The attached letter from Michael J. Galanis, Environmental Health Director (Exhibit 10), lists the <br />Dixie Heights / Dixie Gardens Developments as the next priority for making County Drinking water <br />available based on the existing density, the poor groundwater quality, and the close proximity of wells <br />and septic tanks. Ninety-six and one half percent (96.5%) of the properties are "undersized" according to <br />Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan and the County Public Health Unit, Division of <br />Environmental Health, which require that lots utilizing well and septic systems be a minimum of one-half <br />acre. If served by a public water system, the lot may be reduced to one-quarter acre in size. Lots not <br />meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots."(Exhibit 11) <br />Typical lots sized in the proposed project are 50 x 100 feet or 5,000 square feet (0.11 acre). Staff is <br />proposing modified assessments for several non -platted residential home sites, which appear unlikely for <br />division or further development. (Exhibits 6 & 7). The 150ft. rule has been applied to "equalize" the <br />assessment, for these larger single family homesites. Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan states, <br />"The County's water system shall be expanded to supply the potable water needs of the eastern half of the <br />County during the period 1986-2005."(Exhibit 11) The attached map displays the area to benefit from the <br />assessment project. (Exhibit 2). The project will generally serve the following described areas: <br />A15UBDIV,ISION' , - � <br />rR.. <br />!, F <br />�, S <br />' HOME_4CA;IO <br />7 Place SW, 7 Lane SW and 3 Court SW, west <br />of Old Dixie, 7`h Lane SW to a Ave SW <br />Dixie Gardens 58 <br />55 <br />50 <br />Dixie Heights 640 <br />526 <br />329 <br />1 P Lane SW to 17 St SW & 2" Ave SW to 5 <br />5 'SUDDIViSIO :,Q3, <br />3, <br />i(IID ' ONES q LOCA ION <br />Piney Oaks <br />6 <br />6 2 West of 4 Ave SW, 16 to 17 St' Avenue SW <br />Non -Platted <br />Parcels <br />19 <br />19 11 Various-thru out project area <br />' AWTotals14r` `7'...23`? 6,06 392 , <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />approve the attached Resolutions I and II and set the public hearing date. <br />LIST OF EXHIBITS: <br />la -AGENDA ITEM -BCC 2-21-95 7-MAP-HOMESITES TO BE EQUALIZED <br />1 b -MINUTES OF 2-22-00 BCC MEETING 8 -LETTER -URGING PROJECT <br />2 -MAP OF PROJECT 9 -LETTER -URGING PROJECT <br />3 -ESTIMATED FY 1999/2000 PROJECT COSTS 10 -LETTER -WATER LINE PRIORITIES <br />4 -SUMMARY ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE 11 -COMP.
