Letter from the
President
Issues of Concern
to Port St. John Residents
Tico
Airport and its’ future plans. We will continue to monitor all airport
activity and advise you of any community concerns. Port St. John has a new appointee
to the Tico airport board. His name is Russ Alarie. A resident of PSJ, Mr.
Alarie works at KSC, is a pilot, and with his extensive knowledge of aircraft and airports
is eminently qualified for the position on the board. Recently the president of the
Homeowners’ Association and I met with Mr. Alarie. I welcome Mr. Alarie’s
appointment and applaud him for taking the time and having the interest to step up and
volunteer to serve his community.
Future Sewer
issues. Residents along Ranch road’s north and south side and residents
along Kings Highway are protected by Florida State Statutes against annexation and forced
sewer service from Titusville. These residents cannot be annexed without a vote, they have
not asked for sewer service from Titusville, they have not signed a service agreement with
Titusville, and Titusville cannot compel them to do so. Should the City of Titusville send
these residents an agreement to sign, I would advise against signing it unless you want
Titusville sewer service.
The sewer services
provided to Cypress Woods residents were put in place by property owners and the developer
of Cypress Woods by means of an inter-local agreement between the developer and the City
of Cocoa and City of Titusville. Cypress Woods residents have a deed restriction
that binds them to City of Titusville sewer services by virtue of the developer/City of
Titusville/City of Cocoa inter-local agreement.
I will be talking
to county officials about future expansion of PSJ’s existing sewer system and will
keep PSJ residents apprised of any developments through Civic League meetings and on the
Civic League website, PSJ Civic League
Roads,
sidewalks, bridges, green ways, bike paths, horse trails, skateboard, roller blade,
and roller skate areas are all in our future plans and will be addressed by the Civic
League when they become issues.
Community
Swimming Pool Complex. A committee has been formed to determine if a community
pool complex can become a reality and if so, how, where, when, and how much. The
committee consists of citizen volunteers, North Parks and Recreation county personnel, and
Space Coast Jr. Sr. high personnel. The complex will have multiple functions
consisting of:
1.
Olympic diving and swimming area
2.
A standard sized pool
3.
A children’s area
Public input and
direction to this committee is encouraged. The next pool committee meeting will be
the first Tuesday of February, 2/4/03. All pool committee meetings will be the first
Tuesday of every month, 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the PSJ community center.
The next Civic
League meeting will be February 18 at the PSJ community center, 7:00 P.M. till 9:00
P.M. All residents and working people of the greater Port St. John area are
encouraged to attend.
