SUMMARY STATEMENT
Along with the proposed development of Grate's Landing at the comer of Palmetto and Louisiana
Avenues, are proposed extensions of water and sewer necessary to service the site. In order to provide
water, the County is proposing to nm a waterline adjacent to Louisiana Avenue from Fellesmere Road to
Main Slxeet. The cost of this water line is to be shared proportionately by abutting property owners along
Louisiana Avenue.
Indian River County Utilities has asked for a representative from the City to be present at an assessment
hearing to be held Tuesday, February 4, 1997, by the Board of County Commissioners. In order that the
City Council be properly represented on this ~, a resolution has been prepared, which if adopted
could be presented to the County Commissioners.
The proposed water line installation is in keeping with the lnterlocal Agreement between the City and
Council which was entered into as a result of the utilities transfer between the City and County along with
Ordinance No. 95-25 which authorizes the County to use assessments within the incorporated areas of the
City for utility projects.
While this project is not within the Highlands water line phases, it is within the incorporated area as
contemplated under the Interlocal Agreement and Ordinance 95-25. The assessment rate of $.1079 per
square foot is less than any other assessment undertaken (Indian River Drive Water Assessment - $.1136
per square foot & Highlands Phase [ - $. 149 per square foo0.
The availability of a wa~r line will increase public safety through in~ fire protection and through the
availability of a potable water supply ~stem in areas with septic tanks. And finally it furthers the
objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan for Housing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt the resolution and authorize the City Manager to appear on behalf of the City Council at the County
Commission meeting on February 4, 1997.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
Along with the proposed development of Grate's Landing at the comer of Palmetto and Louisiana
Avenues, are proposed extensions of water and sewer necessary to service the site. In order to provide
water, the County is proposing to run a waterline adjacent to Louisiana Avenue from Fellesmere Road to
Main. Street. The cost of this water line is to be shared proportionately by abutting property owners along
Louisiana Avenue.
Indian River County Utilities has asked for a rep~sentative from the City to be present at an assessment
hearing to be held Tuesday, February 4, 1.997, by the Board of County Commissioners. In order that the
City Council be properly represented on this matter, a resolution has been prepared, which if adopted
could be presented to the County Commissioners.
The proposed water line installation is in keeping with the Interlocai Agreement between the City and
Council which was entered into as a result of the utilities transfer between the City and County along with
Ordinance No. 95-25 which authorizes the County to use assessments within the incorporated areas of the
City for utility projects.
While this project is not within the Highlands water line phases, it is within the incorporated area as
contemplated under the Interlocal Agreement and Ordinance 95-25. The assessment rate of $.1079 per
square foot is less than any other assessment undertaken (Indian River Drive Water Assessment- $.136
per square foot & Highlands Phase I - $. 1.49 per square foot).
The availability of a water line will increase public safety through in~ fire protection and through the
availability of a potable water supply system in areas with septic tanks. And finally it furthers the
objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan for Housing.
