• BACKGROUND On November 6, 2001, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved staff's recommendation -Option B (to provide water service for the entire subdivision) and authorized staff to proceed with the engineering design 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 ATTACHMENT'S 1- Plat map, 2—Schedule of Properties/Summary Assessment, 3 -Estimated Project Cost & Preliminary Assessment Roll and 4 -Potable water & Sanitary Sewer Sub -elements.). ANALYSIS Originally there were 66 platted residential lots, which were to benefit from this proposed water main installation. Since November 6, 2001 when the Board of County Commissioners authorized proceeding with the design, owners on 80th ave proceeded with an earlier plan that they had and have now extended the water main on 80thave to 144th Street. This water main extension will serve 7 properties and reduces the number of residential properties requiring service and to be included in the assessment to 59 The original petition together with addendums was supported with signatures of the owners of 21 properties, which represented 32 % of the original 66 residential lots (Of the remaining 59 lots to be served, 16 had signed the original petition which represents 27 %). During design of this primarily residential project staff has determined that a non -platted 3.69 acre medically zoned parcel and a 7 unit medical condominium at the southeast corner of the project, should also be served from the water main installations along 79d' Avenue and 142nd Way and have included these parcels in this proposed assessment. The majority of the single family lots in this subdivision, are 0.27 & 0.28 acre and are ' undersized," according to Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan and the County Public Health Umt, Division of Environmental Health, which require that new lots utilizing well and septic systems be a minimum of one-half acre Lots not meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots." Indian River County's Comprehensive Plitt states, "The County's water system shall be expanded to supply the potable water needs of the eastern half of the County through 2010." (See ATTACHMENT 14, page 2 of the Potable Water Sub -element, and page 23 of the Sanitary Sewer Sub -element). The attached map (ATTACHMENT -1) displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. 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. Attached are Resolutions I and II for the assessment project. The total estimated project cost, and amount to be assessed, including engineering, administration and construction is $ 236,891.57 The estimated cost per square foot is $ 0.241948 (rounded) (See ATTACHMENT- 3 Estimated Project Cost & Preliminary Assessment Roll).
