boa `3 FAu 446 He asked that his part of the assessment be deferred. There are 5 different parcels being assessed which are contiguous but not enjoined, and he asked for clarification on whether they would have guaranteed access to the 30' Indian River Farms Water Control District drainage ditch right-of-way that sits in the front of the property. Mr. Hett wanted assurance that -if they pay for this assessment, they are going to have access to all the parcels because they want to sell the lots individually. He would like the opportunity to sit down and research this with the Water Control District and talk with County staff a little bit more. Another concern is whether any portion of the assessment might be in lieu of impact fees and, if so, whether they would get a credit on any of that money when and if they develop the property. Director Pinto explained that the portion of the project that is considered a master plan size line is extracted out of the portion of the project that is assessed. These portions were removed to eliminate any administrative confusion later on. Staff feels there is access to the property and that there is a benefit. However, staff recognizes the large parcels that Mr. Hett and others have and they only assessed a maximum of 150 foot depth anywhere on this project. There are more linear feet per total square footage than most of the other projects, which raises the per square footage cost somewhat. In some of the other assessments, staff is going back as much as 200 feet for some of the deeper lots with smaller frontages. In this project, there are many 50 foot lots that only go 130 feet deep, which raises the cost per square foot. Commissioner Adams understood that if each one of -the parcels were owned separately, there still would be adequate access to get to each one, and Director Pinto replied there would be access. Charles A. Weber, Jr. of 1146 35th Avenue SW, affirmed his support of the Grovenor Estates project. Mark Tripson, 5020 12th Street, secretary at Jo -Bar Farms, Inc., inquired if they would be guaranteed water for their entire piece of property. Director Pinto advised they certainly would be guaranteed water for whatever portion is being assessed. The entire system is master planned for the entire service area. For example, if you are being assessed for 150 feet of property, your guarantee is that service is available for that 150 feet. Hurley Roundtree, 6566 1st Street SW, asked for assurance that his grove is exempt from the assessment and Steve Moler stated that Mr. Roundtree's grove was not included in this assessment.
