File <br />May 15, 1981 <br />Page two <br />BOOK 47 Pic 3 <br />months, consultants have inquired about developing the nearby uplands <br />and impoundments. <br />Several meetings have been held with county officials, regulatory <br />agencies and the project consultant. One of the major concerns is <br />the effect that the road might have on the master drainage plan now <br />being considered by the county. Immediate attention to this problem <br />has been expressed by residents within a subdivision west of the <br />proposed road. f <br />Another concern which has been obvious to all regulatory agencies <br />since the early 1970's has been the concomittant development of the <br />wetlands surrounding the proposed road and the possible extension <br />of the road further north through additional wetlands. Regulatory <br />agencies have been giving special consideration to this project <br />because of the expressed need to provide quick emergency service <br />to the hospital and the lack of alternate routes. <br />C. <br />The project area can be divided into 3 distinct areas: 1) Main <br />Canal, 2) Vossinbury Creek, and 3) mosquito control impoundments. <br />Main Canal <br />The main canal is the Indian River Farms Drainage Canals "ch drains <br />to the Indian River.
