JUN 22 1993 <br />BOOK 89 P,�U916 <br />Peter Robinson, representing Guy Poteet, showed that Mr. <br />Poteet's property is outside the urban service area. County <br />regulations deny water and sewer service to that property but he is <br />included in the assessment. Mr. Robinson noted that Bruce <br />Barkett's client also is outside the urban service area. <br />Director Pinto explained that the preliminary assessment roll <br />for Water Expansion Phase In included the owners of property <br />outside the urban service area along the corridors referred to in <br />the discussion in the earlier agenda item. Based on the Board's <br />decision not to change the urban service area boundaries, the <br />assessments will be recalculated to exclude those parcels. <br />Venda Burgess, 3335 58th Avenue, corner of 58th Avenue and <br />Cherry Lane, is opposed to the water line for Cherry Lane. Her <br />house faces 58th Avenue and there is a fire hydrant directly in <br />front of her house. She wants to hook up to that water line rather <br />than from the rear of her property because that water is available <br />right now. She commented that she had to close her driveway <br />because of County policy, and now she cannot get hooked to water <br />that is available because of County policy. She feels penalized <br />for living on a corner. <br />John Christina, 3235 59th Avenue in Cherry Wood Estates, spoke <br />in favor of the water line expansion and he contended that at least <br />one third of the residents are in f avor of the water line. He also <br />urged the Board to pave his street because grading the road is <br />costly and is not successful. He assured the Board that not <br />everyone in Cherry Wood Estates is opposed to the water line. <br />Worth Auckshire, Gainesville, Florida, part owner of 3-1/2 <br />acres in Greenbriar Estates, was opposed to the water line and did <br />not want to be subjected to benefits he does not want. <br />Elizabeth Nason, 665 27th Avenue, also owns lots in Pine Tree <br />Park Subdivision and was in favor of the water line expansion. She <br />recounted that she just went through the assessment on 27th Avenue. <br />There are benefits: no water conditioner, no salt for the water <br />conditioner, no dependence on electrical power for water, and no <br />need to drill another well. She does not like paying the fee, but <br />she does like the water. <br />John Parent, 2910 55th Avenue, Cherry Wood Estates, is in <br />favor of the water line expansion. <br />52 <br />
