,'I <br />JUL 111984 Box 5 7 FACE 653 <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that Mr. <br />Biamon and residents of Oslo Park Subdivision have submitted <br />a petition for paving 19th Avenue S.W. between 13th St. S.W. <br />and 14th St. S.W. The petition contains the signatures of 7 <br />of the 12 property owners along the 700 L.F. road, which <br />equates to 58%. The petition paving program, however, <br />requires 66.7%. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained the three <br />alternatives to allow the paving of 19th Ave. S.W. between <br />13th St. S.W., and 14th St. S.W. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the <br />Board accept Alternative No. 1 in order'to <br />allow the paving of 19th Ave. S.W. between <br />13th St. S.W. and 14th St. S.W. <br />Under discussion, Administrator Wright thought that <br />this is a situation that is going to appear before the <br />Commission time and time again and he would like to ask the <br />Commission to consider lowering the threshold for petition <br />paving. <br />Chairman Scurlock agreed this will continue to occur <br />because of the large absentee ownership in Florida. He <br />personally felt that 50% plus 1 is a majority, and in most <br />elections that is what wins. He also thought that while it <br />might put pressure on the Commission to commit additional <br />funds each year to the road petition paving program, it <br />would decrease road maintenance costs in the long run. <br />Administrator Wright noted that our petition paving <br />program has been very successful and he believed they have <br />sufficient funds to go another year. <br />Commissioner Wodtke noted that any roads approved now <br />will not be paved for 1-1X2- years, and Administrator Wright <br />45 <br />
