Summary Explanation and Background:
The subject property is located in Section 28, Township 24 South, Range 35 East, on the north side of State Road 524 in Cocoa.
The Utility Services Department’s West Cocoa wastewater collection and transmission system, including lift stations, force mains, and gravity mains, are aging infrastructures that require rehabilitation and/or replacement. Several of the existing lift stations were originally privately-owned, but are now owned and maintained by the Brevard County Utility Services Department. Many of these lift stations are not in compliance with current Brevard County wastewater design standards since they were initially constructed and maintained as private facilities. There are several easements and proposed property acquisitions that are required to optimize the performance of the overall improvements to the West Cocoa wastewater collection system. The Jacob Aaron Corporation parcel has been identified as an area needed temporarily to support directional drilling in connection with Force Main W20. The owner has agreed to the request for this temporary easement.
The User Department is in agreeance with this request.
This acquisition follows the policies and procedures as set forth in Administrative Order 37.
