fi <br />• <br />AA - <br />Sept 1990. <br />Final Study showing plan and cross-section <br />views of canals approved 1993 <br />Grant Funding of $685,000 received 2001 <br />Meetings of VLEPOA held 8/13/01, 9/17/01, <br />and 11/19/01 attended by Public Works <br />Director James Davis to show plans of <br />project, give overview, and ask questions. <br />Project bids received in December, 2001 <br />Jan. 17 and 29, 2002- meetings held with <br />property owners during construction <br />2/19/2002 <br />• <br />MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN <br />ENGINEERING REPORT <br />FOR <br />VERO LAKE ESTATES SUBDIVISION <br />Prepared for <br />The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County <br />and <br />The Vero Lake Estates Area Municipal <br />Service Taxing Unit Advisory Committee <br />Prepared by <br />KimleyHorn and Associates, Inc. <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />November 1992 <br />2/19/2002 <br />5 <br />Director Davis explained that he had attended numerous meetings to explain the <br />project. The $60,000 annual income from the MSTU was used for road paving and the 86' <br />Street and 80" Street canals were identified as being needed as far back as 1988. The <br />groundwater table in Vero Lake Estates is very high. There are some actions which could <br />be taken to alleviate the impact of the canals, such as extending some culverts which would <br />add about $75 per foot to construction costs. The driveways into the north -south streets can <br />also be culverted. He met with the property owners on January 29" in an effort to find ways <br />to reduce the impact but it would be very difficult to move the canal to 85" Street as this <br />would change the hydraulics of the whole system. Vero Lake Estates has grown rapidly <br />since the master planning began in the 1980s and the subdivision now has 800 to 900 <br />homes. The County does the best it can to maintain the ditches but it is very difficult to <br />maintain some of the older ditches because of their vertical slopes. The new ditches are <br />being designed so that they will be much easier to maintain. Most of the MSTU revenue has <br />been spent on road paving and very little has been devoted to the stormwater management. <br />Education of the residents will be undertaken by the County Extension Agent who is <br />currently organizing that and will announce meetings very shortly. <br />FEBRUARY 19, 2002 <br />-39- <br />AAAX <br />
