<br /> <br />Frank Coffey, <br />1200 Admirals Way, questioned the impact of downsizing by Vero <br />rd <br />Millworks, Inc., moving the Supervisor of Elections onto 43 Avenue, the development of Dodger <br />rd <br />Pines and the future development of the golf course on 43 Avenue. <br />Administrator Baird did not feel concurrency could be met for those projects <br />mentioned by Mr. Coffey if they proceed with the three-lane project. <br /> <br />Director Keating explained that since the May 17Special meeting staff has been <br />operating under the assumption that the five-lane project was no longer committed. <br /> <br />nd <br />Tony Basso, <br />4352 2 Square SW, suggested looking at property values now and if <br />they decline he felt the property owners could be compensated at the end of the project if they proceed <br />th <br />with 5-lanes. He suggested 58Avenue through Indrio be made a major truck route and questioned if <br />ththnd <br />this was considered. He also recommended paving 8 Street or 12 Street all the way to 82 Avenue <br />to offer an alternative route to the west. <br />Director Davis responded staff has already implemented most of his suggestions. He <br />th <br />said there are multiple opportunities to divert traffic. Kings Highway (58Avenue) is probably the <br />best, however, the traffic is diverting there now. <br />Director Keating said they are currently working with St Lucie County on our new <br />long-range transportation plan. <br /> <br />ndth <br />Sherrie Verhoeven, <br />4340 2 Square SW, agreed with Mr. Basso regarding 12 Street. <br />rd <br />She complained how difficult it is to make a left turn onto 43 Avenue without a turn lane. She felt the <br />lack of consistent information and confusion between staff and the Board was a big problem. She <br />wanted to know when they would stop wasting time. She had several questions regarding why the <br />rd <br />speed limit was changed on 43 Avenue and why staff did not have a design for the intersection <br />rd <br />improvements when it was up for approval. She asked the Board to three-lane 43 Avenue and amend <br />the Comp Plan to preserve the safety and uniqueness of Indian River County. <br />Administrator Baird said the speed limit was changed to 35 mph when they closed Oslo <br />rd <br />Road and 43Avenue due to construction. <br />JUNE 1, 2004 <br />29 <br /> <br />
