increase of $35. Mr. Coppola wished to know if we have to go <br />through any more public hearings on this proposal. <br />Commissioner Scurlock advised that the TRIM notices have to <br />go out, and then we will have 2 budget hearings in September, and <br />Chairman Bird further explained that while the Commission can <br />vote tonight to have the appropriate millage for this project <br />included in this coming year's budget, that millage would become <br />official only after the budget hearings in September. <br />Terry Schwartz, 8776 99th Ave., noted that he just bought <br />out in this area. He found a reasonable lot and a good house. <br />He felt it is a good development, and if people want to live in <br />the "country country," then he felt they should live on a farm <br />because this area will continue to be developed. Mr. Schwartz <br />was in favor of the proposed paving because he believed it will <br />bring up property values and benefit everyone even though the <br />road he lives on will not be paved. <br />Tom Clark, 8265 90th Avenue, wished to know if anyone has <br />looked into whether there is any state or federal money <br />available, and Director Davis advised that in the 170's the state <br />proposed an Off System Roads Fund, but that was eliminated some <br />time ago, and since then the DOT has not funded local roads of <br />this nature. <br />Mr. Clark noted that he pays more flood insurance than a <br />person who lives on an island, and he asked if these improvements <br />will affect that. <br />Director Davis explained about the Flood Insurance rate <br />maps, noting that basically Mr. Clark is living in what is called <br />the 100 year flood plain, and that is why when you come in for a <br />building permit, the Health Department requires you to build your <br />lot up a certain number of feet to get your septic tank high <br />enough. <br />Mr. Clark continued that he lives on the Sebastian River, <br />and -'the main drainage ditch for the whole area comes by his house <br />and dumps in that river. He does not have a problem with that, <br />but wondered why that drainage system can't be utilized for its <br />most effective use. <br />Director Davis advised that the whole subdivision discharges <br />into that 90th Avenue canal, but that canal serves 20,000 acres <br />around the subdivision and it cannot handle that whole watershed. <br />Mr. Clark noted that there is another canal down on 79th, <br />and Mr. Davis explained that is a part of the Sebastian River <br />Drainage District, which is an independent system and is not <br />available for us to tie into. <br />Mr. Clark then recommended that the County look into the <br />/� <br />p <br />A s <br />BOOK N UC.
