Chairman Scurlock noted that some of these subdivision have a pretty high absentee ownership rate, and he wished to know what percentage of those who actually live in the area are desirous of the paving. We have received a letter opposing this from property owner, Salvador Aguila. Director Davis reported that out of the 36% of the residents who live in Indian River County, a majority were in favor of the paving. Out of the owners of approximately 690 parcels, they found very few dissenting. He noted that we had many requests in the past to have the County begin maintaining some other roads in Dixie Heights and that was referred to the petition paving program. Chairman Scurlock believed the Board directed staff to look into what to do about this area in regard to eliminating the cost of grading. Commissioner Bird asked how we stand with our revolving fund and whether we are likely to run out of money as we get into these bigger projects. Director Davis advised that we have $112,000 as of July 2nd, but there is quite a list of projects approved to date which have not been constructed. Staff anticipates doing some short term borrowing and have worked on that with OMB Director Baird and it will be in the budget packet. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Chris Goodney, 1535 3rd Ave. SW, informed the Board that he would like to see 3rd Ave. SW paved from 15th PI. SW to 15th Lane SW, which is the road that runs directly in front of his house. Director Davis advised that is on the paving schedule. Initially they did not have that road included in the project because staff felt the way the lots were platted in that subdivision, it could be abandoned, but since talking to the property owner, learned there has been a lot split in that area, which would result in that lot not having road frontage; so, they included it for paving. It is a very small segment. J U L , 1 1-11 - 21 BOOK d 7 �l . �� fr°.ht e�
