FEB 1984 B.00x -56 PACE 254 $70,000. Mr. Davis explained that the whole reason for the pipe is to provide an exclusive left turn lane for the west and east approaches of 27th.Avenue which would improve the capacity of the intersection. Since the culvert would serve not only the county roadway, but the DOT and the City, we asked the City if they would like to participate since the watershed area is in the City limits. The City did not elect to participate, and staff, therefore, feels we perhaps should delete this portion of the project until the time when the Drainage District has completed their drainage study. The Drainage District did not endorse the County or the City's study and did their own. Since this is a separate part of the project, staff feels that it can be performed at a later time without impairing the rest of the project. The Drainage District study has been going on about 1h years, and they say it is a three year study. Commissioner Lyons felt when the City is ready to - participate, we should talk about it again. Administrator Wright noted that if the 27th Avenue portion is left out, we would save about $50,000, and Mr. McQueen felt we might save an -additional $40,000 in pipe. Mr. Davis agreed there would be a.substantial saving. Administrator Wright noted that it is staff's recommendation that we do all the paving on the parking lots, and this would wash out at about a $40,000 increase. Chairman Scurlock expressed concern about having proper drainage, and Mr. Davis noted that the drainage at this intersection actually involves 11 culverts upstream and about -five culverts downstream, some of which are in private driveways. Administrator Wright assured the Board that we are not blocking anything. Drainage in that area is a long way from being settled and he did not feel by postponing this, we would-be causing any hardship. 54
