT WITH VISTA PROPERTIES REGARDING THE SEWER AND WATER PLANTS <br />LOCATED AT VISTA ROYALE, THESE CONTRACTS GAVE THE COUNTY THE RIGHT <br />TO TAKE OVER BOTH THOSE PLANTS AT A CERTAIN TIME. BASICALLY THAT <br />TIME HAS EXPIRED, BUT THE ATTORNEY BELIEVED WE HAD A MUTUAL AGREEMENT <br />ALL ALONG THAT THE TIME FRAME WOULD BE EXTENDED. VISTA PROPERTIES <br />IS NOW MOVING INTO THE SECOND PHASE OF THEIR PROJECT BEHIND MCKEE <br />JUNGLE GARDENS, AND THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT THE COUNTY WAIT FOR A <br />PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE TAKING OVER BOTH PLANTS)PRIMARILY TO INSURE <br />VISTA PROPERTIES AN ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT AND THE CONTINUATION OF THEIR <br />VISTA ROYALE PROJECT. <br />MR. GASKILL INFORMED THE BOARD THAT BASICALLY THEY ARE <br />TALKING ABOUT AN EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING FRANCHISE TO INCLUDE THE <br />AREA BEHIND THE MCKEE PROPERTY AND SOME TO THE NORTH, IN WHICH THEY <br />PROPOSE TO HAVE A 9 -HOLE GOLF COURSE AND'SURROUNDING RESIDENCES. <br />THEY PLAN TO EXPAND THE EXISTING WATER PLANT TO NEAR DOUBLE CAPACITY <br />AND WOULD BE INSTALLING AN ADDITIONAL TREATMENT PLANT TO THE EAST, <br />WHICH WOULD HANDLE THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. THEY WILL HAVE A GROUND <br />STORAGE TANK IN THE NEW AREA FOR FIRE PROTECTION AND IMMEDIATE USE, <br />IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY PROBLEM. THEY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP CONTROL OF <br />THESE PLANTS UNTIL A SET PERIOD BEFORE THE CONVERSION TO THE COUNTY <br />SYSTEM - 60 DAYS, OR WHATEVER WOULD BE AGREEABLE. THIS WOULD ALLOW <br />THEM TO GET THEIR LINES IN AND MAKE HEADWAY UNDER THEIR OWN BUILDING <br />PROGRAM. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE ORIGINAL VISTA ROYALE <br />FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO PRIOR TO THE COUNTY ACTIVELY <br />FRANCHISING UTILITIES;SO,ANY EXTENSION IN THE NEW PROJECT WOULD HAVE <br />TO -MEET OUR NEW FRANCHISING PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS. HE COMMENTED <br />THAT UTILITY DIRECTOR GEORGE LINER AND ENGINEER ENG AGREE THAT FROM <br />A UTILITIES STANDPOINT, IT DOESNIT MAKE TOO MUCH DIFFERENCE WHETHER <br />
