Lengthy conversation ensued re the inadvisability of having a number of small plants, and the fact that the - Commission has to answer others who may want franchises the same as River Bend. The possibility of River Bend agreeing to a franchise where they would commit themselves to service the other developers in the North Beach area, should the North Beach Water Company not be successful for any reason, was suggested, and Attorney Sundstrom stated that they would agree to this. Commissioner Wodtke brought up the point that many very important items, such as source of water, prevention of excessive use, etc., are addressed in the draft of the North Beach franchise that are not included in the River Bend franchise. Gerald Chancellor informed the Board that they will use the Floridan aquifer; potable water will not be used for irrigation; and conservation methods will be employed, such as low -flush toilets, which are now mandated, salt resistant facilities, etc., and Attorney Sundstrom noted that the North Beach document by its very nature is a far more complicated document while the River Bend franchise was drafted with the specific intent that it would cease to exist upon granting of the other document. He pointed out that they have tried to cooperate in every way to tighten up the River Bend -franchise and requested that the Commission not send them back for another rewrite. Commissioner Bird stated that he personally did not have any problem with the spirit or intent,of what we are trying to accomplish and why Florida Land wants the interim franchise, but felt it would be less confusing if the new verbiage were incorporated in the proposed River Bend
