Hardin, Jr.,PhD <br />Acting County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Director <br />Description and Conditions <br />DATE: June 24, 1982 FILE: <br />SUBJECT: Establishment of a Municipal Service <br />Taxing Unit for the Vero Lake Estates <br />Area <br />REFERENCES: Gary Brandenburg to Jim Davis <br />dated Jan. 11, 1982 <br />. In the late 1950's the platting of Vero Lake Estates Subdivision located <br />south of CR 512 west of CR 510 created 9,000 individual lots of approximately <br />4 acre lots each. The 70 miles of roads in this subdivision were all constructed <br />of marl and shell,none of which were paved. Since platting, few lots were im- <br />proved upon and the roads have become overgrown with trees and vegetation. <br />Furthermore, the drainage facilities are overgrown and silted in with material. <br />As the County grows, the owners of the lots are beginning to build homes <br />and are finding the roads and drainage unusable. The property taxes which the <br />County receives for each lot (approximately $4.00 per year) does not generate <br />enough revenue to pay for opening the roads and improving drainage. As a result, <br />the road and drainage improvements are being subsidized by all taxpayers of Indian <br />River County. <br />Alternatives and Analysis <br />The following alternatives:are presented: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />To maintain roads and drainage in this area, the County may establish -a - <br />Municipal Service Taxing Unit especially for road and drainage purposes. <br />27 <br />
