Commissioner Scurlock thought Mr. Coppola's program is an excellent one and is a good starting point. However, we need more input from the public. He also felt that Vero Lake Estates is a unique area which the County has left on the back burner, unattended, and believes the County might have a responsibility above and beyond the main feeder roads in this community. Commissioner Wheeler took exception because he said it is not unlike Sebastian Highlands, Vero Beach Highlands and the other General Development communities. It is a subdivision and, other than living there or visiting a resident, there is no reason to go in there. Truman Patterson, 8856 101st Avenue, spoke in opposition. He said he moved out to Vero Lake Estates 11 years ago to get away from all the traffic. At that time there were eight houses on 87th Street and no houses on 101st Avenue, and all dirt roads. He felt if a resident wants his road paved, he should not ask everyone to pay for it. He did not believe the proposed high school will bring that much more traffic, just as the middle junior school did not. He felt when people move to Vero Lake Estates they know they have unpaved roads, bad drainage, low property and they still build there. Mr. Patterson urged the Commission to hold a workshop so that all the people from Vero Lake Estates can be heard. Chairman Bird recognized John Bradley in the audience but Mr. Bradley was willing to wait to speak at the public meeting. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously agreed to hold a public meeting to discuss the increase of Vero Lake Estates MSTU assessment on Tuesday, July 16 at 7:00 o'clock p.m. at the North County Public Library.
