THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Heron Bay Recreation Amenity Plat

Mr. McKune stated we have reviewed the plat and recommend that the Board acknowledge acceptance of the drainage from the land contained within the plat limits. The proposed plat area includes an existing North Springs main drainage conveyance canal terminating in the south tip of the proposed Parcel A. Provisions should be made for this existing canal to be extended to the westernmost line of the plat where it can cross the road, Parcel R-1, of Heron Bay Central by means of a culvert connection. The entire canal right of way area then would be dedicated to the District. This canal will become significant with respect to flood protection as the northeast portion of the District is developed. Its importance is based on creating an efficient route for drainage to the pump stations which would otherwise become restricted to an east-west connection not sized for the planned development area. I have talked with representatives of WCI and they are agreeable to this condition.

On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia seconded by Mr. Lauritzen with all in favor the Heron Bay Recreation Amenity Plat was approved.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Request to Construct a Fence within a District Drainage Easement on Lot 7, Ridgeview Crossing Replat

Mr. McKune stated the drainage easement is not adjacent to a canal but is an easement dedicated to the District for a canal that was not constructed. Mr. Grossman owns the property and the District has a drainage easement over it. There are other encroachments in this easement. We recommend approval subject to certain conditions which are outlined in our letter to the Board.

Ms. Archer stated if we don't need the easement should we consider abandoning it?

Mr. McKune responded not until the commercial parcel to the north is developed and we know it will not be needed.

Mr. Lyles stated if a fence is to be constructed in this easement area it should be a chain link fence that will not impede the flow of water within the easement area. Also the language in the permit should state that if the District for any reason needs the fence to be removed, that it be removed at the expense of the owner of the property and not the District.

Mr. McKune responded we will put those conditions in a revised letter and provide it to the District

On MOTION by Mr. Mendolia seconded by Mr. Lauritzen with all in favor the request to construct a fence within the drainage easement on Lot 7, Ridgeview Crossing Replat was approved subject to the conditions outlined above.

The proposed Agreement is scheduled to be voted upon by the City Commission at its next meeting on January 9, 2002.
