<br />th <br />Harold Kurzweg <br /> , 4731 9 Place, Glendale Lakes, was opposed to the 5-laning project and <br />emphasized there are 15,835 school children in that area and their safety will be affected. <br /> <br />rd <br />Adriene Cuffe <br /> , 695 43 Avenue, spoke in opposition to the 5-laning and felt the Comp Plan <br />should be changed. <br /> <br />rd <br />Doug Cuffe, <br /> 695 43 Avenue, felt the 5-laning project would diminish the appearance and <br />the property values in the area, as well as attract more traffic. <br /> <br />John Stockten <br /> , 4236 11th Street, believed that 3 lanes would be sufficient. He noted that <br />a realtor had advised him that he would lose 20 to 30% of the value of his home if the 5-laning <br />project were completed. <br /> <br />th <br />Joan Johnson <br /> , 535 SW 39 Court, suggested an annual review of the Comp Plan and <br />creative approaches to problems rather than the 5-laning project. <br /> <br />thrd <br />Bob Johnson <br /> , 535 SW 39 Court, felt 43 Avenue would become a truck route if 5-laned <br />and felt it would be prudent to start moving traffic to the west. He also noted that new development <br />rd <br />in the Oslo Road area will divert traffic away from 43 Avenue. He believed the County could save <br />rd <br />33.6 million dollars by 3-laning 43 Avenue. <br /> <br />st <br />Ron Bair <br /> Deputy , 4055 41 Avenue, Indian River County Sheriff’s Office, representing the <br />rd <br />Sheriff’s office, asked that the Board consider the impact on the 43 Avenue residential area, as well <br />as the safety of the elementary children using that road. He noted that he had counted 94 private <br />rd <br />driveways that access directly onto 43 Avenue and most of the side streets either deadend or have <br />no other outlet in the area. He felt the roadway needs sidewalks, a center-turn lane and proper <br />drainage, but not 5 lanes. <br />MAY 17, 2004 <br />4 <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING <br /> <br />
