Davis, P.REFERENCES:') Carl Johnson, Vero Lake Estates Public Works DirectoProperty Owners Assoc. to Board of County CamAssioners, dated 4-10-84 1-20-84 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS During the December 7, 1983, meeting of the Board, action was tabled on the establishment of a Municipal Service Taxing Unit(MSTU) for drainage study and improvements for the Vero Lake Estates area. Staff was directed to meet with Mr. Ansin and the Vero Lake Estates representatives to discuss and clarify their respective positions. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In meeting with Mr. Ansin, his position is as follows: 1. Efforts should be undertaken to increase the outfall into the Sebastian River. As Mr. Ansin indicated, this effort must be coordinated with both State and Federal agencies to insure that water quality and quantity does not adversely effect the Sebastian River Flood _Plain. The CR 510 outfall serves a large portion of north Indian River County. Staff recommends that efforts be initiated to have the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers and St. Johns River Water Management District study this area under either the Corps. of Engineers "Small Project Program'.' (under $4 million cost) or under a St. Johns River Water Management District Study program. Along with the establishment of a proper Legal Positive Outfall, Mr. Ansin indicates that the existing lakes in the area may be used for retention/detention. The three east/west canals in the subdivision may be upgraded, however, these canals drain the Vero Lake Estates Drainage District, and areas of responsibility must be established. Land in the District is being sold at this time for development. At this time, Mr. Ansin owns the lakes and canals in the subdivision. There is a cooperative spirit towards setting these facilities in proper easements or water management tracts. Staff still recommends a drainage study for the area, funded by the MSTU method. The Consultant chosen to perform the study would make application to the Corps of Engineers and SJRWMD. The Consultant could also develop a lot grading plan for the subdivision to be used on an interim basis. Assessments should be a maximum of $10 per acre or part thereof. -I
