BACKGROUND On September 7, 1999, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners unanimously authorized staff to proceed with the design engineering necessary, in order to proceed with the above project. Design has been completed by the Department of Utility Services staff. We are now ready to begin the assessment process associated with this project (See attached EXHIBIT 1 - agenda item and minutes of the above referenced meeting, -EXHIBIT 2- Plat Map and EXHIBIT 3 - Estimated Project Cost). ANALYSIS There are 6 non- platted residential lots, which may benefit from this proposed water line on 28' Avenue. The petition has been signed by four of the owners (67%). The properties are from 0.23 acre to 0.42 of an acre. Due to lake and wetland areas, which reduce the usable land areas, staff has made adjustments to the square footages proposed for assessment, to the 4 properties along the west side and north of 28'b Avenue. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project The 2 lots abutting 4th Street were provided service in the Phase I Water Project, which was completed on January 12, 1993 and are not included. ( see attached EXHIBIT 2- Plat Map). Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan states, "The County's water system shall be expanded to supply the potable water needs of the eastern half of the County during the period 1986- 2005."(See attached EXHIBIT 5, page 4 of the Potable Water Sub -element, and page 22 of the Sanitary Sewer Sub -element). This project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water line route. In the interim, funding will be from the Assessment Fund No. 473-000-169-372.00. Twenty Eighth Avenue is a private street, and the owners have provided the County with the necessary utility easement Attached are Resolutions I and II for the assessment project The total estimated project cost and amount to be assessed, including engineering and administration is S 18,795.00. The estimated cost per square foot is S 0.256861 (rounded),(See attached EXHIBIT 4 -Assessment Roll). RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached resolutions, which approve the preliminary assessment roll and establish the public hearing date.
