Public Works Director Christopher Mora provided description and conditions on the <br />Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT's) request for the County to maintain the <br />landscaping along SR60 west of the I-95 Interchange and west of 82nd Avenue. He revealed that <br />in response to the County's request, the FDOT has redesigned the area to include low <br />maintenance trees and turf, with generous areas of stamped concrete. <br />Chairman Davis expressed his preference to have the landscaping include more live oaks <br />than sable palms. He also wanted Director Mora to check the requirements of the Corridor Plan <br />and to explore with the FDOT, the possibility of using Bahia grass, which does well in dry <br />conditions. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher and Director Mora briefly discussed the irrigation system. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan pointed out that there is some attractive turf by Ace Hardware on <br />Oslo Road which might provide a good landscaping option. <br />Director Mora assured Commissioners that there was time to discuss these matters with <br />the FDOT. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED <br />by Chairman Davis, the Board unanimously approved <br />Resolution 2009-167, authorizing the execution of <br />District Four Landscape Maintenance Memorandum of <br />Agreement for SR60 from just west of I-95 Interchange to <br />just west of 82nd Avenue (MP 22.389 to MP 23.923), FM <br /># 228628-1-52-01. <br />AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />36 <br />November 3, 2009 <br />
