ANN ROBINSON, REPRESENTATIVE OF COUNTRY CLUB POINTE, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND EXPRESSED APPRECIATION TO THE CONSULTANTS OF REYNOLDS, SMITH & HILLS. SHE,REFERRED TO THE PERMIT APPLICATION WHICH SHOWS THAT THE PROPOSED ROAD ENDS IN THE MARSH AT THE CITY LIMITS, AND INQUIRED IF THE $1,133 CUBIC YARDS OF FILL WOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE SITE FROM BARBER AVENUE. CHAIRMAN LYONS RESPONDED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW THE -ANSWER AS THE PERMIT APPLICATION WAS BEING HANDLED BY REYNOLDS, SMITH & HILLS. ANN ROBINSON COMMENTED THAT ALL SHE WAS LOOKING FOR WAS SOME ASSURANCE THAT THIS FILL WOULD COME FROM BARBER AVENUE AND NOT FROM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. MR. GHIOTO EXPLAINED THAT BARBER AVENUE EXTENSION IS PART OF THE PROJECT AND IT WILL BE EXTENDED FROM THE EASTERLY END OF BARBER AVENUE. HE SUSPECTED THAT THE TRUCKS WOULD COME IN THAT WAY AND THAT IT CAN BE MADE A CONDITION ON THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. WILLIAM CALDWELL APPROACHED THE BOARD AND COMMENTED THAT HE OWNED PROPERTY ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD AND WAS CONCERNED WITH WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE CULVERTS. HE REFERRED TO A PORTION OF THE ENGINEER'S PRESENTATION CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL OF INCREASED DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. MR. CALDWELL SUGGESTED AS PART OF THE CULVERT THEY COULD CONSTRUCT A WEIR APPROXIMATELY 3' HIGH ON THE WESTERN END OF THE BOX CULVERT, AND THAT THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT IS NOW A NATURAL DRAIN BETWEEN COUNTRY CLUB POINTE AND THE PROPOSED ROAD AND HAVE THE WATER FLOW THE WAY IT HAS BEEN FLOWING. HE ADDED THAT THERE IS A 3' DIKE IN THERE NOW,,BUT IF A 5' CULVERT IN PUT IN PLUS THE ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE FROM THE ROAD ITSELF, AND HAVE ALL THAT DRAINAGE GOING ON THE EAST SIDE, HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEMS THAT HE EXPERIENCES THERE NOW WILL BE COMPOUNDED. MR. CALDWELL STATED THAT IF THE WEIR IS SOMETHING THAT IS PRACTICAL AND NOT TOO EXPENSIVE, HE WOULD HOPE THAT THE BOARD COULD SO INSTRUCT THE ENGINEERS. w.
