Director Keating responded to questions from the Board regarding continued <br />expenditure on State Road 60, gas prices and gas tax. He continued his presentation proposing <br />that a portion of the 66th Avenue project be removed, and concluded with a summary of staff's <br />proposals and recommendations. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan expressed concerns about 66th Avenue and existing right- <br />of-way issues, and felt they needed to complete that section on 66th Avenue or continue with the <br />right-of-way to give residents some closure, to which Commissioners Wheeler, Davis, and <br />Flescher agreed. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. <br />Ruth Stanbridge, 4835 66th Avenue, had various concerns about the proposed <br />amendment, in particular the segment on 66th Avenue slated for removal. She questioned <br />Attorney Collins, seeking to know the procedure if this amendment is approved to go forward, <br />and whether language in the proposal (page 392) was in conflict with Resolution 2008-139. Ms. <br />Stanbridge urged fairness to all and hoped the Board would consider some of the alternatives. <br />Everette Brown, 43rd Avenue, opposed the amendment; questioned the intent for <br />the 8th to 12th Street segment which was left blank on the map displayed by staff; and argued the <br />County's sudden lack of need for use of his construction easement. <br />Adriene Cuffe, 695 43rd Avenue, had hoped 43rd would be taken off the next 5 - <br />year Plan. She also hoped the Board would consider Mrs. Stanbridge's comments, delay their <br />vote, and review staff's analysis/report to ensure that they reflect continuity. <br />November 4, 2008 25 <br />
