MAY 11991 <br />N .! <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS INQUIRED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN COST OF <br />THE ELLIPTICAL CULVERT AS COMPARED TO THE BOX CULVERT; AND ASKED <br />IF THE ELLIPTICAL CULVERT PROVIDED ANY ADDITIONAL INSURANCE. <br />MR. GHIOTO REPORTED THAT THE 34" X 53" X 84' ELLIPTICAL <br />CULVERT THEY HAVE DESIGNED WOULD COST $7,000; THE BOX CULVERT WOULD <br />BE 9' X 5' AND WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $26,000 - A DIFFERENCE OF <br />$19,000 TO'$20,000. HE CONTINUED THAT IT WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL <br />INSURANCE,'IN TERMS OF PEACE OF MIND, TO THE RESIDENTS. <br />ADMINISTRATOR NELSON ASKED IF GOING TO THE BOX CULVERT <br />INSTEAD OF THE ELLIPTICAL CULVERT AT THIS PARTICULAR STAGE WOULD <br />DELAY THE PROJECT. <br />MR. GHIOTO COMMENTED THAT IT WOULD NOT CAUSE A DELAY AT <br />ALL AND THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME NOW TO DO IT; AND IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY <br />PROVIDE A GREAT DEAL MORE CONFIDENCE TO THE CITIZENS IN THE AREA. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THERE IS A CONCERN IN COUNTRY CLUB <br />POINTE ABOUT THE ROAD ACTING AS A BARRIER AND INQUIRED HOW THE <br />DRAINAGE WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. <br />MR. GHIOTO STATED THEY HAVE PROVIDED SEVERAL OPENINGS THROUGH <br />THE ROAD FOR DRAINAGE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, HE CONTINUED, THERE IS <br />SOME SPOIL MATERIAL THAT WOULD BE IN THE ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT THEY <br />ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE TO ALLOW BETTER DRAINAGE NORTH AND SOUTH ALONG <br />THE ROADWAY, OR JUST TO THE WEST OF THE ROADWAY. MR. GHIOTO STATED <br />THEY FELT VERY GOOD ABOUT PROVIDING ADEQUATE DRAINAGE THROUGH THAT <br />SYSTEM SO IT WILL NOT PERFORM AS A LARGE BARRIER. HE ADDED THAT <br />THERE IS A LARGE SLOUGH TYPE AREA THAT BEGINS JUST SOUTH OF GOLFVIEW <br />DRIVE AND GOES SOUTHWARD DOWN TO THE MAIN CANAL, WHICH ALSO PROVIDES <br />A NATURAL OUTLET UNDER HIGH WATER CONDITIONS. MR. GHIOTO NOTED THERE <br />ARE SOME SECONDARY DRAINAGE PROBLEMS IN THAT SUBDIVISION THAT <br />PROBABLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE JOINT CITY -COUNTY MASTER <br />PLANNING EFFORT, IN TERMS OF PRIMARY DRAINAGE, MR, GHIOTO THOUGHT <br />THEY HAD IT COVERED VERY WELL. HE ADVISED THAT MRS. ROBINSON <br />SUGGESTED PUTTING A RISER AROUND THIS CULVERT ON THE WESTERN SIDE <br />OF THE ROADWAY. MR. GHIOTO COMMENTED THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT <br />COULD BE CONSIDERED AS A POSSIBILITY. <br />
