Petition Mrs. Ethel L. Redditt, Keller Road, · presented a petition signed by property Keller Road owners requesting that Keller Road be cleaned of trash, garbage, high trees
and grass, and graded and kept 'in good condition. Mrs. Redditt stated that she
gave a 30 foot right of way across her 60 acres for this road back in 1947, and
that Commissioner Talton had promised that if he was elected that ·he would pave
this road. Three school buses travel this road every day. Its in awful·shape
and dangerous fbr traveL Their deeds call for the road to be graded and kept in
good condition, and that is all they are asking. She also complained of the draina~ e
problem -- water can't get off the road. Trash is being dumped on the right of
way, including garbage and an old refrigerator, etc. Also sewage is going into '
•I Lake Shadow and creating a definite health hazard for children swimming in the
lake. She stated that she had developed a throat condition from the smoke frol?
the Maitland Dump, and a neighbor had also developed the sarre condition from
this awful smoke. Also, some boys are using the Dump as a hang-out and
causing trouble in their area.
Vice- Chairman Surguine told Mrs. Redditt that Commissioner Talton was out
of town, but the petition and the information would be passed on to him upon his
return.

property on Lake Bryan and they object to the dredging that is being done in the

I Meeting September 20, 1965 Page 276
swampy land located on the east side of the lake. This area has the only drain,
which is a natural one from said lake. The dredge operator said it would take thr e
months to fill the area, which is approximately 900 feet long, 300 feet wide, and
3 feet deep.
Mrs. G. E. Croxton also appeared in objection to the proposed dredging, stating
they do not want the lake messed up.
Commissioner Cooper told Mrs. Spence and Mrs. Croxton that they did give
permits for three people to dredge, but they claimed they had approval of from
80o/o to 90% of the property owners. He stated that he would have the Assistant
Engineer go out today and investigate the situation, and to stop the dredging if
necessary.
A motion was made by Commissioner Cooper, seconded by Commissioner
Freeman, and unanimously carried, that the County Engineer be instructed to
make a survey of Lake Bryan in preparation for a Lake Level hearing on said lake
Resolution - Water Advisory Committee Chairman Andrew Bergstrom appeared before the Water Bond Issue Board stating that the Committee deems the information is now complete as to the
works to be done under the November 2nd Bond Issue, · and they recommend that
the County pass the Resolution. Other members present were Vice-Chairman
Mrs. Ralph Miller and Mr. Tom Denmark.
Mr. Jake Braswell, 714 Palmer Street, stated that it was his understanding that
funds can not be diverted from one project to another until all works have been
completed in a Basin. This was confirmed by the County Attorney. Mr. Braswel
then asked if the County would be getting back any of the six million they will be
spending in Seminole County, that he did not feel we owe Seminole County six
million to be a good neighbor.
Vice-Chairman Surguine stated that he doubted that Orange County would be able
to get any of it back. However, an agreement will be worked out that will be
operational. Mr. Don B. Platt, Supervisor, Orange Soil and Water . Conservation District, stated that he would have a statement to make later in the day, that he had been unable to contact his group. Mr. Denmark stated they met with this group on Wednesday, and did not know of another meeting.
Upon motion by Commissioner Evans, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, and
unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following resolution:
