Public Works Director Jim Davis explained the problem with putting a cul-de-sac <br />th <br />on 50 Avenue is that a 50-foot diameter area is needed and he does not think the road can <br />accommodate it. He stated staff would have to communicate with four or five property owners at <br />the south end of the road to provide enough right-of-way to get a vehicular cul-de-sac turn <br />around so that a garbage truck or an emergency vehicle could turn around at the end of the road. <br />He disclosed that the property owners at the end of the road where the right-of-way is needed are <br />not willing to give up their front yard for the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Mr. Wadsworth <br /> specified the turn around space is available. He revealed that the <br />only reason the property owners at the end of the road would not sign the petition is because they <br />would like to see the cul-de-sac moved behind their property, which would leave the amount <br />needed for a vehicular turn around area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wheeler remarked that he sympathizes with the neighborhood but <br />th <br />he is not in favor of placing a cul-de-sac on 50 Avenue because it does not serve the public to <br />rdthth <br />cul-de-sac public streets. He added that in the future as 43 Avenue, 58 Avenue, and 26 <br />th <br />Avenue are developed and improved that would alleviate some of the traffic problems on 50 <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis voiced his agreement with Commissioner Wheeler and that <br />th <br />he also would not be in favor of placing a cul-de-sac on 50 Avenue but would be in favor of <br />bringing the road up to standard. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis to direct <br />County Administrator Joseph Baird to look into the <br />concerns addressing the road quality including drainage <br />and traffic calming, SECONDED by Vice Chairman <br />Neuberger for discussion. <br />September 6, 2005 32 <br /> <br />
