• DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2000 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DONALD R. HUBBS, P.E. DIRECTOR OF UTILITY CES PREPARED JAMES D. CHAST AND STAFFED MANAGER OF S PROJECTS BY: DEPARTMENT O SERVICES SUBJECT: SEBASTIAN WATER EXPANSION PHASE III -A RESOLUTION III — PUBLIC HEARING INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO UW -97 -16 -DS BACKGROUND On October 3, 2000, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolutions 2000-122 (Resolution 1) and 2000-123 (Resolution In, which contained the preliminary assessment roll and established the date of the public hearing for the subject project. Property owners have been notified of the public hearing by mail. Resolution 2000-122 was published in the PRESS JOURNAL on October 9, 2000. Construction of the Phase II -D & II -E portions of the project area is underway and should be completed by August 2001. We are now ready to proceed with Phase III -A. ANALYSIS Design of the water distribution system is complete. Approval of the attached Resolution III will confirm and approve the preliminary assessment. On October 12, 2000 at 7:00 p.m., an informational meeting was held, in the North County Library, for the benefit of the property owners. Within the Phase III -A project area, bordered by Barber Avenue, to the East, with Periwinkle Drive, along the South and West and Caravan Terrace to the North, there are 861 lots and tracts, and 384 homes, to benefit from this project. Typical platted lot sizes are .25 acre, plus or minus. More effective management of project construction, inspections, cash flows, and interaction with property owners is being accomplished by having divided Phases II and III into smaller projects. This may enable more utility construction contractors to bid on these projects possibly making the bid process more competitive. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment projects, as divided into parts A, B, C, D & E. for Phase IN (Exhibit 3). Phases II -D & II -E were combined to adhere with scheduling agreed upon with the City of Sebastian and to complete the remainder of Phase II (North of CR 512). Phase II -E will serve the City of Sebastian municipal complex, as well as provide potable water and fire protection to an area noted for failing well systems. The City of Sebastian is waiting for the completion of the water line installation in order to complete road & drainage improvements and comply with bonding requirements. OCTOBER 24, 2000 -35- •
