INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: The Honorable Board of DATE: February 10, 1981 <br />County Commissioners <br />FILE: <br />SUBJECT: Request For Street Light To Be <br />Installed At U.S. #1 and Vickers <br />Road <br />FROM: Neil A. Nelson, REFERENCES: <br />County Administrator <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Request has been made by the Breezy Village (MHP) Homeowners As to <br />Commissioners Fletcher, the County Administrator's Office, and Pat Flood, <br />Mayor of Sebastian, to install a street light at the above stated intersection. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Per attached report from the County Engineer, this location does not meet <br />the past County criteria justifying placement of a street light. Vickers <br />Road is only .33 miles long (must be minimum of 1.5 miles long to justify a <br />light installation). Furthermore, Vickers Road only serves approximately <br />60 mobile homes. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Based upon the past policy of the Board of County Commissioners, a street <br />light is not justified for installation at this location. We, therefore, <br />do not recommend this installation. <br />This item will, therefore, have no financial impact upon the budget of <br />Indian River County. <br />Neil A. Nelson, County Administrator <br />ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT IN THE PAST WE HAVE <br />CREATED TAXING DISTRICTS TO HANDLE STREET LIGHTING, AS IN ROCKRIDGE <br />AND LAURELWOOD SUBDIVISIONS. HE NOTED THAT WEST SIDE RACQUET CLUB <br />PROPERTY OWNERS MADE A SIMILAR REQUEST AND WERE REFUSED. THE <br />ADMINISTRATOR EXPLAINED THAT THE PEOPLE IN BREEZY VILLAGE COULD MAKE <br />THEIR REQUEST DIRECT TO FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT, AND ALTHOUGH THEY <br />WOULD HAVE TO PAY 100% OF THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION, FP&L WOULD <br />MAR 111981 <br />27 <br />BooK 46 PAGE 27 <br />
