FEB 8 1984 BOOK 56: PAs -1011 Alternatives It is requested that the Board approve the widening of A -1-A in the unincorporated areas and funding alternatives are as follows: 1) County fund 100% cost $25,384.10 unincorporated area and enclave. 2) Create special assessment to each property owner not to exceed $100 per unit as adopted by Indian River Shores-Resolution#233. 3) Assess each of the five parcels on front foot basis. 4) Assess each existing unit and undeveloped land (based on potential Land Use Plan Units) at a cost of $100 per unit. RECOMMENDATION It is requested that Alternative No. 4 be approved, and authorize County Attorney and Public Works Staff to schedule and prepare a Public Hearing on the Special Assessment Program as soon as possible. Note- If Alternative No. 4 is approved, the County cost of the project is projected at: County Park Property absorbed cost per unit above $100 max.cap. Total Cost to County $3806.25 1900.00 $5706.25 Chairman Scurlock believed we are following the same procedure the Town of Indian River Shores used, but Public Works Director Davis explained that although the Town has the $100 maximum cap, it has a multi -facet assessment program which is actually computed on the square footage abutting construction. The County, however, takes the position that all the units along the project will benefit equally from the third lane which will act as a safety lane for all owners to get them out of the flow of traffic, and this is why staff is recommending the $100/unit assessment. It was generally agreed this is more of a safety improvement than a capacity improvement. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Dorothy Aberle, 4576 Pebble Bay South, questioned the legality of assessing owners to improve a state freeway and wished to know whether owners in the area would be assessed if, for instance, SR 60 were to be improved. She felt this assessment would set a precedent. 32 _I
