tim 241994 1 92 Pic ,X93 it is being presented as Drainage and Road Paving. I contend that none of the persons who signed the petition are approving Drainage Improvements but only Pavin4 as the solicitor described. If this project is to be approved, then the County needs to bear the full financial cost of the Drainage Improvements and can only share the paving cost with property owners. If the County is not prepared to pay 100% of the Drainage, then scrap the project. When I made the decision to purchase property in Vero Beach Homesites I retained an attorney to assist in research as to the non-existence of any homeowners association or property owners association which could affect how I would be able to enjoy freedom on my own property. If the Board honors this petition with its approval, then they are bestowing rights and priviliges where they should not exist. At the same time I am sure each family had the responsibility to be informed buyers when they chose to live in this subdivision. How can they claim to be unhappy or unsatisfied with the choice they made? Since there are no Covenants, Restrictions or Documents forming a cohesive bargaining body in the Homesites, then the required two-thirds signatures on the petition should be given less consideration. The Preamble says "Freedom for All" and not "Freedom for two -Thirds". Sixty seven percent of the people should not be able to extort thousands from my wallet to fund your responsibilities. The community style of living also offers another safeguard in that most limit Special Assessments to no more than the current Annual Assessment. If the Board feels so inclined to permit the sixty seven percent to prevail and effectively allowing them'to function as a body, then the Board should restrict itself to complete the project and only assess each owner an amount up to but not to exceed the homeowners annual property tax. If that level of funding is short, scrap the project. Seventy -Five percent share of Drainage Improvements and Paving is an excessive financial burden on people who are still shocked by the recent water project fees. I have to also think that none of the County Commissioners are qualified to pass judgement on this project and assess the people due to the Conflict of Interest. As mentioned earlier, drainage is.a County responsibility and the swales should be under constant inspection and maintenance. Just as you would not pay to improve my yard, why should we people pay to improve your roadway. There is the conflict of interest. Upon approval we will pay again for Drainage Improvements, something you should be doing already. Our loss is your gain. There are also other worthwhile points to be made against this project. Earlier I mentioned that as buyers we picked where we chose to reside. Originally coming from Philadelphia, I am tired of all concrete and asphalt. The sand street adds greatly to the country -like atmosphere and should be preserved the same as the sand streets on the barrier island were spared a few years ago. Living on the corner lot*at 32nd Avenue (which is paved) I see cars speeding every day sometimes at speeds near 60 miles per hour. Any child in the area would not have a chance to survive under these speeding maniacs. 48
