". Further discussion by the City Commission on a proposal to accept

Road Homeowners Association.
Mr. Fellows reminded the Commission that at the last meeting they asked
him to get a sketch together to show what was occurring out there. He
stated Andy May of Gee and Jenson prepared the sketch which showed two
alternate locations for relocating the pump station at a later date as
development continues to move forward out in the area. Mr. Fellows
continued to say it appeared as if the wet well was going to be used
until a future date. The City then would consider enlarging the wet
well and building a new pump station. He stated the pump
station was at capacity by serving the Bluffs, Oceanside, Pelican Dunes,
Sea Gardens, Seminole Reach, and the Towers project. When Tiffany by
the Sea came in, the City would be negotiating with them to enlarge
the pump station and transfer the Sea Gardens into the new station.
The City could accept the proposal and the $10,000 from Oceanside and
Sea Gardens, along with whatever money Tiffany by the Sea can come up
with, and develop a pump station that would serve the City for build out
in the area. Tiffany by the Sea cannot develop unless they put in an
adequate pump station. Commission Gulliford stated that before the City
locked itself in, they want to be assured the City would have some kind
of easement to build the new station without any restriction. Mr. Fellows
added the City would pay the utilities for Seminole Reach. There being
no objections from the Commission, the City Manager will continue
negotiations on the proposal.
