Tabled from June 18, 2007:

RCG LLC, a real estate development firm with regional offices in Brevard, is considering a new development project, Cadence Point, to be located a short distance from Brevard High School.  In order to extend sewer to the proposed project, they will need to cross property owned by the Board.  Before seeking formal approval for an easement, they are requesting permission to enter the property to undertake a topographic survey.  Should the extension of a sewer line be feasible, they will then make a formal request of the Board.  An aerial map of the proposed crossing and location is attached.  Nick Bayne from RCG LLC will be here to answer any questions you may have.  

 

A motion would be in order to grant permission to perform a topographic survey.
