JUL 211982�� 50 F,; 602. TEMPORARY CLOSING OF 14TH AVENUE The Board discussed the following memorandum from Public Works Director Davis: Board of County Commissioners THRU: Dr. C.B. Hardi4nistrator . PhD Acting County • July 12, 1982 SUBJECT: Temporary Closing of 14th Avenue FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. , REFERENCES: Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS In response to a request from Perry M. Pisani, the closing of 14th Avenue betieeen SW 1st Street and lst Place from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Saturday, July 31, 1982 was investigated. The following conditions will be involved with the requested road closure: 1. Alternate routes for traffic detoured from 14th Avenue at the requested segment closure are available; 2. It is assumed that 14th Avenue will remain open to property owners abutting the closed road area; and 3. The number of drivers inconvenienced by the detour will be relatively small due to the character of this local road. ALTERNATIVES The Board of County Commission may approve or deny the request to tempo- rarily close 14th Avenue. RECON YUMATION It is recommended that the request be approved due to the three (3) aforementioned favorable conditions. However, since this request will establish a precedent for future roadway closure requests, the following procedure is recommended to minimize the expend- iture of County funds and to eliminate the need for overtime compensation of the sign crew: 1. Neighborhood representative to sign -out, pick-up (prior to 3:30 PM July 30, 1982) and return (prior to 12 noon August 2, 1982) borrowed Type II barricades and accessory signs fromthe Traffic Engineering Sign shop necessary to establish a proper roadway closing. 2. The Traffic Engineer, or his designate, will visit the site at the time of roadway closure to ensure proper operation.
