him that romex wiring is not unsafe but just that it does not <br />meet code, then that is okay. If, however, there are bare wires <br />with sparks flying, that is something else and if we identify <br />something of that nature, we need to take care of it. <br />Administrator Wright noted that obviously there are other <br />areas in the county with code violations, but if staff knows <br />about a specific code problem, they are obligated to do something <br />about it. In this case we know about it; the Attorney is saying <br />don't do anything; but what does the Commission say? <br />In further discussion, it was more or less indicated that <br />staff should go along with the status quo and not rock the boat <br />for the time being. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) instructed staff to "sit steady in the <br />boat." <br />Commissioner Bird requested information as to the <br />possibility of sewage being discharged into the canals. If there <br />are flagrant health violations at Blue Cypress, he felt the Board <br />should know. <br />Mike Galanis of the Environmental Health Unit informed the <br />Board that his department did rather extensive work out at the <br />Blue Cypress area. Mr. Galanis reported that they did not find <br />any direct discharge of sewage into the canals, and the lab <br />results on the lake samples were better than he had expected. <br />There are 100 lots, 75 of which are developed, and two or three <br />lots have more than one residence on them. They found 51 septic <br />tanks, 28 artesian wells, and one dozen surface water wells; a <br />good percentage of the time, one well will serve from one to six <br />residences. Virtually all the septic tanks were within 50' of <br />the surface water. They did find some 2' or 3" pipe into the <br />canal, and only found one 4" pipe, which had been capped. <br />41 <br />The 2 <br />N 0V 7 1984 BOOK 58 F'ci E 79 7 j <br />
