Clerk Wells gave some background on thei issue that the subdivision created (Vistas of Astatula) is not within the required distance from a fire hydrant and even if they were to pay for 600 feet of pipe to be laid and a hydrant connected estimated at $25,000 to $30,000, the flow would fall well: shortofthe: 1,000 gallons per minute that is required by the Land Development Regulations. The LDR's also require the developer to pay to have the utility upgraded to produce the level of flow required. He added that he had talked to the Fire Marshall, Attorney and the Engineers to Councilman Mack said that it was a substantial burden to put on this small developer. His recommendation is to issue a variance, not waive the hydrant requirement but to extend the distance from the hydrant and require him to put a sprinkler system inside the mobile homes. There was considerable discussion about various ways that the variance could be written to enable him tol build or place the two mobile homes and to sell the remaining lots. It was left for the Clerk to talk with the planner to come up with a solution that would work for the developer and be acceptable to the Town. This may be ai requirement to install a quick response sprinkler system in thel home as has been approved in other parts oft the town wheret there are no hydrants.  try to figure out a solution.

LETTER FROMDEO - VICE-MAYOR MACK Councilman Mack stated that the DEO has approved the release of funds for the project. Jay Grollman from Bessolo had reached out to the contractor to request tal rebate for the panels being removed on the sides ofthel building where split face block was beinginstalled as al bid alternate. The contractor came back with a credit value but said that he had missed an element for the lighting required for $17k for the parking lot and wanted to offset that against the credit. This had been passed to Fred Fox who stated that DEO would not approve it as written. Councilman Mack's recommendation was to accept the reduction for the sides but that the contractor would have to eat the $17k as it was his error and not the Towns. He also recommended not accepting the additional saving presented by the contractor to change the style of panels on the rear of the building. Mayor Natale concurred and said that the contractor  should stand before the board and make his case.
