Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director 1 SUBJECT: Request from Wayne St. Pierre to Place a Private Water Supply Well and Suction Line in 13th Avenue County Right -of -Way South of 4th Street REF. LETTER: Wayne St. Pierre to Indian River County Commissioners dated 1-10-91 DATE: January 14, 1991 FILE: water.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS _;.Due to the existing locations of private water wells and septic tanks surrounding Lot 2, Block B, Indian River Heights Subdivision, Unit 6, Wayne St. Pierre is being denied a well and septic tank permit from HRS since he cannot provide on his 73' x 115' lot, a 75' distance between his proposed well and neighboring septic tanks. To achieve the 75' separation, Mr. St. Pierre is requesting permission to place a water well in front of lot 1 (37' north of his lot) in County Road right-of-way (13th Avenue). Mr. St. Pierre had previously requested permission from his neighbor to place the well on Lot 1 but his neighbor refused, Once county water is available along 13th Avenue,. the well would be abandoned. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Deny the permit to place a private water well in county right- of-way since this private well could create problems for maintenance and construction within the right-of-way and a liability exposure could occur, particularly if the lot and house were sold to a new owner. Alternative No. 2 Issue a license or permit to allow the well until county water is available (approximately 12 years), at which time the property owner would completely abandon the well and connect to county water supply. RECONIIKENDATIONS AND FUNDING Alternative No. 1 is recommended. No funding consideration apply. 20 M r
