The City Attorney asked if the developer would maintain title of the project or sell to private ownership and what kind of time frame had been given to the project. Mr. Hancock stated as a preliminary feeling the FEC would sell the lots and the first order of business would be the engineering and planning for the proposed City to put right-of-way roads between Park Avenue and 10th Street on the South. Development of the lots and spur lines and other surface roads would follow at a later date. The first year would be getting the plans approved, getting the main road way and getting water and sewer. Mr. Nolan reminded Mr. Hancock there was a year time limitation for development or they would have to come before the Board again. Mr. Hancock said by March 23, 1982 the FEC will have initiated some construction. Mr. Corbett mentioned a similar project had been completed in Riviera Beach. The City Attorney questioned the City Engineer regarding the DER requirements concerning the water. Mr. Partyka said the moratorium in effect could affect the project since there is a limited supply of water available. Mr. Henderson stated that the present condition of the water depends on the cooperation with the FEC concerning the wells to get the project underway. He said the City needs a small amount of land for the proposed well site. Mr. Hancock stated that the FEC is part of the community and will remain so, therefore he feels they will be receptive to the City's needs as- it applies to their needs and other developments. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the road access and the extension of Mango Tree Drive. At the present time the crossover is at Flagler Avenue. Mr. Concannon said there was a problem with Block 3 and the FEC did not own this parcel. Walter Gross and John Gross had additional statements concerning the project.
