a <br />SEP 3 0 1996 BOOK ujt 9.07 <br />which is $1,140, plus $115 for the meter and a security deposit <br />of $40.00. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired about the average cost for <br />running from our line to the resident's house, and Assistant <br />Director Barton noted that it depends on where their well connects <br />into the house. It basically calls for using 111PVC line from the <br />meter into the house, and Mr. Barton estimated the cost to be <br />between $150-200. The total cost of all fees to actually get in <br />service is around $3,000. <br />Utilities Director Pinto felt it should be understood that <br />the assessment for the improvements is mandatory, but impact fees <br />will be paid only when someone chooses to connect. Those owning <br />empty lots, however, will not be able to put in a well, and will <br />have to connect to the system when they build. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Robert Caron of River Shores made the point that the percentage <br />that was taken was only against residences.that are in existence, <br />and there are about 4 to 10 out on the canals that are inclined <br />to go in also. He believed most of those he has talked to are <br />for the water. <br />Virgil Tetzworth, River Shores resident, advised that he is <br />a property appraiser. Approximately 400 of the subdivision is <br />undeveloped at present, and he felt now is the time to bring the <br />water in before more people build and you may have more opposition. <br />Mr. Tetzworth, based on his own experience, felt the amount of <br />cost to bring water to the subdivision, including impact fees, <br />etc., would wash out when compared to the value that would be <br />added to the property because of the availability of water. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked how many people present were in <br />favor of the improvements, and about 20 people raised their hands <br />while about 5 indicated their opposition. <br />72 <br />
