APPROVAL OF RAILROAD CROSSING AT STRATTON BLVD. IN SEBASTIAN <br />Sebastian Mayor Pat Flood addressed the Board and <br />explained that a couple of years ago, they had brought this <br />matter before the Board and the Board had requested they <br />come back when they were ready to go. <br />Mayor Flood reported they have a public hearing <br />scheduled for August 22 & 23 with the Florida East Coast <br />Railroad Administrative Board and what is needed now is a <br />Resolution supporting the railroad crossing at Stratton <br />Boulevard and U.S. #1. He pointed out that the extension is <br />part of the County thoroughfare plan and that the new <br />elementary school is located at the end of the area. The <br />School Board has given them a Resolution for the extension. <br />He felt that if this crossing was not approved, traffic <br />would be increased on S.R. 510, and the County would have to <br />enlarge that road sooner than they had planned. He also <br />pointed out that the DOT is willing to give them the permit. <br />Mayor Flood explained that Stratton Blvd. comes out on <br />U.S. #1 right on Duck Pointe, about 50-100 yards north of <br />Durrance Road. <br />Commissioner Lyons questioned what the Transportation <br />Committee was going to say about this, and Commissioner <br />Scurlock explained that Mayor Flood and the city engineers <br />had appeared before the Transportation Committee a number of <br />times on this particular issue and the Committee determined <br />that it made sense to place the crossing at this particular <br />location. <br />Mayor Flood assured the Board that the railroad <br />crossing would not cost the County one dime, not even for <br />maintenance. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously <br />approved Resolution 83-51 supporting the rail- <br />road crossing at Stratton Blvd. and U.S. #1 in <br />54 rare. 25 <br />Sebastian. <br />JUL 2 0 1983 3 <br />
