lines on CR -512 from Sebastian Middle School to I-95 to serve the industrial nodes in that area. The utility lines on CR -512 will be funded through future impact fees, and property owners who benefit from the utility lines on 102nd Terrace will be assessed for that part of the project. After the project had begun, one side of 102nd Terrace was removed from the assessment because it is outside the urban service area and commercial node boundary. He stressed that the Health Department and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have indicated that 102nd Terrace cannot be developed industrially without utilities. Director Pinto commented on a partial letter the'County had received from Helene Holding Company stating that Hetra Computer and Profold, Inc. will be exempt from this project. However, both of those companies have been included in the project, and at some point they will be required to abandon their own treatment facility and connect to the County facility. Administrator Chandler commented that 102nd Terrace is outside the commercial node and also is being considered for acquisition through the State of Florida Conservation and Recreational Land (CARL) program. Community Development Director Bob Keating explained that the State of Florida has a policy with CARL acquisitions whereby, if a local government takes action on a parcel that potentially increases its value, CARL discontinues negotiations. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. John McKirchy, Daytona Beach, attorney for DSC of Newark Enterprises, announced that his client is in favor of industrial development in the subject area. He understood that the current project has been downsized considerably from the original plan, and he was concerned that the project area is now too small to be developed as an industrial park. He suggested that the project be enlarged to include an area to the east of 102nd Terrace. He realized that the industrial node is large, but the area currently under consideration for utilities service is only about 55 acres, and he was concerned that it would attract warehouses and service industries instead of high quality manufacturing industries. His other concern was that since the assessment area has been reduced considerably, the cost is being passed on to a smaller number of property owners, and the assessment cost per square foot has almost doubled. He suggested amending the plan to include a larger assessment area, and added that he did not think we should treat the proposed CARL acquisition as a foregone conclusion. 25 ,AUG 101993 PGGK 90 F, CUE V3
