The Humane Society is, therefore, requesting that the Board reduce the requirements down to a 12 ft. fenced clay road, which will be maintained by the Society.

FIRE DISTRICTS-FIRE DEPARTMENTS/REPORTS
Mr. Chuck Sowers, Fire Coordinator, appeared before the Board to discuss the results of the Insurance Services Office (I.S.0.). He stated that one of the primary goals of the Lake County Fire Department was to upgrade fire service to a point where the County could move the I.S.O. rating from a class 10, as many of the districts had been in the past, to a rating of 9 or lower. He reviewed a map with the Board, showing the various districts in Lake County, and stated how each district was rated. He stated that some of the districts range from 9.9 to 6.9, and anything beyond the 9.9 is directly related to water supply. It was noted that if the district is located within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant, or acceptable water supply, and within a five mile area of a fire station, it received a rating of 7. If located outside of the five mile area, or 1,000 feet of an acceptable water supply, it received a rating of 9.
Considerable discussion occurred regarding these findings, however, no action was taken.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT/FAIRGROUNDS
Mr. Rudy Marchese, Director of Planning, and Mr. George Southworth, Department of Community Affairs Administrator, in Tallahassee, appeared before the Board to discuss the Areawide DRI Project and what impact it might have on the individual property owners.
Mr. Southworth stated that Lake County is one of the first counties in the State of Florida to do an areawide DRI, for a rural type of area, around a transportation node. The area in question encompasses sixteen square miles. He stated that the County will benefit from such a study, however, the private property owners will benefit the most.
Mrs. Cecelia Bonifay, Attorney, representing Lake Land Planning, appeared before the Board and questioned several aspects of the DRI project.
Mr. Marchese stated that he is counting on this project being completed in eighteen (18) months.
Considerable discussion occurred regarding the Areawide DRI Project, however, no action was taken at this time.
