Commissioner Eggert questioned how much servicing the_towers <br />require, and Mr. Douglas replied that Florida Power has its. own <br />patrol roads. <br />County Attorney Vitunac advised that there was a discussion <br />regarding dedicating the 50 feet to the County as a utility <br />easement. <br />Commissioner Bird wanted to know if there is any way the <br />project could benefit from that 50 foot strip, and Utilities <br />Department Director Terry Pinto agreed that. if :that area were <br />platted so they could not develop it, they would receive no benefit <br />from the project. However, he cautioned that there would be <br />$33,000 added back into the project. <br />Director Davis commented that 96th Ave needs to be paved and <br />if the easement were granted, that would be a help. One <br />alternative would be to construct a one-way road on 96th Avenue but <br />people in residential areas do not like one-way streets. <br />Commissioner Bird emphasized that the additional burden caused <br />by removing Florida Power from the assessment should not fall on <br />other property owners in the area. <br />Dee Brown of 2100 98th Avenue felt that another exit from the <br />neighborhood is needed but wanted to be certain that she would not <br />be assessed for the additional portion caused by Florida Power's <br />removal from the assessment. She owns 7 lots and will have to pay <br />about $30,000, so it will be at least 15 years before she will be <br />able to see a return on her property. She also expressed a concern <br />with the M-1 multi -family designation and hoped that the County <br />would not allow apartment buildings in the area. <br />Commissioner Bird explained that the designation under the <br />Comp Plan is because of the size of the lots but the zoning is <br />still single-family residential. <br />Gene Bolero of 1455 Wynn Cove felt the community should be <br />zoned commercial because of the new outlet mall and complained that <br />the assessment is a big burden. He believed there will be a lot of <br />foreclosures in the area. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this <br />matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Bird wanted to be sure that Florida Power will <br />work with the County engineering department and that a restriction <br />is placed on the lots so that they. -can never be developed. <br />NOVEMBER 7, 1995 25 BON96 poE538 <br />'r <br />L_ <br />
