JUL 3 01980 <br />k BOOK 44 ?AtE 1.-42 <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT THERE IS ROUGHLY A LITTLE <br />OVER TWO ACRES IN THIS PIECE, WHICH POSSIBLY COULD BE MADE INTO TWO <br />LOTS SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. HE POINTED OUT THAT THE ACTUAL SITE OF <br />THE HOUSE MIGHT BE IMPORTANT SO THAT IT WOULDN'T PRECLUDE DIVISION <br />OF THE PROPERTY AT A LATER DATE. <br />ATTORNEY CIANFRONE STATED THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THIS INTO <br />CONSIDERATION AND IN THE LEASE, THEY WILL ALLOW THE COUNTY TO RETAIN <br />ALL POWERS OF REVERSION. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND <br />CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. <br />PRD—pos_ED TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PLAN FOR 6TH AVENUE AND U.S. HIGHWAY I <br />THE BOARD REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING MEMO FROM PLANNING DIRECTOR <br />REVER: <br />July 24, 1980 <br />MEMO <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: David M. Rever, Planning and Zoning Director Ac <br />j SUBJECT: Alternative to 6th Avenue Intersection with U.S.#1 <br />As instructed by the Board, the Attorney, Administrator and myself have <br />discussed the alternatives for correcting the hazardous situation created <br />by the present connection of the south end of 6th Avenue with U.S.#1. <br />First, it was agreed that the present intersection should be abandoned as <br />soon as possible. In order to accommodate traffic for now and in the <br />future, two alternatives were considered. These options included creation <br />of a right-of-way for a 6th Street or an 8th Street to connect 6th Avenue <br />with U.S.#1 at right angles and with proper signalization. <br />After some discussion, it was agreed that the 8th Street altgrnative appears <br />to be the most workable. While it involves a longer stretch of right-of-way <br />acquisition, its location with regard to providing a continuing access to <br />the west of U.S.#1 is a big plus. It should also be noted that this would <br />be a logical eastward extension of the 8th Street as a major collector with <br />a 100 foot right-of-way as proposed in the Transportation Element of the <br />Comprehensive Plan. In addition, long range planning could anticipate a <br />southerly extension of Indian River Blvd. which could connect with an east- <br />ward continuation of 8th Street to provide an alternate to U.S.#1 and other <br />east -west connections in a major developed area. <br />With this analysis it is recommended that the County proceed to: <br />1) Acquire the additional 85' X 800' right-of-way between U.S.#1 <br />and 6th Avenue to compliment the existing 15' for a new con- <br />necting road. <br />47 <br />
