J U L 16 1991 BOOK E i assessment of $2.00 per foot for those people who end up with a paved road in front of their property as it is felt they benefit a little more. Commissioner Scurlock wished to be sure we are talking about the base materials needed to put this roadway up to an adequate level, and Director Davis assured him that the roadway will be established in accordance with the design of the master plan; we do not want to pave roads and not provide adequately for drainage for the future. A gentleman from the audience wished to know if all property owners will pay the proposed assessment, and Director Davis confirmed that the assessment is for all lots in the MSTIJ, wh.*ich includes Vero Lakes Estates plus Pine Lakes Estates, and the people who have a road paved directly in front of their property will pay an additional $2.00 a foot.

Ms. Dismukes stated that she was told it would be much more by someone in the Road & Bridge Department, but Director Davis noted that the cost was $41 a foot in 1989 and we feel comfort- able that the cost will be very much the same a few years from now. Joe McBride, 9225 87th Street, noted that Mr. Davis had, talked about the drainage pipe under the roads, and wished to 6
