IRC Ordinance -Waiver: <br />As part of the work performed in 2012 and throughout this process, the VA properties have been provided with <br />County potable water at no charge. Indian River County Code, Section 201.20 states that "No water or sewer <br />service shall be furnished or rendered free of charge to any person."The VA properties, as it relates to the County <br />obligations under its CUP, necessitate a special dispensation from the BCC that would allow this unique service <br />to continue. The Van Antwerps shouldbe commended for their very judicious potable water consumptive use <br />at the three domestic structures. They value clean and safe drinking water and use only sparing amounts for <br />their needs. <br />According to County code, six Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) worth of capacity are needed at the site: 1 ERU <br />per residential structure and 3 ERUs at the packing house. The current impact fee of $1,300/ERU has not been <br />paid by the VA properties, and as a requirement of the draft mitigation plan, that charge will not be collected. <br />As the capacity is being used, the cumulative water impact fee amount of $7,800 needs to be covered by some <br />other funding source. The BCC may authorize the use of IRCDUS funds to cover the ERU charges. If the property <br />is sold, the new property owner may elect to continue County potable water service but would be required to <br />reimburse IRCDUS. <br />Under staff recommendation, the BCC will be asked to cover the impact fees and to allow the Van Antwerps to <br />continue to receive County potable water at no charge, as defined in the draft Mitigation Plan. <br />155 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@ACODF439\@BCL@ACODF439.docx <br />
