got to get the water out and disperse it to another area, but we <br />have federal, state and county rights-of-way where we can run a <br />canal, and he did not see why it should cost $58,000 to figure <br />out where to dig a canal. Mr. Polazzi noted that in the last ten <br />years his taxes have increased over $200, but he is receiving no <br />more services than he did before. He wished to know where the <br />money is going to? <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock noted that a lot of it goes to normal <br />inflation. As far as not needing a study, he pointed out that <br />county development standards at the time this subdivision was <br />created were practically non-existent, and he believed that even <br />the Ansin family realizes that some significant repairs are <br />needed. He also noted that there is a drainage district out <br />there, and you can't just dump into any canal. <br />Commissioner Bird believed that whole area must drain through one <br />canal, and only a set amount of volume can go through. A study <br />is needed to determine how much runoff is generated from Vero <br />Lakes Estates and how much must be retained.for a period of time. <br />Mr. Polazzi agreed there is a water problem there, but felt <br />it is not only Vero Lake Estates problem, it is the county's <br />also, and he did not see why they should pay to drain other areas <br />through them. In regard to one mill producing $18,000 for the <br />Fire District, he stated that while the District got two new fire <br />vehicles, Vero Lake Estates just got an old piece of equipment <br />from Fellsmere; Fellsmere and Sebastian got the new equipment. <br />OMB"Director Barton clarified that Vero Lake Estates has <br />temporary use of an old vehicle - they will get the first new one <br />delivered and the last new one delivered; they will get two new <br />fire engines. <br />Mr. Polazzi then complained about fill being brought out of <br />Vero Lake Estates. He noted it was dispersed on private property <br />and had to be removed and taken somewhere else, but the County <br />took it to Gifford when some of this fill could have been used <br />and should have been for the Vero Lakes fire department. <br />11 <br />SEP 11 1985 goo,' Faa�F! <br />
