Hall, Attorney Greenberg-Traurig (VOTAPKA.HEA)sb QCT 2 '' 1993 JJ ------------- Attached, for your information, is a copy of the minutes of the Board of County Commissioners' approval of the request for 70 ERUs of wastewater plant capacity for the Sebastian Lakes development subject to the payment of the wastewater impact fees. Please advise if further information is needed for this project. Since ely, C::7_; Harry. Ashe� Assistlnt Director of Utility Services HEA:sb cc: Barbara A. Hall, Attorney Greenberg-Traurig (VOTAPKA.HEA)sb Chairman Bird indicated he had been watching this building, which is located near Castaway Cove, for several years. It was used as a sales office and is now used as a construction office. He recently noticed that it was up on blocks and it appeared that it might be movable. He asked the developers if they might be willing to donate it to the County, and was pleased when they agreed to do so. The building is approximately 14 x 27 feet, is in excellent condition and has a restroom in it. Chairman Bird suggested that we send a letter thanking the developers if we decide to accept the building. ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously accepted the donation of the building and appropriated $4,250 from General Fund Contingencies for the cost of relocating the building to South County Park, as recommended by staff. REQUEST OF CITY OF SEBASTIAN FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT CAPACITY - SEBASTIAN LAKES DEVELOPMENT The Board reviewed the following memo dated August 16, 1993: DATE: AUGUST 16, 1993 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRAT FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILIT SERVICES PREPARED AND STAFFED HARRY E. ASHER _/ BY: ASSISTANT DIRE OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: CITY OF SEBASTIAN'S REQUEST FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT CAPACITY FOR SEBASTIAN LAKES DEVELOPMENT On May 1, 1993, the City of Sebastian became the provider of utility service within the City of Sebastian (City) as agreed by Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) between the City and Indian River County (County). The City said with the Agreement that it would be providing its own capacity --both water and wastewater -- and the County removed the City of Sebastian from its master plan. Before taking this action, the County asked the City three times if they were sure of their decision. 27 ANALYSIS Under the Agreement, the County provides wastewater treatment for the City to be billed under the County bulk rate agreed to in the Agreement. The County, at the request of the City, provides no water service. The City has requested, by the attached letter, "County Commission approval for 70 ERUs of wastewater capacity in the North Indian River County Wastewater Treatment Plant to be purchased for the Sebastian Lakes development. This request is understood to be only for the assurance that Sebastian Lakes will receive County permission to allow connection to the County's wastewater system in the future. It is further understood that there will be no guarantee that the 70 ERUs will be reserved at the plant for Sebastian Lakes until such time as the impact fees are paid in full to Indian River County." county policy is to reserve and commit capacity only upon receipt of payment of impact fees. The Department would agree to the request for 70 ERUs of capacity for Sebastian Lakes upon payment of the required impact fees. Because the County revised its master plan, removing the City from its water and wastewater service area at the City's request, the Department would request that before additional capacity is committed, the City analyze its total requirements for capacity that it cannot serve and submit a request for those requirements. The request would require a revision of the Utility Master Plan and the City would be required to pay for the revision. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Utility Services recommends commitment of the 70 ERUs of requested capacity upon payment of impact fees and, if the City has decided that they cannot provide capacity as first indicated and requests the County toprovide the capacity, the County must revise its Utility Master Plan to include the City capacity at the City's expense. Utility Services Director Terry Pinto advised that the City of Sebastian previously asked to be eliminated from the Utilities Master Plan. }ie probably would have recommended against providing service to Sebastian Lakes, but this particular project was in existence when the original Utilities Master Plan was developed, and we can accommodate them without any major changes to the system. Therefore, Director Pinto recommended approving the allotment of 70 ERUs of capacity. He added that up to 400 units, including the commercial area, could be connected eventually. The County will bill the City of Sebastian, which will then bill the individual customers.
