MAY 18 193 ��� . �� <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. <br />Bert Newton, of 654 S.W. 5th Place, raised questions <br />about the park area set aside for Dixie Gardens, the sewage <br />lines through his property and how the proposed subdivision <br />will impact his sewage disposal, and also expressed concern <br />about additional traffic on Oslo Road. <br />Mr. Challacombe reported that the plat of Dixie Gardens <br />does show a designated park area of about two acres, but <br />apparently this has never been deeded or dedicated to the <br />county. He further stated that, according to staff <br />analysis, Oslo Road does have sufficient carrying capacity <br />to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic, and if <br />there should be a problem, they would then consider <br />signalization but feel it is premature at this time. <br />Administrator Wright assured Mr. Newton that his sewage <br />service would not be disrupted and he would not have to put <br />in a septic tank. It was noted that all these concerns will <br />be addressed at the time of site plan approval. <br />Discussion continued regarding the park site, and <br />Attorney Johnston stated that this park was never dedicated <br />to the county and it is a fee simple ownership of his client <br />at this time. <br />Attorney Brandenburg confirmed that there has to be <br />both a dedication and an acceptance of the park site by the <br />county, which apparently never has been done. <br />Dean Donovan, of 713 5th St. S.W., claimed that the <br />park in question was promised to the people of Beachwood <br />Estates when they purchased their property. He believed <br />that Beachwood Estates, formerly known as Dixie Gardens, was <br />purchased from Dixie Gardens, and now has reverted back to <br />Dixie Gardens. Mr. Donovan stated that the park is within <br />the area of the proposed rezoning. <br />
