i engineer that we would have to treat this as we would any other marl road in Vero Lake Estate. The Board continued to discuss obtaining the full right-of-way and addressing this problem in the most practical way to get a minimal road. Engineer Davis stated that we should at least have a 20' road with drainage swales on each side, and it should have a shoulder. The advisability of requiring roads paved to standards arose, and it was pointed out there is potentially 70 miles of road in this particular area, and accepting roads on a marl basis could create a problem in the future. Attorney Clem commented that while the County may not have any legal responsibility, that subdivision has been on the records for years and years; people have bought out there believing there are usable roads; they want to build on their property; and this will have to be addressed. Discussion followed as to the possibility of having a municipal service taxing district in this area to get a potential 70 miles of roads off the taxpayers' backs. It was pointed out that a district could be set up, but it could not be funded until the next budget year. On Motion made by Commissioner Fletcher, seconded by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously agreed to accept maintenance of 104th Avenue between 89th St. and 92nd St. contingent upon the owners providing an additional 40' of right-of-way on the west side of the road and bringing the road up to marl standards as defined by the County Engineer.
