approval, the Board would be requiring certain improvements <br />before granting approval of the project, and this actually <br />is more or less a remedial situation. <br />Colonel Jacobs, resident of Pebble Bay for 12 years, <br />did not feel residents of Pebble Bay should be paying to <br />repair SR AlA since the damage to the road was not caused by <br />traffic from Pebble Bay but by the cement trucks and other <br />type trucks continually going by. He did agree that three <br />lanes would be a nice safety factor, but felt that simply <br />reducing the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph would solve <br />the problem. Colonel Jacobs stated that he made this <br />request ten years ago but no action was ever taken. <br />Administrator Wright pointed out that the assessment is <br />not for the resurfacing; it is for the turning lane only. <br />Also the speed limit on a main highway is under the <br />jurisdiction of the DOT. <br />Mr. Aberle emphasized that the residents did not <br />petition for this improvement, and he believed the ordinance <br />calls for it. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that it is not required, <br />and _Chairman Scurlock explained that this is a County <br />initiated project which was recommended by the Transporta- <br />tion Planning .Committee . <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that he really believed that <br />what we are trying to do is a real improvement for the <br />people <br />who live there, and <br />it is <br />hard for him to understand <br />that it <br />isn't worth $100 to <br />them <br />to have the turning lane. <br />Mr. Aberle and other residents emphasized that it isn't <br />the money they are objecting to. <br />35 <br />:..... .... <br />BOi1K �6 PAG��B�ddJ <br />
