I) Poor soil conditions presenting a potential for cross contamination between well and septic tanks II) Very small lot sizes causing the well and septic systems to be too close, also presenting possible contamination issues. As time progressed, service areas within the County changed, for example, the City of Sebastian was made part of our system, then removed, and then placed back in again, causing the need for several revisions to be made in the master plan. Also, during the same period (late 80's early 901s) the County was developing a "Comprehensive Plan" , which is a state mandated plan for orderly growth within the County, to avoid urban sprawl. Accepting that I hilities must romp before developmgn=, regionally planned water and wastewater facilities became a driving force in the Comprehensive Plan. Because the Comprehensive Plan designates areas of residential and commercial development and puts requirements for the timing of service, the Comprehensive Plan has become the molding force for the Master Plan. As an example, I will site the requirement to provide water service to 30% of all existing residential and 50% of existing non- residential by 1995 within the designated service areas. To put utility construction projects into perspective, let's look at actual costs. I) Total Capital Construction Dollars w/m the last ten year S 60.000 000 00 II) Total Capital Construction Dollars currently managed by staff $ 52.0 0 000 nn III) Total Projected Capital out lay through 2010 $10.000 000 00 Note: 2010 is the end of the current Master Plan. However, it only represents a 60% commercial and 80% residential build out of the current land use designations, all dollars are approximate only. These construction costs cover line extensions (i.e. Master Plan), assessment projects (which can be phased expansion into areas of undersized lots), water, wastewater expansions and effluent display system expansions. Details of all the expansion plans covered in the Master Plan will follow in upcoming sections from water quality requirements, build out of water, wastewater, and effluent collection systems/distribution systems and treatment plant expansions. 25 FEBRUARY 3, 1997 Ri10K16' i PA E ��
