dramatically reduce up-front costs for providing water and sewer services to new developments in western Miramar The proposal examined at the Wednesday night workshop differed from an initial assessment program that would have forced developers to pay all at once for an entire web of water and sewer lines a water plant and a well-field network that would extend into an area between Interstate 75 Douglas Road Pembroke Road and the county line But developers balked at having to pay for the entire system up front They said they be using the water and sewer system until they began to build which might be years later In response commissioners agreed that they would rather have developers pay for only part of that program under the assessment and pay for the rest of the network as developments are built According to the revised program developers will now be assessed for part of the planned water plant a storage tank a wellfield network and the connection to the existing water system rather than the entire web of pipes Developers will fill in the sys tem as they build The new program should cost developers about $10 million up front as opposed to initial estimates that exceeded $17 million said Tony Nolan the consulting engineer developers are going to pay for everything just a question of Nolan said Developers and commissioners alike heralded the agreement as an example of how government and business can work together want to commend our developer residents and the staff for working together This is how we should do things in this Commissioner Dan Lewis said think a tremendous step said Harry Rosen a former mayor who now is a development attorney Commissioners first considered an assessment program in May as an alternative to an urban services line

the line would have skyrocketed and land beyond the line would have become impossible to Stolen exhaust fumes prove fatal to man in warehouse A 35-year-old man working on a stolen truck died jf carbon
