Mr. Cox was trying to get with the water management districts, and utility departments <br />of both Counties to try and understand how this whole system fits. <br />Discussion ensued regarding looking to the Aquifer vs. surface water and the best place <br />to get water for consumption. <br />Commissioner Coward spoke on the road issue connecting to the north. He thought if a <br />Development Order or DRI were to come before St Lucie County they have the authority to <br />approve or disapprove that plan. Also, if they knew that their neighbor to the north disapproves <br />of a mayor road connection to the north through Indian River County they have the ability to <br />modify the plan. He felt they have control over the situation and they should take it very <br />seriously because not only do they have to think about this project but also all the rdads <br />connecting to this project that are going to create an impetus for more urban sprawl in this area. <br />He also believed the surrounding roadways are a critical issue and wanted to stay di$'ectly <br />involved with the Indian River County Commission about their views on that roadway. <br />Chairman Wheeler agreed and appreciated his comments and willingness to work with <br />us. <br />Public Comments <br />Frank DeSena, President of Spanish Lakes Fairways Homeowners Association, off <br />Indrio Road, felt there would be tremendous impact on his community. He believed this is <br />"another huge development that we do not need" and was concerned about water restrictions in <br />his community and the use of 3.83 million gallons of water per day by the new development. He <br />was also concerned about traffic impact, depletion of the Aquifer, and who would oversee and <br />protect his community's interests. <br />February 19, 2007 13 <br />Joint Workshop/St. Lucie <br />
