=I i PRE IM NARY PLAT APEROVAL PLNECRUT GS1BVIS ON UNIT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT THIS MATTER WAS ON THE PREVIOUS AGENDA, BUT WAS HELD OVER FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING WATER ALLOCATION, WHICH IS EXPLAINED IN HIS FOLLOWING MEMO: TO: Honorable Members of the Board of Commissioners FROM: Neil Nelson DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS DATE:' August 25, 1981 FILE: SUBJECT: Pinecrest Subdivision REFERENCES: On June 20, 1981, the well system of the subject franchised system failed. At my suggestion the Utilities Director worked with Ed Schmucker to restore water service from the county system on an emergency basis. This was done with conditional provisions signed off by both parties. This included taking the franchise out of service permanently, and payment by the developer of the costs to make the connection, and $3,400.00 accumulated as franchise connection fees will become county funds (to impact escrow, 472-000-343-65.00) when the service agreement is executed by both the developer and the county. Seventeen residents already live in Pinecrest and all future customers will pay full impact fees (not $200.00 per unit as established for franchise connection fees). The size of the line connecting Pinecrest is a six (6) inch PVC water main, which allows installation of the fire hydrants and gives the residents full fire service. The entire project is platted for 122 units which will have a total demand for 30,500 gallons per day. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Alternative solutions to the installation that was made would be to provide a temporary (2") service connection and restore the well. The engineer decided against that as being more expensive and still would leave the franchise operation in questionable jeopardy. The county has 600,000 gallons of water per day available per the contracts executed October 22, 1980. This will last until the county gets its water plant or 2.5 years whichever comes first. The most recent demand on the South County connection to the City of Vero Beach (during the dry spell) was about 400,000 gallons per day including the 180,000 gallons per day lost by the Indian River Packing Company (a worst case situation). Including Pinecrest and all other projects for which we have agree- ments which commit the county td serve them,we can have an additional demand of 124,900 gallons per day after they are all built -out.
