Options: 1. Raw waterside stream: Install a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) raw watermain approximately 2,007 linear feet (LF) to extend from the existing IRC Well No. 7. Estimated project cost of $264,060.00. o Pros: IRCDUS and Van Antwerps share same water from NCRO well field. o Cons: Time to permit. Operational concerns of IRCDUS staff for the feed water to the NCRO WTF. 2. Potable water: Run aside stream from the existing 3" PVC on 81st Street. Estimated cost of $3,400.00. o Pros: Quick, easy to perform. o Cons: Goes directly against SJRWMD and IRCDUS water conservation efforts. Amounts could be great. 3. Extend Reuse Main: Install approximately 3,360 -LF reuse main to extend from 58th Avenue. The estimated project cost was $365,970.00. o Pros: Reuse line on edge of 581h Ave. Not tied to UFA. o Cons: Perception. Long run to VA properties. Not pressurized. Signage required. 4. Buy the Property: As part of the 66th Avenue road widening project, a portion of the VA parcel closest to 66th Avenue is being impacted, approximately 0.99 -Acres. Public Works requested an appraisal, and the appraisal indicated a value of $22,300 for the 0.99 -Acres. The $22,300 per acre multiplied by approximately 28.93 acres ($645,139) was a preliminary number utilized in the subject option. This number was conveyed to Mr. Van Antwerp via SJRWMD. According to other sources, the owner stated that the value quoted per acre, based on appraised value, was too low, and no counter was offered. No further evaluation of the subject option was conducted due to lack of interest from the owner, and the lack of need for the remainder of the approximately 27 acres for public purposes such as road widening or storm water retainage. None of the options above were considered acceptable for various reasons outlined above. A fifth option, employing wells fitted with submersible pumps, was decided by all as the best way to provide the VA properties with water now and into the future. The attached draft mitigation plan, which is a culmination of many months of negotiations between SJRWMD, the Van Antwerps and County staff, provides that assurance and is one that staff recommends. The draft mitigation plan (Attachment 3) has been agreed to by SJRWMD and the Van Antwerps. See attached email dated April 26, 2018 (Attachment 6), indicating the acceptance of this plan. Key highlights of the draft mitigation plan. • Furnish a new Well No. 6 for agricultural use, which will be a fully permitted 6" UFA well equipped with a 2 horsepower (hp) Grundfos submersible pump, new concrete well pad, electrical service and control panel. • Retrofit existing Well No. 1 for agricultural use, with a 2 hp Grundfos submersible pump after video logging. A new well head will be provided • Provide annual maintenance inspections on Well No. 6 and Well No. 1 and replace pumps/motors, if needed. • Continue to provide County potable water at no charge to the three house structures and one packing house with reasonable amounts. Any usage over those amounts will be billed monthly at current consumption rates. • This draft agreement is valid for agricultural use of the water and will become null and void at such time as all the properties change use from agricultural purposes. It should be noted that SJRWMD staff have been very professional and great to work with during this process as well as the Van Antwerps, who have been very helpful to staff and patient while the plan was developed. 154 Page 4 of 7 C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCLTechnotogies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@ACODF439\@BCL@ACODF439.docx
