RECONMMATION AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that staff be authorized to implement Stage 1 and secure <br />the necessary easements for the project. Funding for title search work, <br />etc. in the amount of approximately $1000 to be by Fund 004-244- - Public <br />Works Division annual budget. Once all easements are obtained, a cost <br />estimate, preliminary assessment roll, and public hearing will be schedul- <br />ed. <br />Director Davis explained that this all came to a head when a <br />property owner wrote to Knight 8 Mathis and asked them to take <br />their pump off and stop discharging water through his land. That <br />alarmed everyone because if they take that pump out, they will <br />have flooding in that area. Director Davis emphasized that the <br />problem is that we are working with so many property owners and <br />the property keeps changing hands. What staff would like is the <br />go ahead to tie the easements down by getting formal easements <br />dedicated to the county and to have the county recognize this as <br />a county problem because it affects Old Dixie and 8th Street and <br />some of our R/W. Once they can get the easements tied down, they <br />can come up with an assessment project and cost it out to assess <br />those in the 100 acre area. There is considerable development <br />pressure in this area - FEC wants to develop, Knight 8 Mathis <br />wants to expand, as well as new developments want to come in, and <br />this all is happening quickly. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked what area basically would be <br />assessed for the drainage, and Director Davis described it as the <br />area east of Old Dixie south of 12th Street all the way area down <br />to a triple barrel pipe under the railroad at South 4th St. <br />This now discharges into the Indian River Farms south relief <br />canal, although it is not a part of their district. It is <br />possible they may want to bring this into their District. We <br />have this drainage problem all the way to the south county line. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked about including some land to the <br />west of Old Dixie as he felt some water drains off across the <br />highway, but Director Davis felt we would have a hard time doing <br />that. He believed the water mainly drains underground; you <br />generally do not see mass sheet flow across the road. He asked <br />83 <br />JAN 15 1986 sou 63 F-tI'Jc3?4 <br />
