<br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED <br />by Chairman Neuberger to approve staff’s recommendation as <br />stated in the memorandum of June 13, 2006. <br /> <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Davis desired a 4-lane rather than a 6-lane highway and to <br />spend some of the money on alternative routes. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained the width of the median and the need to accommodate <br />additional turn-lanes so as not to compromise safety. <br />Discussion ensued on whether the road would be safer with 6-lanes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis wanted to know the cost difference of “culverting” that portion of the <br />thth <br />Lateral ‘A’ Canal versus buying those residences on the west side of the road of 66 Avenue south of 77 <br />Avenue. <br />Capital Projects Manager Terry Rauth advised that the consultants are looking at culverting that <br />section and they have met with Indian River Farms Water Control District in that regard. <br />Discussion ensued on whether to buy the houses or provide culverts. <br />Project Engineer Janet Dunlap informed the Board that they were in receipt of “comment cards” <br />from residents on that specific point. She will provide a copy of the cards to Commissioner Davis, per his <br />request. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion <br />carried unanimously approving Option 1, to design the following <br />th <br />sections of 66 Avenue with the listed alternative right-of-way <br />widths: <br />th <br />Between SR 60 and 37 St Alt 3 (134’ ROW) <br />th <br />Between 37 St and 45 St Alt 1 (156’ ROW) <br />thrd <br />Between 45 St and 53 St Alt 2 (142’ ROW) <br />rdth <br />Between 53 St and 77 St Alt 1 (156’ ROW) <br />June 20, 2006 <br />27 <br /> <br />
