'Z'he problern of the GS foot atrix� of land providing access to � ell
; g'ield No. 1 bexng locate3 on the east side af the I)iVasta r�roperty
: instea�l of on the �est eide came to light durin� our desagn dfs the
proposed water treatment plant that was to �e constructed at �Vell
Field I�To. 4. At that time we were designing a water main from
ti�rell Field No. 1 to �r ell �`ield rTo. 4 an� we learned that the
existing water main, wt�ich was probably installed between 1955
�.rxd 1960, was l�cated in �rivate praperty, .
� �t the present tixne, anci ta the best of oux knowledge, there is
no ather lega2 right-of-way for access to V�'ell �'ield N�. 1 other
than the 25 .foot strip on the east side of the 1�iVosta property. The
problem is further corntaaunded as tl�e CT. �,. i�iail trucke are using
the area where the water main is installed for access to the rear
= of the F�ost CJffice.
IE was our feeling that when the deed wa� v�rritten for the 25 foot
strip that a clericaZ error occurred in locating it on the east sicle
? of the property, The property descriptian for � ell F'ield No. 1
'_ started from the western right-of-way line of U. S. Highway No. 1,
.� if my memory serves ane correctly, and there has been two irriprave-
. ments ta U. S. Hig�tirvay No. 1�ince t1�e eiescription was written
which makes the location of the property boundarie� a bit diffi , .�,

* It zs �ossible that there hae been utilities such as Florida Power &
� .L,aght and Southern Bell have been installed in the east L5 foot strip.
It vvould appear to me that a survey showing the lacation of any
_ buried or above ground utiliti�s in that area should be made. In
� view of the fact that a public body is invalved I wonder if an easement
� far the pineline and in�ress and egress to 4��e11 Field No. 1 is adequate
- �.nd feel tha� an actual property transfer should be made.
As I understand it �he present building code requires a 10 foat setbac�c
' from a taroo�rty line on the side. L7nder this condition we could live
with a 15-fooE wide strip on the west aide af the T�iVosta ;�roperty if
that striq was owned b� tiie �7illage. If a 20-foot easement was obtained
` a building could be Alaced at the edge of the easement. which I under-
stand would be the building wall, and if the building overhang did not
exceed 4 or 5 feet there would be no difficulty in maintaining the 10-
xnch exietin� watier main.
� roxn an engineering ?�oix�t of view it would be clesirable to exchange
one "L5-foot strin for anQther. As a second choice ownerahin could
be obtained �f a 20-foot stri� for the 25 and as a last resort a minimun
of 1 S-foot strin for the 25. 'I'he 15-foot strip wauld not provide
ac�ee�uate room for two-way traffic and if the Village,at some future
f:iane desired to sell that piece of praperty at ��ell Field No. i, the
��le mi�ht be difficult to consummate.
Very tr�zl.y yc�urs,
