OUT, WE COULD AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATOR TO GO IN AND TAKE THE SPOIL, RESHAPE THE DRAINAGE DITCH, AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY PAVE- MENT SINCE WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE ROADS. HE COM- MENTED THAT THIS WOULD BE DONE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR ENGINEER WOULD LOOK AT THIS TO SEE IF AN OPEN DRAINAGE DITCH WOULD BE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN A CULVERT. JOHN COLLINS FELT IF THAT IS THE BOARDS POSITION, HE WOULD MAKE NO FURTHER STATEMENTS EXCEPT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE REMOVAL OF THE CULVERT IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE OF THE MOTORCYCLE TRAFFIC. HE ASKED IF THERE IS ANYTHING THE RESIDENTS OF COLONIAL TERRACE COULD DO IN THE WAY OF REFORESTATION ON THE COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY TO ACT AS A BLOCK. HE NOTED THEY HAVE A VERY LIMITED BUDGET, BUT POSSIBLY THEY COULD DO SOME REPLANTING. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON FELT THE COUNTY WOULD BE GLAD TO LET THEM USE SOME OF THE SHRUBBERY FROM THE OLD HOSPITAL COMPLEX, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS CONFIRMED HIS OFFER. IN GENERAL DIS- CUSSION, IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT THEY COULD NOT PLANT MALALEUCA TREES, AUSTRALIAN PINES OR PEPPER TREES. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY INSTRUCTED THE DEVELOPER OF MITCHELL SUBT- DIVISION TO REMOVE THE CULVERT AND HIS MATERIALS AT 11TH COURT, AND AGREED THAT UPON REMOVAL, THE COUNTY WILL REINSTALL THE DITCH AND ALSO THE PAVING IN COLONIAL TERRACE; THE RESIDENTS OF COLONIAL TER- RACE ARE TO DO ANY LANDSCAPING; COST OF REMOVAL OF THE CULVERT TO BE BORNE BY THE DEVELOPER AND COST OF THE DITCH AND PAVING TO BE BORNE BY THE COUNTY.
