THAT THE D,O,T, WILL CONSTRUCT ITS 2. ON THE EAST CAUSEWAY SECTION THERE ARE TRANSMISSION POLES ABOUT 14 FEET DEEP AND WE HAVE PUT IN TWO 16" MAINS, WE KNEW THERE WAS POOR SUBSOIL AND IT APPEARS THAT THE D.O.T. NOW CONCURS WITH THAT SOIL EVALUATION. IN TALKING WITH THE D.O.T. IT WAS STATED THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION TO ONLY REMOVE THE POOR SUB -SOIL FROM.CURB TO CURB AND NOT FROM RIGHT- OF-WAY LINE TO RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE. IF WE GET APPROVAL TO GO CURB TO CURB ONLY AND THERE IS NO DISTURBANCE OF THOSE 16" LINES, WHICH WERE DELIBERATELY PLACED OUTSIDE OF THE CURB LINE, THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL EXPENSE. IF THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION SAYS "NO - WE WANT THE ENTIRE 100 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY EXCAVATED" THEN THERE COULD BE CON- SIDERABLE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE IN SHORING THE TWO 16" MAINS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT QUESTIONED IF THIS AREA BEING DISCUSSED IS BETWEEN INDIAN RIVER BLVD. AND THE INDIAN RIVER AND MR. LITTLE ANSWERED THAT IT WAS NOT. THE AREA HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IS THE EAST CAUSEWAY SECTION FROM THE EAST BANK OF THE INDIAN RIVER TO S.R. AIA. . CHAIRMAN SIEBERT EXPLAINED THAT RELOCATION COSTS WERE DISCUSSED FOR BOTH U.S. 1 AND 17TH STREET WITH THE POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY EXISTING THAT THERE MIGHT BE ADDITIONAL COSTS AT CAUSEWAY BLVD. THERE WERE SOME COSTS BETWEEN U.S.I AND INDIAN RIVER BLVD. WHICH WERE SOMEWHAT MINOR, BUT THE COUNTY'S PARTICIPATION IS RESTRICTED TO CONSIDERATION OF ONLY THAT AREA EAST OF INDIAN RIVER BLVD. AND WEST OF THE WEST BANK OF THE INDIAN RIVER - SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR NO OTH R PURPOSE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT CONTINUED THAT THERE ARE THREE PURPOSES TO USE SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS. WE HAVE AN OPINION.FROM JAY HENDRICKSON, ATTORNEY FOR THE D.O.T. SAYING THAT SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS COULD BE USED FOR RELOCATION OF UTILITIES ONLY IN THAT PORTION FROM INDIAN RIVER BLVD. EAST TO THE WEST BANK OF THE INDIAN RIVER. IN ADDITION, WE'COULD AGREE TO GO AHEAD AND PAY SOMETHING FOR THE LAND IF THE RELOCATION COSTS THEMSELVES DO NOT GO UP TO $390,000.00. THAT IS THE QUESTION THE COUNTY HAS TO ADDRESS ITSELF TO. THE D.O.T. HAS ASKED US TO TAKE MORE FORMAL ACTION THAN THE COPY OF THE i COUNTY'S MINUTES. THEY HAVE ASKED THAT THE CITY ALSO CONCUR IN THIS FORMAL ACTION AND THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING TODAY. WE HAVE PREPARED A i RESOLUTION WHICH WE FEEL WILL BE SATISFACTORY TO THE COUNTY AND TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH. -2- OCT 5 1916 ass
