M S Y N Correspondence - continued B. From Louis B. MacDonell re Request for Resolution Granting Street Right-of-Way Through City Property at North End of Bull Airport The Mayor acknowledged receipt of a letter to Mr. Moss from Mr. Louis MacDonell requesting a right of way through City yard property at the north end of Bull Airport. It is the intention of the separate owners of the 2 parcels of land to develop and plat the lands as a Planned Unit Development for patio homes around the perimeter of the Selva Marina Golf Course. They are requesting the right-of-way to connect the street in both of the parcels. Motion: Grant the request by Mr. MacDonell. Cook x Gulliford x Discussion followed before the vote. Commissioner Gulliford expressed the opinion that by virtue of the fact that the Bull family participat- ed in some type of donation of the property in the past, and as this was a reasonable use of the property he felt the request should be granted. Commissioner Cook agreed. The point was brought out that the city prop- erty would be cut in half. Following discussion, Commissioner Gulliford withdrew his motion, and introduced the following motion: Motion: Indicate the fact that the Commission has no objections Cook x to the concept of passing on the right-of-way and creat- Gulliford x ing a street to connect the two parcels of land. Discussion followed before the vote. Commissioner Morris expressed the opinion that the whole matter should be referred to the Sewer Committee with a view towards possibly studying moving the sewer plant to another location in the city. Mr. Moss noted that in the proposed agreement with the other beaches and the joint outfall line we will be required to con- struct a 1.3 million gal. equalization basin which will take up a fair amount of land. If this is constructed on the existing sewer plant site there will be no room to expand for an additional plant should that be required in the future. Commissioner Morris introduced the following substitute motion: Substitute Motion:Refer the matter to the Sewer Committee for further study and come back with a recommendation to the Morris Commission of those findings. Commissioner Morris's substitute motion died for lack of a second. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PAGE THREE V V MINUTES Names of MAY 29, 1984 Commrs.

Item #4 - Proposed Utility Agreement Discussion was held on the proposed utility agreement to provide utility service to : Seminole Shores Phase I (17 units proposed) ; Seminole Shores Phase II (25 units proposed) ; Sea Gardens, The Bluffs Phase I and II, and Pelican Dunes (48 units existing) . Mr. Moss reported that the request for sewer hook-up for Seminole Shores was made by Mr. Mike Aikel on November 28, 1983. Shortly thereafter the City Manager present- ed to the Commission a proposed utility agreement which staff recommend- ed for situations such as this. It was now brought back in draft form. Mayor Howell questioned paragraph 29 of the proposed agreement and aske3 what they meant by "Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the initial term of this agreement shall be 15 years". The City Attorney advised the agreement would be automatically extended unless notice was provided by either party. He also stated that in any contract he wanted some period of time in which it ends. Note for the record: Commissioner Cook was excused from the meeting at 7:40 p.m. Mr. Aikel expressed concern over the fact that he might have a problem with financing with only a fifteen year agreement. Motion: Defer action until the Commission has received some Gulliford x response back from Mr. Aikel as to how his financial firm views the proposed agreement for fifteen years. Commissioner Gulliford's motion died for lack of a second. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Following discussion, Commissioner Gulliford moved for the following: Motion: Approve the agreement subject to review by the City Gulliford x x Attorney, the City Manager, the City Engineer, and with Morris x some contact from the developer who initially requested it.

M S Y N MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Commissioner Gulliford asked for a report on the ditch. The City Manager reported that he had met with Cardinal Industries, the City Attorney, and Engineer on Friday and expressed the opinion that they had a very good productive meeting. They seemed to understand what they need to do on this. As far as he could tell they are in agreement and are on the right course. They will be bringing back some revised plans for presentation to the City Commission. The City Manager advised that in two weeks he will be bringing back again the subject of the State Bond Loan Program. Apparently, the State is going to go ahead and advertise the issue on July 1st and therefore we are going to be required to make a decision as to how much money and how long. He will be bringing back the report at the next meeting and suggested the Commission may want to review the report prepared by the Financial Analyst from July of 1983. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 7:59 p.m. '47..2 (SEAL) 1 1 al t-S.Howell Mayor ATTEST: Adelaide R. Tucker City Clerk
