on November 30, 1993, we held a preliminary assessment informational <br />meeting with the home owners and have since received petitions from <br />approximately 64% of the property owners against proceeding with this <br />project due to the anticipated cost. We have made additional inquiries <br />to the State HRS and DEP offices as to the*!- recommendations with <br />regard to this project. As can be seen from these letters, both <br />agencies see this project as necessary. (See attached letters.) <br />The Utilities Department, has expended less than $3;000.00 on this <br />project for outside services and wishes (prior to any additional <br />expenditures) to seek the Board of County Commissioners' direction with <br />regard to this project. <br />Our options are as follows: <br />1) Proceed with the project as originally approved with the <br />approval of the additional survey contract with Masteller, <br />Moler and Reed. <br />2) Cancel or postpone the project and enter into a developer's <br />agreement with Ms. Debbie Barns as originally proposed in the <br />May 11, 1993 agenda item. Thus, allowing her to begin <br />construction of their home. <br />3) Enter into developer's agreement with Ms. Barns to avoid any <br />delay in construction of"her home and proceed with project in <br />option one (1). <br />�����I -0K <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services requests the Board of <br />County Commissioners to provide direction to the Department and approve <br />one of the options presented above. <br />Commissioner Macht asked whether there is evidence of <br />pollution, and Director Pinto responded that the Utilities <br />Department did an analysis to see whether this project could be <br />designed and constructed. The issue of pollution was left to the <br />Health Department and other concerned agencies. <br />Commissioner Macht asked whether there have been any <br />complaints about pollution. <br />Director Pinto responded that there have not been complaints <br />on -an individual basis but there is a problem with the river. One <br />individual septic tank may not cause a problem, but collectively <br />they will cause pollution. <br />Commissioner Adams asked why the cost of this project is so <br />much greater than others. <br />Director Pinto explained that the problem is that we cannot <br />use a conventional gravity system. The system will consist of <br />small -diameter force mains with an electrical system that can <br />service individual lift stations for each home. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, to approve staff's option 2. <br />. 43 ��OK 92 KEW <br />JUN x.41994 <br />
