JAN 9199® BOOK 42pgE 506 COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT SIXTH AVENUE IS ONE OF OUR PROBLEMS AND HAS BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM, BUT NOTED THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PIECES OF PROPERTY IN THIS COUNTY THAT CAN'T BE DEVELOPED FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. SHE CONTINUED THAT THIS PROBLEM MUST BE PUT IN LINE WITH OTHER PRIORITIES, AND IF THE DEVELOPERS WISH TO GO ON WITH THEIR PROJECT RIGHT NOW, THEN SHE FELT IT IS THEIR RESPONSI- BILITY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS DISCUSSED THE DANGERS OF THE INTER- SECTION AND FELT THE ONLY PRACTICAL SOLUTION IS TO HAVE A DIFFERENT ANGLE INTO U. S. 1. HE PERSONALLY FELT THE INTERSECTION SHOULD BE CLOSED COMPLETELY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT THIS INTERSECTION HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ON MANY OCCASIONS, AND HE PERSONALLY FELT IF WE CREATE A goo ANGLE SOMEWHERE, IT WON'T BE RIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE NOTHING BUT A PROBLEM TO HAVE THE PACKING COMPANY ON ONE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND A SHOPPING CENTER ON THE OTHER, ATTORNEY BLOCK COMMENTED THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THERE HAS BEEN CONFUSION AND LACK OF GOOD COMMUNICATION BECAUSE IF SOMEONE HAD LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE BOARD'S DISCUSSIONS AND FEELING THAT THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO TAKE THIS PROCESS TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY STAND. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THIS IS AN APPEAL FROM A SITE PLAN DISAPPROVAL AND ASKED IF ATTORNEY BLOCK HAD PRESENTED ALL HIS EVIDENCE. MR. BLOCK STATED THAT HE HAD. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER WODTKE, INDICATING THAT THE COUNTY IN ITS PRIORITIES IS NOT IN A POSITION AT THIS TIME TO PROVIDE A CHANGE IN THE SIXTH AVENUE/ U. S. I INTERSECTION, BUT WOULD ENTERTAIN A PROPOSAL FROM THE DEVELOPER FOR A CHANGE IN THAT INTERSECTION AS A MEANS OF OBTAINING FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF THE SITE PLAN. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT WHAT THE BOARD IS GETTING AT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE HEARING UNTIL THE APPLICANT CAN COME BACK WITH AN ALTERNATIVE.
