I� <br />COUNTRYSIDE MOBILE HOME PARK WATER AND WASTEWATER - <br />SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ELL -CAP -24 AND ELL -CAP -38 <br />SAN SOUCI WALCORNERO BEACH ASSOCIATES ORIGINAL <br />FRANCHISEE <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of August 21, 1996: <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney <br />DATE: August 21, 1996 <br />RE: Countryside Mobile Home Park Agreement <br />Attached is an agreement between the owner of Countryside Mobile <br />Park, Ell -Cap 24, and Indian River County which would resolve all <br />outstanding issues between the Park and the County. Since the beginning <br />of the County Utilities System the County has been working with <br />Countryside to bring the Park into the County water and sewer system. <br />The history of the relationship between the County and the Park <br />encompasses several feet of file space and many hundreds of pages of <br />correspondence and agreements. These agreements resulted in the Park. <br />actually being connected to the County sewer system in July of 1993 and <br />becoming a regular paying customer, leaving only the issue of an <br />outstanding lien against the Park unresolved. <br />The foregoing lien was placed on the Park when the Park failed to pay <br />$228,471.25 in base facility and franchise charges due to the County. <br />With penalties and interest this lien has grown to $455,717.08. The <br />attached settlement agreement would have the Park pay the County <br />$150,000.00 in cash and the County would release the lien. In addition, <br />the County would credit this payment on a dollar -per -dollar basis to the <br />future payment of water impact fees by the Park when it connects to the <br />water system. <br />This same basic offer was made by staff over a year ago to a group of <br />residents which was then attempting to buy the Park. <br />Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />authorize the Chairman to execute the attached agreement accepting <br />$150,000.00 in cash and to execute appropriate lien releases and for the <br />Utilities Department to credit the cash payment toward payment of future <br />water impact fees on the same property. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Tippin, to approve staff's <br />recommendation as set forth in the memorandum. <br />45 Bnoc 98 .FA .z 946 <br />August 27, 1996 <br />
