CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE IS TOTALLY CONFUSED BECAUSE <br />IN A LOT OF SUBDIVISIONS WE HAVE ENCOURAGED NO THROUGH STREETS, AND <br />NOW WE ARE SAYING YOU HAVE TO HAVE THROUGH STREETS. HE HAD FELT THAT <br />ONE OF THE ATTRACTIVE THINGS ABOUT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY WAS THAT YOU <br />COULD HAVE PRIVATE SUBDIVISIONS WITHOUT THROUGH STREETS. <br />DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO WHICH TRACTS SHOULD BE DEDICATED <br />AND WHICH PAVED, AND VARIOUS ALTERNATIVES FOR ACCESS. <br />CHAIRMAN SIEBERT EMPHASIZED THAT WE STATED IN NO WAY WOULD <br />WE EVER ACCEPT AN INTERCONNECTION OF MITCHELL ESTATES TO THE ADJACENT <br />SUBDIVISION, BUT IN THIS CASE WE ARE REQUIRING IT. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THIS SITUATION IS <br />DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE SURROUNDING CANALS, AND HE BELIEVED THEY ARE <br />CREATING A SITUATION THAT COULD COME BACK TO HAUNT US IF THERE SHOULD <br />BE A BRIDGE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF GETTING <br />IN OR OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION. <br />CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COULD SEE REQUIRING THE DEDICATION ON <br />39TH AVENUE, BUT ASKED WHY THE DEVELOPER SHOULD HAVE THE LIABILITY <br />OF PAVING IT WHEN THEY DON `T USE IT. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED IT IS BECAUSE THEY JUST HAPPEN TO <br />BE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEVELOPING NEXT DOOR, AND THE CHAIRMAN AGAIN <br />NOTED THAT WE HAVE MANY IN TOWN WHERE WE HAVE NOT REQUIRED THAT. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE <br />OTHER PROPERTY WAS PLATTED AND SUBDIVIDED BEFORE THIS, BUT THE <br />DEVELOPER MADE THE CHOICE TO PUT THE BACK OF HIS PROPERTY AGAINST <br />THE FACE OF THE OTHER, AND HE DID NOT SEE HOW THE OTHER PEOPLE CAN <br />BE RESPONSIBLE TO BUILD THE WHOLE ROAD. <br />MR. RANSON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE REASON THE SUBDIVISION <br />IS LAID OUT THIS WAY IS THAT THEY WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT HAVE ALL <br />THEIR PEOPLE COME THROUGH GROVENOR ESTATES. <br />PLANNER MARSH EXPLAINED THAT HIS STAFF TOLD THEM THEY DID <br />NOT FEEL IT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO RELY SOLELY ON LOCAL STREETS <br />THROUGH AN EXISTING SUBDIVISION. HE NOTED THE SUBDIVISION COULD HAVE <br />BEEN DESIGNED WITH ANOTHER ROW OF LOTS FRONTING ON 39TH. HE WENT ON <br />57 <br />AUG 131980 <br />Boa- 44 -ma . <br />
