BOOK 94 PAGE 403 <br />He recalled that he and his neighbors did it themselves, on 2-1/2 <br />acre lots, with nine owners, at a cost of $2,700 each and two fire <br />hydrants were included. He could not comprehend why there was such <br />a drastic difference in the cost. He declared that the County <br />cannot put people out of their houses and advised he would support <br />the motion if it was to table all of the proposed program. <br />Commissioner Bird believed that they were two completely <br />different areas, found it difficult to consider both areas at one <br />time, and preferred to focus on them separately. <br />Commissioner Eggert agreed with Commissioner Bird and believed <br />that, in fairness, the owners in Dixie Gardens and Dixie Heights, <br />where the opinions seems to be a little diverse, should be given an <br />opportunity to express themselves at a meeting. She supported the <br />motion. <br />Commissioner Adams felt that holding another hearing meant <br />more time, money and effort, and perhaps it would be better to deal <br />with it now. <br />Commissioner Eggert believed they would have an opportunity to <br />deal with it when new figures were available. If they decided <br />against the project, they could stop it before scheduling the <br />public hearing. <br />Commissioner Adams felt very uncomfortable with the phases <br />because subdivisions were combined that were not really connected. <br />She would be more comfortable if the water phases had started <br />somewhere in the middle, such as RS -8, then RS -6, and back it down, <br />but not skipping to outlying areas, the AG or RS -1s. Many people <br />moved out there to get away from urbanization, and then it jumped <br />into their area, which makes it very difficult for her to support. <br />She agreed with Commissioner Bird -that it was not important to get <br />water service to this area at this time. <br />Commissioner Eggert wondered if a compromise might help <br />through an amendment which would address Commissioner Tippin's <br />concern on Dixie Heights and Dixie Gardens. She suggested that it <br />be brought back for discussion of whether or not to have a public <br />hearing and if the figures do not appreciably change, it would <br />simply stop there. <br />28 <br />February 21, 1995 <br />
