r <br />J U L 29 1981 eooK4, <br />7 EacE ®6 <br />FIRE PROTECTION <br />The applicant shall either: <br />A) donate a site within the development that is located on a major roadway <br />SR 60 or SR 609); approximately -one-half acre in size, to the <br />South Indian River. County Fire Control District for the purpose of <br />constructing a fire station ; or <br />B) ,purchase a site not -within the development that is agreed to by the <br />South Indian River County Fire Control -District and donate the site <br />to the District for the purpose of constructing a fire station for <br />serving the western portion_of the County, including the proposed <br />Village Green development. <br />Either donation shall be provided no later than the completion of occupancy of <br />the Village Green West portion of the development. If the Fire District has not <br />commenced construction of a fire station on the site by the later of: 1) August 1, <br />1986; or 2) when 95% of the total units in Village Green South and West have been <br />occupied, then the site shall revert to the applicant. In donation of the site, <br />the applicant must convey that quality of title that will permit the use of the <br />property as a public fire station, and such site must be conveyed free and clear <br />of all liens and encumberances. <br />While the staff concurs with the recommendation of the TCRPC, there are <br />some additional considerations to be viewed. <br />1) Should the developer be required to give more than the land as.his contribution <br />toward the fire protection service? A building alone will cost in excess of <br />$100,000, and then it must be equipped and maintained. The land represents a <br />diminishing share of the cost over time. <br />2) Possibly the'County would want to consider a cash payment instead of land which <br />would revert to the donor if not used. This situation would leave Village Green <br />with no -input to the fire protection service, and since the magnitude of the <br />development proposed along the previous phases in the primary deman generator, it <br />seems that such impact should be mitigated by direct participation. <br />
