they had two primary concerns; one was speed on the roadway. The existing traffic goes fast through there, and they requested some type of control, speed bumps or reduced speed signs. The other concern was the volume of traffic. This road serves as a collector road rather than a local road. The traffic division analysis showed the average speed is 20 miles per hour. The volume is very low and consistent with local road traffic. There was some discussion and explanation regarding staff's definition of local roads and collector roads. Commissioner Adams reminded the Board this issue is on paving. Chairman Macht inquired if this paving will alleviate the flooding that has occurred at 12th Street at the foot of 34th Avenue and 4211d Street. Public Works Director James Davis responded to the Chairman's question explaining that this project should improve the drainage on 34th Avenue, but it will not go beyond that. It is a difficult area to drain and it is more a regional problem than a local problem. Commissioner Ginn wanted to know if it was possible to pay 50% of the cost for building roads without presenting a problem. Director Davis said the funds are needed for expansion and should the Board decide to pay more of the cost on the local roads he feared it will leave less revenue to pay for the collector and arterial roads. Commissioner Adams thought it was significant that they acquired 72% in favor of paving the roads and she felt that was wonderful. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 2003-166, confirming the assessment roll for certain paving and drainage improvements to 34th Avenue from 12th Street to 14th Street in Vero Park Subdivision No. 2 (unrecorded) I.R.C.
