JUL 3 01980 mox 44 mcE x.50 MR. REVER FELT THIS WOULD MEAN THAT THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE TWO BRIDGES AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE, AND MR. MARSH STATED THAT HE WANTED TO BE IN THE POSITION IN THE FUTURE TO TRADE OFF RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND POSSIBLY MOVE THE CANAL. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT FEEL IT WOULD BE A SIMPLE THING TO MOVE A CANAL. MR. MARSH COMMENTED THAT WE HAVE MANY SUBDIVISIONS THROUGH- OUT THE COUNTY WHERE THERE IS NOT ANY CONNECTION, AND BASED ON THE MURPHY ACT, THE SECTION LINES AND CANAL RIGHTS-OF-WAY APPEAR IN THEIR ESTIMATION TO BE THE MOST REASONABLE WAY OF OBTAINING ADEQUATE RIGHT- OF-WAY FOR THE FUTURE. COMMISSIONER LYONS INQUIRED ABOUT THE COST OF BUILDING THE BRIDGE. THE ADMINISTRATOR FELT IT COULD AMOUNT TO $50,000460,000 DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF BRIDGE, AND THE DEVELOPER STATED THAT HE GOT A BID OF $58,000. ADMINISTRATOR .KENNINGS COMMENTED THAT THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT HAS 60' OF RIGHT-OF-WAY, AND WHEN YOU SAY YOU ARE GETTING 50' FROM THE DEVELOPER, YOU REALLY ARE GETTING ONLY 20' BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT OWNS 30' OF IT. HE FELT THAT THE PLANNERS DO HAVE A POINT IN THAT IN THE FUTURE YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CANAL AND GET AN ADDITIONAL 50' IF YOU ARE GOING TO DOUBLE LANE THAT ROAD. THE ADMINISTRATOR NOTED THAT THE BRIDGE THE DEVELOPER WISHES TO PUT IN TO ENTER THE CENTER OF HIS SUBDIVISION IS A SORT OF ORNAMENTAL BRIDGE TO MAKE AN ATTRACTIVE ENTRANCE. IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN APPROVED LOADING, BUT WOULD BE A PRIVATE BRIDGE AND THE COUNTY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS UPKEEP OR MAINTENANCE. HE AGREED WITH THE PLANNER THAT SOMEDAY KELLEY ROAD WILL HAVE A BRIDGE, AND IF THAT IS GOING TO BE A MAIN ARTERY, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY ON EACH SIDE OF THE CANAL. HE POINTED OUT THAT YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE TOTAL LENGTH OF KELLEY ROAD. MR. REVER STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THAT IF THEY PUT IN THE BRIDGE, THEY WILL DO AWAY WITH ACCESS INTO GROVENOR ESTATES. 55
