AUG 101902 WX 50, PAC F. B. Erosion Control Mr. Davis stated that erosion control on both the state and local level is an important consideration, and we do try to address erosion control in this element. C. Sanitary Sewer, Potable Water and Solid Waste Element Chairman Scurlock felt our sewer and water priorities are a bit mixed up in that a higher priority should be given the Route 60 area as opposed to the North County. Planning Manager Challacombe stated that staff concurred with this view for a number of reasons. Situa- tions have changed. We now have a number of large rezonings in the South County area, as well as a number of large site plans, and it appears to be inevitable that this area will be developed prior to North County. In addition, the South County system could tie in on an expansion basis to Route 60 much easier than creating a new system in the North County. Chairman Scurlock stated that his personal feeling is that where septic tanks are suitable and conditions are acceptable, we should not encourage mass systems; rather we should make use of what makes sense. Mr. Challacombe agreed that we.do not want to strap the County for excessive sewer service and their wording speci- fies that extension of sewer service shall be economically feasible. Commissioner Fletcher emphasized that it should be not only economically feasible but also ecologically. Chairman Scurlock asked if anyone had any real problem about priorities. No one did, and it was agreed that the North County would be made a second priority after Route 60. Planning Manager Challacombe next discussed Solid Waste on Page 65, Policyl-A, which deals with funding of County transfer stations, and noted that this does not pose a problem except in relation to the City. of Vero Beach where the question of dual taxation arises. 30
