.- non -spec (does not meet tertiary standards), then it does not meet public criteria for irrigating golf courses and you must _ have a provision to put that into a perc pond. Secondly, they talk about a 15 day holding time where weather conditions present a problem where you can't irrigate. If you are talking about 1 million gpd, it would involve 15 million gallons worth of storage. This would require vast amounts of area, which would hardly ever be used, but it could potentially flood the area, and this could have a very bad effect on some tree roots. _ Chairman Scurlock asked if the property has any potential to be used for a North County sub -regional water plant, and Director Pinto felt it certainly is a good area to build a treatment plant and spot wells; although our water plant does not make use of the shallow aquifer. It would only take 5-6 acres -maximum for the plant; the wells actually require very little area; and if the area can be protected, that would be fine. Commissioner Bowman discussed the cost of acquiring river - front property, and Chairman Scurlock noted that the riverfront property along Indian River Boulevard north would come through the Transportation Fund and is a separate issue. Commissioner Bowman asked about the Lowenstein property and that in back of Vista Royale. Commissioner Bird did not see the need to buy those lands to preserve them as the permitting requirements will not allow the lands to be built on; so, the regulations in the law will preserve them for us. Commissioner Bowman believed the only way we can get the high marsh back as high marsh is to control it. Chairman Scurlock brought up the possibility of doing that through transfer of density rights where the owners would dedicate the land and in return get a density transfer to some other area of the county, but Commissioner Bird felt transferring density rights all over could cause problems. 51 JUN 23 1987 BOOK �.645
