ADMINISTRATOR NELSON NOTED THAT THE DITCH IN QUESTION IS ON CITY PROPERTY; IT IS USED TO DRAIN THE ROYAL PALM AREA, WHICH IS A VERY CRITICAL AREA. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK QUESTIONED WHETHER THERE WOULD BE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON RESIDENTS OF THE AREA, AND THE ADMINISTRATOR BELIEVED IT WOULD*'BE A POSITIVE IMPACT AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE A GREATER IMPACT IF WE ALLOWED THE DITCH TO BE MOVED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BIRD, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, COMMISSIONER WODTKE BEING ABSENT FROM THE MEETING, THE BOARD, BY A 3 TO 1 VOTE, APPROVED CHANGE ORDER #I2 TO COVER ADDITIONAL SERVICES BY REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS FOR REDESIGN OF THE INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD EXT.; COMMISSIONER FLETCHER VOTING IN OPPOSITION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE RETURNED TO THE MEETING AT 5:18 01CLOCK P.M. PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL - CASSARA HEIGHTS SSD CHAIRMAN LYONS EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE DRAINAGE OF CASSARA HEIGHTS. MARVIN CARTER OF CARTER ASSOCIATES SPOKE ON BEHALF OF THEIR CLIENTS, PETER AND MARJORIE CASSARA, HE DESCRIBED THE PROPOSED DRAINAGE OF THE AREA AND SAW ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM IN ENGINEERING A PROPER DRAINAGE FOR THE PROPOSED USE OF THIS PROPERTY. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REQUESTED THAT WHEN THE DRAINAGE PLAN IS DEVELOPED, THAT HIS OFFICE BE SUPPLIED WITH A COPY TO REVIEW, AND MR. CARTER STATED THAT WAS THEIR INTENT AND HAS BEEN THEIR CUSTOM SO THEY CAN WORK OUT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY MOVE FORWARD. CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION THEN ENSUED REGARDING THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED WITH THE ALIGNMENT OF 32ND AVENUE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE COUNTY SHOULD ACCEPT THE DITCHES AND ROAD. THE ADMINISTRATOR WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE ROAD IN THE SUBDIVISION BENEFITS NO ONE EXCEPT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY AND BUILD IN THAT PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THE COUNTY SHOULD ACCEPT THE ROAD AND DITCHES FOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THE ROAD IS NOT A THOROUGHFARE AND DOES NOT BENEFIT THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY, JAN 28 1981 69 so0' 45 IFA�,E 7°35
