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