Mr. Flinn still maintained that the 80-20% division was not equitable and that their assessment of $45,000 is too heavy a burden. - Director Pinto advised that the City doesn't have the capacity and have gone on record that they are not going to provide the capacity. Everything that we put through there now is on loan, and we do have to build a south county wastewater treatment plant. In fact, when we asked the City specifically if they wanted us to increase the size of the line to take some of their flow to the future plant, they said no. Mr. Flinn pointed out that a potential sale of their property went bad when the interested parties were told that they had to pay all the impact fees up front for connecting to the 8th Street sewer. Director Pinto felt the worst thing that could happen to any of that property along there is not to have wastewater service, since it cannot be developed without sewers. Mr. Flinn again pointed out that when they donated right-of-way for the construction of Indian River Boulevard, they were told that sewer lines were available at 8th Street, but now they have to pay for those lines again. Commissioner Scurlock wanted to see some documentation that sewer capacity had been guaranteed at that time, but Mr. Flinn stressed that you don't get any guarantees because those things change every few weeks or so. Director. Pinto wished to point out that they were never assessed for lines on 8th Street. Robert Flinn, 411 Live Oak Road, pointed out that if the County had paid him and his brother for the 660 feet of frontage on Indian River Boulevard, rather than their donating it, they would have the money to pay this assessment. Director Pinto wanted to make it clear that the deeding of road right-of-way does not, and cannot, have any effect on utility assessments. 23BOOK i F'•'Gr 7 JAN 1990
