9.B.I. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM — STEVE LINO REGARDING <br />PETITION FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE WEST OF WILLOW <br />(FELLSMERE) <br />Steve Lino, 14090 85th Street, Fellsmere, requested to have the County grade 5 <br />roads west of Willow Street: 79th Street, 81" Street, 83rd Street, 851h Street, and 87th Street. He <br />explained the reasons he felt they should be graded. <br />Discussion ensued on the location of the property, why impact fees could not be <br />used to grade the roads, and when the roads were platted. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis gave a history of the Board's decisions regarding <br />this policy. He suggested that the property owners work with the County by donating rights-of- <br />way and pay to get the road up to standard. Director. Davis pointed out the purchaser gets the <br />property at a lower price when bought with substandard roads. <br />Discussion ensued regarding an agreement with the Fellsmere Farms Water <br />Control District from 1978. Some residents of the subject properties do not want a grader on <br />their property. <br />Commissioner Davis stated he would prefer to meet with the residents from the <br />subject roads and take this matter one step at a time. <br />Leroy Kelly, who is building a house next to Mr. Lino's, presented a memo <br />regarding an agreement from 1979. He stated the dollar amount of how much the taxes have <br />increased. He requested that the person doing the grading across the road also grade the subject <br />roads. Mr. Kelly felt grading some roads in the area and not all the roads was unfair. <br />There was CONSENSUS that Commissioner Davis would <br />meet with the residents west of Willow Road to workout a <br />solution for road grading. <br />January 03, 2006 16 <br />
