JUN 22 1993 BOOK 8 9 ul-N. 9 1 12 Floral Park 57th Avenue, east to 56th Avenue, 43rd Street on the north and 41st Street (S. Gifford Road) on the south Ranch Estates East side of Kings Highway to 57th Avenue, 43rd Street on the north and 4lSt Street (S. Gifford Road) on the south Metes and Bounds Various, abutting various streets Acreage Parcels throughout the above (non -platted) The total estimated project cost is $2,166,044.27, less a non -assessed transmission main cost of $418,669.82. The total cost to be assessed is $1,747,374.45. The cost per square foot is $0.118489. This project contains 901 parcel I.D.1s, including 1,137 parcels and platted lots, of which 1,069, or 94%, 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 one-half acre. If served by a public water system, the lot may be reduced to one-quarter acre in size. Lots not meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots." The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of county commissioners approve the.attached Resolution. Utility Services Director Terry Pinto explained that the first two phases of water expansion are virtually completed. The water lines are being constructed within the urban service area as required by the Comprehensive Plan. In the Utilities Master Plan we have the priority of serving areas with substandard lots, those under a half acre, with the eventual goal of serving the entire urban service area. In extending water lines to the undersized -lot areas, we construct lines through other areas, including agricultural, and the process of assessment by square footage has been found to be the most equitable to everyone. Director Pinto directed the Board's attention to the enlarged graphs and drawings showing the areas included in the assessment. Community Development Director Bob Keating referred to the discussion on the earlier item regarding the urban service area requirements. our Comprehensive Plan provides the blueprint for growth and development in the county and identifies where and when services and facilities will be provided. We identify areas with problems or deficiencies and provide services in those areas first, and at some point in the future the County will provide utility services in the entire urban service area. Director Pinto pointed out that the previous discussion regarding urban service area expansion would have an effect on this assessment. If the Board does not, include the areas that currently fall outside the urban service area, this assessment will have to be recalculated. �, N
