DeBlois, AICP <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: March 30, 2002 <br />RE: Board Authorization for John's Island Water Management, Inc. to Continue <br />Using a Well Located in the Old Winter Beach Road Right -of -Way <br />It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners formally consider the following inforntation at the <br />Board's meeting of April 9, 2002. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Last July, staff reported to the Board that John's Island Water Management, Jnc. (JIW1.1), a subsidiary of the <br />John's Island Property Owner's Association (POA), has an irrigation well located in the right-of-way of Old <br />Winter Beach Road south of Jungle Trail (see Attachment 1). In 1990, the Town of Indian River Shores <br />granted JIWM a "non -potable water franchise" to use the well (see Attachment 3). In turn, the St. Johns River <br />Water Management District (SJRWMD) issued a consumptive use permit to JIWM in 1990, authorizing JIWM <br />to use the well. <br />Last year, the SJRWMD, in learning that the well is located in County right-of-way, requested that the County <br />formally authorize JIWM to continue its use of the well. At the Boards July 3, 2001 meeting, staff <br />recommended that the Board approve JIWM's continued use of the well. However. the Board withheld its <br />decision on whether or not to allow the well pending more information as to JIWM's opportunity to use, as <br />an alternative, reclaimed "gray" water from the City of Vero Beach (see 7 3/01 Board meeting minutes, <br />Attachment 2). <br />Staff has obtained more information on JIWM's opportunity to use altemati-,e reclaimed water and is now <br />reporting back to the Board for further consideration of the matter. <br />April 9, 2002 <br />12 <br />
