located very close to their property line and the County's <br />proposed effluent irrigation fields. Staff is recommending that <br />the -Board pass a Resolution stating that Indian River County <br />opposes the issuance of a permit for the well, and follow through <br />with whatever is necessary to block the issuance of the permit. <br />Bent Pine's permit application states that there is no need for <br />additional consumptive water, but they are asking to put in this <br />standby well to assure future service as they are projecting that <br />750 homes will be built in the Bent Pines area in the next 7 <br />years. Director Pinto believed that someone has a wonderful <br />dream to think that is going to happen in that short of time. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 87-40 to the St. Johns River Water <br />Management District protesting a well permit <br />application by Bent Pine Utilities Co. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we have any inkling as to why we <br />seem to be having a problem with this particular utility. <br />Although it might be his imagination, it seemed to him that they <br />are trying to get back at us for some reason. <br />Director Pinto did not understand what the problem is, but <br />explained that we are willing to include a condition in our <br />permit application on the irrigation system, that would assure <br />them that if there is ever any interference with their wells, we <br />will move their wells or take whatever steps are necessary to <br />correct the situation. Further, we are looking at running County <br />water into that area. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt that part of the problem is that the <br />owner lives in Texas and is not really aware of what is <br />happening. He believed it has something to do with the County <br />not exercising our option to acquire their water and sewer <br />franchise. <br />APR 200 1-907 <br />�, U <br />800 � E <br />
