• RACKGROITNT) On November 6, 2001, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners unanimously authorized staff to proceed with the design engineering 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 ATTACFLMEN'T'S 1- Plat map, 2- Summary Assessment/ Schedule of Properties and 3 -Estimated project Cost and Preluniniary Assessment Roll). AN \T,YSTS There are 10 platted residential lots, which may benefit from this proposed water line on 36th Court Lots 4 & 5 at the North End of the subdivision were provided service and previously assessed in the Phase II water assessment project which was completed February 22, 1994. The owner of lot 1 was permitted to connect to the existing water line on 1st Street SW and signed a temporary service agreement, which was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 13, 2000. The owner of lot 8 connected to the water line on 1st St SW on June 15, 1990 without signing an agreement to be included in a future water assessment, and is not included in this proposed assessment project. There are 6 owners signatures on the attached petition & temporary service agreement plus 1 owner who telephoned and stated that he now verbally supports this proposed project; therefore 7 (70%) of the owners of the 10 properties to benefit from this project are supportive. On August 27, 2001 owners of the 4 lots whom had not signed the petition were mailed an addendum and asked to indicate whether they oppose or support the proposed project. None were returned. There were 3 phone calls with one opposing, stating that he did not like the taste of county water Another owner advised that he did not oppose the installation of water lines but that it was not a high priority! And the 3rd owner stating that he no longer opposes the proposed project. The property sizes typically vary from .50 (1/2) acre to 1.0 (1) acre. The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. ( see ATTACHMENT 1- Plat Map). This project is to be paid through the assessment of 10 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 $ 45,003.50. The estimated assessment cost per square foot is $ 0.157039 (rounded) (see ATTACHMENT 3 ). RECOMMEND ATTON The staff of the Department of Utility Seryices recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached resolutions, which approve the preliminary assessment roll and establish the public hearing date.
