<br />Mr. Ketter is requesting at this time that the nine parcels indicated above be removed from the special
<br />assessment program. The subtracted cost, if approved, would be $51,618.06 for road paving and
<br />drainage improvements and $21,244.73 for waterline improvements.
<br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
<br />At the time that staff developed the assessment roll, it was determined that the Marquis Corporation
<br />property, which has frontage on State Road 60 and the local roads in Vero Tropical Gardens
<br />Subdivision, would benefit from the project for the following reasons:
<br />1) Waterlines will be constructed to the property line of the property, allowing for easy
<br />connection and fire protection.
<br />2) An enhanced drainage system will be constructed to facilitate area wide stormwater
<br />runoff.
<br />3) Ninety-fourth Court and 94" Drive, which both front on the subject parcels, will be
<br />paved to allow improved access to the property from the north. Although the site will
<br />probably have access to SR60 via a future marginal access road, the future
<br />commercial use of the property could benefit by having employee access, solid waste
<br />truck access, and local subdivision access from the north.
<br />Since the project was approved, construction has -begun with clearing of the road right-of-ways.
<br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
<br />Staff recommends leaving the assessment roll as approved in December, 1995. Changing the
<br />assessment roll would involve a new public hearing, re -notification to three hundred six parcel
<br />owners, and raising the assessment to the remaining property owners or the County paying the
<br />$72,862.79 from some other revenue source.
<br />Jack Better, president of The Marquis Corporation, 613 North
<br />Lake Blvd., North Palm Beach, explained that their firm is a close
<br />knit family corporation. They object to being included in this
<br />assessment since they will not benefit by it. He emphasized that
<br />94th and 95th Courts are of_no advantage to them at all. In fact,
<br />they plan to fence off the residential area from their residential
<br />areas. He questioned paying for water that is available right
<br />across the street, 200 feet from their property. He didn't object
<br />to the water as much as he objected to the paving, however.
<br />Chairman Eggert explained that these improvements would
<br />increase the value of the property if it is sold in the future.
