THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS                       Re-consideration of Permit Request for the Coral Springs Christian Academy for the Installation and Construction of a Drainage Outfall into District’s Canal E, just North of Pump Station

            Mr. Mire stated this request for permit is modified to the extent of putting a new parking area at the Coral Springs Christian School site, west of the pump station to fill in Canal E, north of the pump station.

            Mr. Moore stated the engineer’s recommendations are outlined in the letter submitted on April 14, 2005. 

            Mr. Flavin stated this is a right-of-way for drainage, and their engineering firm provided a response which is contained in your package.  This submittal does not contain the culvert requested earlier at the pump station. 

            Mr. Moore stated the original submission had two culverts.  One smaller interconnect, and one major culvert will be submitted separately.  This permit is to fill in the smaller interconnect.

            There have been problems with trees by the church and we request an additional condition be added to the permit conditions.  All trees on our right-of-way are to be removed over the next five years.  This discussion has taken place with the city and the church.  The city has agreed to not cite the church if this condition is met.  The expense of removal will by the church.   

 

On MOTION by Ms. Macomber seconded by Mr. Sobers with all in favor the permit request by the Coral Springs Christian Academy to fill in the small interconnect for the expansion of the parking lot, subject to the conditions outlined in the engineer’s letter of April 14, 2005 and the additional condition of the trees on the District’s right-of-way be removed over the next five years, was approved.

 

            Mr. Mires stated the city has requested a plat waiver because part of the canal is being filled in.  We previously presented the language to your attorney for his review.

            Mr. Moore stated our attorney will review the language to ensure there are no ramifications on behalf of the District.  If the attorney has no objection, authorization for the chairman to sign the plat, is in order.

 

On MOTION by Ms. Macomber seconded by Mr. Sobers with all in favor the president was authorized to sign the plat waiver, subject to attorney review and approval.

 

            Mr. Parks stated since I may be out of town when this takes place, you may want to consider authorizing the vice president these duties if I am not available.

 

On MOTION by Ms. Macomber seconded by Mr. Sobers with all in favor the vice president was authorized to sign the plat waiver, approved above, if the president is unavailable.

 

            Mr. Cranmer stated this plat waiver is basically marrying the titles of the two separate plats together.
