JUL 3 01080 stox 44 PAGE 144 CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED WHY NOT JUST BARRICADE THE INTER- SECTION AND LET IT GO AT THAT, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS ALSO FELT WE SHOULD CLOSE THE 6TH AVENUE INTERSECTION RATHER THAN ABANDON IT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT WE MIGHT NEED THAT RIGHT—OF—WAY FOR WATER AND SEWER LINES OR OTHER THINGS. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER COMMENTED THAT ABANDONMENT COULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT KEEPING UTILITY EASEMENTS. COMMISSIONER LOY DISCUSSED POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPERS IN THIS AREA AND ASKED WHETHER WE DON'T REQUIRE CERTAIN RIGHT—OF—WAY OF DEVELOPERS NOW. MR. REVER AGREED, BUT NOTED THAT THERE IS NOTHING PROPOSED THERE AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT HE IS SAYING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO SIGNIFY THAT THIS IS WHERE THE ROAD IS GOING TO BE AND LET THE DEVELOPERS BE AWARE OF IT. COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM FROM 6TH AVENUE TO U.S. I AND WANT TO DO AWAY WITH A SAFETY HAZARD, AND FELT WE CAN ESTABLISH ALL KINDS OF POLICIES, BUT SHE DID NOT WANT TO PURCHASE ALL KINDS OF RIGHTS—OF—WAY. SHE STATED THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE US GO AHEAD WITH 8TH STREET FROM U.S. I TO 6TH AVENUE SOMEHOW. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED HOW WE ARRANGE TO GET THAT RIGHT- OF-WAY AND HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT. COMMISSIONER LOY-FELT THIS QUALIFIED FOR FUNDS THAT ARE BEING HELD FOR US IN TALLAHASSEE. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER LOY TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO OBTAIN AN ADDITIONAL 85' OF RIGHT—OF—WAY TO ADD TO THE PRESENT 15' OF RIGHT—OF—WAY BETWEEN 6TH AVENUE AND U.S. I AT 8TH STREET. COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE, BUT HE WISHED TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE IN THE TRUST FUND BECAUSE WE NEED THIS FOR INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD, AND HE DID NOT WANT TO INTERFERE WITH THAT PRIORITY. COMMISSIONER LOY STATED THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE TRUST FUND AT THIS MOMENT TO HANDLE ALL OF INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD,
