- M <br />where General Development Utilities takes over. The assessment <br />was done on a square footage basis, meaning that we just took the <br />gross square footage of all the properties that we feel will <br />benefit and distributed the cost in that fashion. However, there <br />is a question by some of the property owners along the river <br />about the undevelopable land along the wetlands, but we have no <br />way of establishing whether those properties are actually <br />undevelopable. There is also a question of trading densities <br />from the undevelopable portions of those properties to the upland <br />portions. If, in fact, we were to establish specifically that <br />certain portions of that property along there could not be <br />developed, we would simply take that cost and redistribute it to <br />the uplands property. That would mean that the property owners <br />would have to sign away their rights to develop. He didn't know <br />if individual property owners would see any major difference in <br />their assessments, however, because all that means is that the <br />square foot assessment would increase--fo--_th-e-property which is <br />developable. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt it is critical fo:r everyone to <br />realize that this force main is designed to take flow both ways, <br />and Director Pinto further explained that it is designed to take <br />the present flow north to the City's wastewater treatment plant <br />until such time as we establish a south county wastewater <br />treatment plant and reverse the flow. At that time, if the City <br />wished, they could push wastewater through that line to the <br />County's facility as the line is sized to carry that. Twenty <br />percent of the cost of the project is not being assessed and is <br />being picked up by the Utility because We don't feel it is a <br />benefit to the property owners. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if the Indian River Boulevard <br />budget included the $90,000, or some amount, for utilities' <br />payment, and Director Pinto believed it did. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that some believe that it was <br />included in the right-of-way acquisition budget, but it is not. <br />13 K7 <br />JAN' �� °990 �oo� � F.� E 76 <br />
