THE BOARD: WHAT THE DIRECT EFFECT THE DRAINAGE IN THIS PROJECT WOULD HAVE ON COUNTRY CLUB POINTE; THE EFFECT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD IF THE EXTENSION WOULD GO THROUGH; THE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY THAT WOULD SERVE AS A RETENTION POND; AND THE ROUTE THE TRUCKS WOULD USE TO BRING IN THE FILL TO THE SITE OF THE PROPOSED ROAD. SHE STATED THAT SHE WOULD LIKE THE COUNTY TO EXTEND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY PORTION 35, AND THAT THE SECTION OF BRIDGING THAT WAS PROMISED FOR SEVERAL YEARS OVER VOSSINBURY CREEK BE PUT BACK INTO THE PLAN, MR. GHIOTO REVIEWED HER MATTERS WITH A LENGTHY EXPLANATION AND HE FELT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY, FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, TO HAVE A BRIDGE AT THAT POINT. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT CULVERTS AND POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA. ATTORNEY CIANFRONE STATED THAT THE COUNTY COULD NOT DENY ACCESS TO THE ROAD ONCE IT WAS CONSTRUCTED, ALTHOUGH THE PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK STATED THAT NO MATTER IF THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE 25, 50, OR IDG YEAR STORM, THE FLOODING CONDITIONS IN COUNTRY CLUB POINTE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WORSE WITH THIS PROPOSED PROJECT. MR. GHIOTO AFFIRMED THIS STATEMENT. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT THE COST OF ENGINEERING SERVICES, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OVER THE YEARS, APPROXIMATELY $200,000 HAS BEEN SPENT ON THIS PORTION OF THE PROJECT. DR. JERE J. FITTS, PEDIATRICIAN, DISCUSSED THE AMBULANCE CALLS AND HE FELT THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR WAS WHEN THE AMBULANCE REACHED THE HOME AND CARE WAS GIVEN TO THE PATIENT. HE ADDED THAT BY OPENING UP THE BOULEVARD, THIS WOULD CAUSE DEVELOPMENT IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA - HE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS AREA PRIMITIVE AND IN ITS NATURAL STATE. DR. FITTS-CONTINUED THAT ONCE A ROAD WAS PUT THROUGH THIS AREA, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY WAY TO STOP DEVELOPMENT. SEP 14 ig8i 5 Box 4 7 -ME 424 J
