CHAS AND STAFFED MANAGER OF AS*TY PROJECTS BY: DEPARTMENT OF SERVICES SUBJECT: ANITA PARK - 38TH PLACE WATER SERVICE PROJECT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UWP 91 -05 -DS PUBLIC HEARING, RESOLUTION NO. III BACKGROUND On September 30 1991, the Indian River County Board, of County Commissioners approved Resolution I (91-103), which contained the preliminary assessment roll describing the project and cost, and Resolution II (91-104), setting the date of the public hearing for the subject project. Propertyowners have been notified of the - public hearing by certified mail. Resolution 91-103 was published in the Vero Beach PRESS JOURNAL on September 9, 1991. (See attached agenda item and minutes of the above meeting.) ANALYSIS Design of the water distribution system is complete. Approval of the attached Resolution III will confirm and approve the preliminary assessment. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. The project will serve the 30 lots bordering on 38th Place from Kings Highway/58th Avenue, east to 56th Avenue. The petition for this service was signed by owners of 20, or 67%, of the lots. All of the lots in. this project are substandard or "undersized," according to Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan, and the County Public Health Unit, Division of Environmental Health, which require that new lots utilizing well and septic systems be a minimum of 1/2 acre. If served by a public water system, the lot may. be reduced to .1/4 acre in size. Lots not meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots." j The total estimated cost to be assessed of $27,430.00..has been up- dated, and the new. -amount is $27,388.12. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Resolution III, which affirms the preliminary assessment on the subject project. Commissioner Scurlock inquired about the square footage assessment, and Mr. Chastain advised that there was a slight modification and he believed it is about 11.51 per sq. ft. Commissioner Scurlock felt that was slightly on the upper side, and Mr. Chastain noted that we have some slightly higher and some a bit lower. This, however, is a preliminary assess- ment and just an estimate until we actually put it out to bid. Chairman Bird asked if anyone wished to be heard. 41 l s' SEP 2 1991 � Roo� `y �
