Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final August 19, 2025 <br />Attachments: Rain Tree Corners HOA Letter with signatures and map <br />IRFWCD Permit <br />IRC Right of Way permit "ready" <br />Signed and Sealed Engineered Construction Plans <br />CK Contractors & Development Proposal <br />Assistant Director of Public Works Danny Ooley presented the special <br />assessment request from the residents of Raintree Comers. He recounted that the <br />culvert at the entrance to the 16 -home subdivision failed during heavy rain, and <br />the County's Road and Bridge Department provided a temporary fix. In pursuing <br />a permanent fix, the residents were informed the Indian River Farms Water <br />Control District (IRFWCD) required replacing the existing 60 -inch culvert with a <br />larger 84 -inch reinforced concrete pipe which raised the project's cost to over <br />$300,000. Most homeowners could not afford to pay this upfront so the <br />Homeowners Association (HOA) petitioned Public Works to create a special <br />assessment to fund the project. The HOA turned over the engineering plans and <br />permits already gathered. Half of the homeowners have committed to paying their <br />share at the project's start, while four residents had yet to submit consent <br />signatures. Mr. Ooley described the next steps in approving the subdivision's <br />request. <br />Commissioner Adams received confirmation from Attorney Shuler that the <br />Attorney's Office was working in conjunction with Public Works to prepare and <br />certify the public notice to the residents. Vice Chairman Loar was notified that a <br />new bid would be secured, but the repayment terms had not yet been decided. <br />Mr. Ooley also confirmed to Vice Chairman Loar that residents who paid early <br />would reduce the amount the others would be assessed. <br />Richard Minetti expressed his community's need for the repair and thanked the <br />Board. <br />Joel Molinari notified the Board that 14 residents had provided their consent. He <br />praised Public Works for their assistance. <br />Mary Wolonowski described the hardship she faced by the failed culvert. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman Loar, seconded by Commissioner <br />Adams, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the <br />following vote: <br />Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman Loar, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner <br />Earman, and Commissioner Moss <br />K.
