roads of Florida Ridge Subdivision rather than Old Dixie Highway. Since the traffic count is constantly increasing on Old Dixie Highway, staff would not want to see driveways coming out onto that road. Staff feels that 3 lots is an equitable assessment. Susan Riehlman, 233 SE 24th Place, which is a cul-de-sac, stated that there is no drainage problem there now and never has been. She wondered how people were going to pay for the improve- ments, and pointed out that the County is planning to put in water lines in the near future and would be tearing up the street. Chairman Scurlock explained that a street does not have to be torn up to install water lines as they use sleeves along the side of the street. Mrs. Riehlman was opposed to the paving because she lives on Social Security and this assessment would be a real hardship. Director Davis explained that once the construction is done and the final assessment roll is approved, the property owners have 90 days to pay the assessment in full. However, there is an installment plan available whereby the assessment can be paid over 3 years at 12% interest. Joe Rossmell, 2341 2nd Court SE, wished to have the streets paved now because he felt any delay would cause them to lose their place on the petition paving schedule. Harold Hogan from Ft. Pierce explained that he owns the 54 acres west of the subdivision and is being assessed for 13 lots; however, he does not know exactly where those 13 lots are located because that section is unplatted. Director Davis explained how unplatted parcels that may be subdivided in the future are divided into equivalent lots so that they can be assessed for the benefits derived from the petition paving project. Commissioner Bird understood that staff has used the equivalent lot assessment process on parcels on three sides of Florida Ridge. 27 BOOK JUL 7.1987 IL I
