                                    TIME CERTAIN – 11:00 A.M.

1.         Staff requests Board direction: as to the handling of additional stakeholder suggestions on what should be done to evaluate the impacts of mining within the Everglades Agriculture Area (EAA).  SUMMARY:  On September 11, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)             accepted the study entitled “Permitting Process Regarding Mining Impacts within the EAA” and approved having staff implement the improvements listed in the Conclusions section of the study.  Implementation of those improvements would provide for improved regulation and intergovernmental coordination during the review process dealing with mining in the EAA.  After the September 11, 2007 presentation of the results, there was concern expressed by some stakeholders    that the permitting process was inadequate to address some of the issues dealing with the impacts within the EAA as a result of mining activities.  Based on those comments, the BCC directed staff to seek additional input.  Input from the stakeholders contained some suggestions that may be able to be accomplished through the current permitting review process.  Other suggestions are beyond the scope of the current permitting review process and would require substantial study effort. Those additional comments that were received are presented today.  Countywide/District 6  (MJ)

C.                WATER UTILITIES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve a Declaration of Easement;

 

B) approve a First Amendment to a Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement with High Point on Congress, LLC; and

 

C) grant a Temporary Construction Easement to High Point on Congress, LLC.

 

SUMMARY:  On February 15, 2007, High Point on Congress, LLC (High Point) entered into a Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (Agreement) (R07-0787) for the reservation of potable water and wastewater capacities for their High Point on Congress project (Project).  The Project is located on the east side of Congress Avenue and just south of Summit Boulevard in West Palm Beach.  Subsequent review of engineering plans indicated that High Point would need to abandon the existing wastewater lift station and install a new public lift station, gravity sewer mains, and related work on County-owned property (PCN 00-43-44-05-20-001-0000) adjoining the Project.  With this First Amendment, the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (Department) has agreed to reimburse High Point $280,000 for the required construction associated with removal of the existing lift station and replacement with larger facilities.  Under the First Amendment terms, High Point agrees to release the County from any claims related to the abandonment of the existing lift station, the installation of a new public lift station and gravity sewer mains and related work. Board approval of the Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) will allow High Point to complete the lift station work necessary on the County-owned site. Board approval of the Declaration of Easement (DOE) will provide for public notice of the existence of the lift station, gravity sewer mains, and related facilities on County-owned property.  District 3  (MJ)
