Vitunac, REFERENCES: <br />County Attorney <br />For sometime now the City of Vero Beach has been proceeding to <br />acquire right of way for the construction of an electrical <br />transmission line to connect the substation at the Vero Beach <br />Municipal Airport with Indian River Shores and also to lay a <br />water transmission main along the same route. There have been <br />meetings between the City and County staffs to determine the <br />precise location of the City's right of way so that the <br />County's ultimate right of way for South Gifford Road will be <br />protected. <br />The City and Co-unty staffs agreed on a typical 70 -foot wide <br />right-of-way requirement with the City taking the South 30 <br />feet of this right of way for electrical and water purposes <br />and the County taking the North 40 feet for road right-of-way <br />purposes, There would be a joint agreement for the City to <br />have the right for its electrical lines to swing in high winds <br />over a portion of the County's road right of way, and the <br />County would have the right to use a portion of the City's <br />easement for drainage purposes. <br />Mr. Don Finney, the County R/ W Agent, has expressed optimism <br />at getting significant portions of the South Gifford Road <br />right of way donated to the County; however, there may be <br />smaller parcels which will have to be condemned. The City <br />will also have to file a condemnation action for its <br />electrical and water right-of-way requirements. The staff <br />recommends that a joint action be filed with the City and <br />County paying a share of the cost based on the proportion of <br />right of way each has to condemn. <br />37 <br />
