Tim Eves, <br /> representing the Calpine Corporation, 270 N. Rocky Point Drive, Suite <br />1200, Tampa 33607, advised the height of the stacks would be 135 feet. Visual studies have been <br />done and he advised he would bring them by to show to Commissioner Lowther. Because of the <br />height of the trees that line the boundary of the site, the plant will not be seen except on the east <br />side and Calpine has agreed to do some landscaping along that side. He thought the stacks at the <br />Vero Beach power plant were about 300 feet. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED BY Commissioner Macht, to approve staff’s <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Wind Subdivision, believed the original agreement stipulated <br />that there would be no allowance for drilling a well for water in case of a draught. <br />County Attorney Collins had no recall about drilling, but could not imagine that a <br />well would provide the quantity of water they would need to cool the plant. <br />Mr. Eves <br /> advised that through all their applications with the Department of <br />Environmental Protection they have specifically stated that they will not be drilling any wells on <br />site or requesting approval to drill any wells. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously (4-0, Chairman Ginn absent). (The <br />Board approved the agreement with Indian River Farms <br />Water Control District and Blue Heron Energy Center, <br />L.L.C. (wholly owned Capine Corporation subsidiary) and <br />authorized the Chairman to execute same, as recommended <br />in the memorandum of August 4, 2004. <br /> <br />August 10, 2004 <br />35 <br /> <br />
