Frances Betz, 9887 87th Court, a widow and 32 -year resident of Vero Lake Estates, lived on Social Security supplemented by baby sitting. She said she has delicious water and excellent septic tanks and was not in favor of the project. Bruce Crocker, 8826 101 Court, Vero Lake Estates, believed that, in a democratic society, if the people don't want something, they should have some control and not have it forced down their throats. He was against the plan. "Maria", of Vero Lake Estates, advised she had been paying taxes on her property for years and wanted something done about the streets and drainage first. She stated her well water was fine, and she was not in favor of the project. Eleanor Perroni, who moved here a year ago from Miramar, was opposed to the plan. Lena Reed, 8885 101st Court, said she was against the water but wanted better roads and drainage. There being no one else wishing to be heard, the Chairman closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bird thought Vero Lake Estates was somewhat unique because, although it has been developed as a subdivision, it is a rural area and people have bought out there and have chosen to live there because of the rural nature. He thought that in time it would be required to be done. However, he did not get a clear signal from the people of Dixie Gardens and Dixie Heights. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to 1) delete the Vero Lake Estates area from the project and 2) direct staff to recompute the project, leaving in the other areas, refigure the assessments, and_ advertise another public hearing specifically for those areas, to be held at night. Under discussion, Commissioner Tippin advised that the majority of his calls came from Dixie Heights and Dixie Gardens owners and they were against it also. He felt it was just too expensive and that it should be able to be done more economically. 27 February 21, 1995 Boor PAGE
