with the quality of his water. He wanted to know if the assessment includes restoring the pavement and Mr. Pinto said yes, it would. Mr. Banner said he supported Mr. Graves' suggestion. Leo Cahill, Jr., 1195 43rd Avenue, submitted a petition and spoke of the many homes for sale in the area and the plight of those who cannot afford their assessments. His property is used for agriculture; he intends to keep it that way for 30 years; and felt he will not benefit by the water project. Dan Veteran, 746 34th Terrace, objected to the project. He did not want the water. Charles Garrett, 1180 Apple Way, one of the original petitions in the project, was upset about the three changes in the assessment costs. First, they were told it would be $3,400, then $5,600 and the letter of June 5th stated it would be $5,000. Cal Trump, 1176 42nd Avenue, wanted to see the County fund the cost of the lines and the property owners pay the impact fee. He was unclear about the $9 million the County would lose, and Commissioner Scurlock explained that if the County is not in compliance with the Comp Plan in regard to the urban service areas, the State could withhold $9 million in State revenue sharing funds. Dora Seigal, 910 28th Avenue, submitted a petition, stating that out of the 21 homes in their area, 17 owners are opposed to the water project. Joan Evans, 39th Avenue, asked about the hookup charge to her house, and Commissioner Scurlock explained that the assessment pays for the lines up to the property line. The owner is responsible for bringing the water from the street to the house. Vernon Parker, 950 28th Avenue, inquired about the exact meaning of an undersized lot; he had been told at an informational meeting it was a quarter acre or less. Furthermore, he was told that if there was even one undersized lot on a street, they could not petition out of the water service. He wanted that confirmed. Director Keating described a substandard lot as a lot that is a half acre or less and has an on-site well and septic tank. Valerie Buffington, who owns a lot on Apple Way, felt it unfair to pay for the square footage of the full lot when vacant land owners are paying only for the 150 -foot depth. William F. Fey, 745 36th Avenue in Florida Acres, wanted to revoke their petition requesting water service and read a document addressed to the County Commissioners. John Tippin, representing Grace Lutheran Church at 12th Street and 41st Avenue, advised they were looking for some special circumstance, possibly a 150 -foot depth vacant lot exemption. 23 JUN 18 199 L_ BOOK, 3- �,A,, 6g2'
