advised the growers of their plans . One of the citrus growers has agreed and a site is being <br /> negotiated . She indicated the location of the site on a map . The Department of Agriculture <br /> has looked at it on February 27`' and encouraged them to file an application which has to be <br /> at the department by April 25 `h . They are moving along in that process . They were advised <br /> and were able to secure an architect and a project manager who have assisted . They have <br /> also done a market analysis which they will have in the next few days . The department also <br /> suggested the city and county officials be engaged . They do not wish to divide and conquer, <br /> but to understand the city ' s and county ' s requirements so they can be met . They have met <br /> with Mayor Tyson and John Little of the City of Fellsmere . Ms . Leet gave this to the county <br /> 2 weeks ago so the Commissioners could look it over and she would have an opportunity to <br /> respond to any of their questions . They have also met with the Sheriff to understand their <br /> requirements . She felt they had done most of their homework . The reason they were before <br /> the Board is the Department requires public access to the project . Currently there is a <br /> privately owned , paved road on Willow Street . Public Works Director James W . Davis was <br /> very helpful in advising what will be required . She indicated the road on another map and <br /> gave the dimensions . They are in the process of negotiations to deed it to the county if the <br /> County will accept and maintain it . She displayed photographs of homes built in a <br /> development in Indiantown designed by the same architect . Depending on the results of the <br /> market study , they will build 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 bedroom homes . She offered to respond to <br /> questions and also in the audience were Joe Leet and Skip Leet to respond to technical <br /> questions . <br /> Chairman Ginn thought the FCEP had done a remarkable job in a short amount of <br /> time and commented the were right where they were needed . <br /> Ms . Leet remarked on how they had found that people are willing to help and that we <br /> are living in a great community where people are willing to give of their time . <br /> April 17 , 2001 <br /> 42 [� 17 w1 3 0 <br />
