OCT 10 1994 BOOK 58 Attorney Paull noted two changes in the ordinance: On page 3, Section 4, second line, "levy of a tax upon each tract, parcel, or unit, whether owned in conjunction with land or not,'......." Lines 7 and 8 of the same paragraph should read, "...upon each acre of land assessed and the minimum tax for any given tract, parcel or unit shall be not less than the one acre rate." Public Works Director Jim Davis stated that Florida Power & Light prepared a budget and scope of work which consists of the placement of 395 lights at an annual budget of approximately $43,500. The initial approach will be to identify certain areas where lights should be installed immediately, and then FP&L will begin to phase in 10-12 lights at a time. Commissioner Lyons inquired as to the spacing of the lights and Director Davis explained it is designed similar to the other lighting districts where there is usually one light in a quarter mile stretch and one light at each intersection -- roughly 1-2 lights on a block. There will be no back lot lights -- all lights will be out front. The district serves all the units in Vero Highlands from U.S. 1 to the western boundary of the development. It does not include Vero Shores. Director Davis advised that he had a map showing the placement of lights if anyone wished to look at it, and that he would be glad to have copies delivered to key locations in Vero Highlands. Commissioner Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. George Kulczycki, Vice President of General Development Corporation, asked when they needed to submit the $5000 seed money and Director Davis felt the sooner the better as it was his understanding that FP&L is ready to install 8-10 lights almost immediately.
