L S.E I y� BOOK S 4 ROSELAND_ROAD _STREET _LIGHTING -DISTRICT Chairman Bird asked that Public Works Director Davis explain the charge for the Roseland Road Street Lighting District. Director Davis- informed those present that about a year ago, the Board responded to a petition submitted by the Roseland Property Owners Association, a fairly large group with a good cross section of people from that area. This group requested street lighting on the Roseland Road corridor. Basically with the Sebastian River bordering this district to the north and the Sebastian Airport to the south, it actually creates a linear geologic area. All the subdivisions that branch off of Roseland Road have to use Roseland Road itself for their ingress and egress. There are no connections into the City of Sebastian to Main Street to the south, and, therefore, Director Davis felt this was a linear concise community. He explained that due to the geographic characteristics of that area, when the Roseland Street Lighting District was developed, we proposed that we include in the benefitted area all those areas that have to use Roseland Road for ingress and egress. Mr. Davis pointed out on a map the boundaries of the district, and advised it is staff's feeling that all the property within the District benefits from the street lighting along Roseland Road, and the District is levying $6.00 per parcel/acre, which he felt is a minimal cost. Mr. Fred Mensing, resident of Roseland, advised that those who are complaining about the assessment live in Section 30, and according to the map referred to Mr. Davis, they are not included in the District; so, either his TRIM Notice is wrong or the map is incorrect. Director Davis explained that the map in question does not contain that particular section. There is one area that does go south of what is shown on the map, and it is established in the legal description written into the District. He believed that Mr. Mensing has to use Roseland Road for ingress and egress to his property. Mr. Mensing advised that he is not objecting to being included in the District, but he is objecting to the method of billing per parcel/acre. Specifically, in this Section 30, they have one county street that penetrates it for 1/4 mile - 129th St. - and they have a street which penetrates that Section which they share with the City of Sebastian - 130th St. It is because of the lack of penetration of public streets that he brings the objection forward, not for paying something but in regard to paying more than their fair share for more than they can benefit. Mr. Mensing then referred to Lot 7 in this Section owned by Louis Simone, which Mr. Simone has the ability to subdivide and make 48
