Board PAGE 454 example is what drove us to the 2 -acre formula. It is very much like all of the other properties that were in the other district. Commissioner Eggert emphasized that you cannot treat a 2 -acre parcel one way in this project and differently in another project unless there is really a very special reason for it. Director Pinto suggested that if you assumed this parcel was part of the neighboring properties, you could go the same depth that they are being assessed which is around 320 feet. Mr. Wilson advised that Mr. Jacobs would be perfectly happy if the Board would consider assessing the front 150 feet of his property, reducing the assessment to less than $4,000. Commissioner Adams noted that the assessment then would be approximately $8,100 which puts it on an even keel with the other multi -acreage property owners. Bruce Barkett, attorney representing Timber Ridge, presented a sketch that he prepared and explained that Timber Ridge is being assessed for_.two streets -- 7th Street SW which is approximately 4.5 acres, 1,320 feet long, and 10th Avenue which is another 4.5 acres, 1,320 feet. Timber Ridge will not get its water from either of these lines, but from Rebel Road. The project will probably benefit from the line running on 7th Street SW which could help with looping and water flows, but the project will not benefit in any way from the line running along 10th Avenue, north and south. This is basically a subdivision expansion project. That piece of property is only 220 feet wide and it can't be developed residentially. Timber Ridge doesn't have any objection to paying its assessment on the 7th Street, SW property, where they are being assessed for- 150 depth at $30,000; however, they -do have an objection to being assessed for the 10th Avenue line because that doesn't provide them any benefit. Chairman Tippin inquired if it has already been determined definitely that Timber Ridge will have access from Rebel Road and Mr. Barkett replied that it's as definite as it can be. Director Pinto explained that, if it can be proven that there's absolutely no benefit, it shouldn't be assessed. However, if it can be determined that the property could be developed in any fashion and would benefit, then they should be assessed. Andrew Mustapick, of 700 Timberidge Trail, Vero Beach, advised the Board that all of Timber Ridge's development is going to be a planned unit development which they intend to wall off. They are going to come in off 20th Avenue and Rebel Road and the community OCTOBER 4, 1994 26
