SEP 19 1984 BOOK 58 PAGE 370 <br />0 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />The Traffic Engineering Department has received FDOT approval <br />of the signalization of the U.S. Highway #1/County Road 510 <br />intersection. It was the recommendation of FDOT, and the <br />unanimous decision of the Transportation Planning Committee, to <br />close the 85th.Street access to the east side of U.S. Highway <br />#1. The closing necessitates a public hearing and the adoption <br />of a resolution similar to that required for the abandonment of <br />County right-of-way. <br />In addition to the customary reviewing agencies, the Volunteer <br />Ambulance Squad, the Sheriff's Department, and the North County <br />Fire District were all contacted regarding the closing. All <br />responses were positive. Staff feels it will be beneficial to <br />close 85th Street in that the elimination of the 5 -leg inter- <br />section will reduce.the number of required signal phases, thus <br />improving the capacity of the U.S. 1/C.R. 510 intersection. <br />Access to U.S. 1 from the properties along 85th Street will not <br />be significantly impaired as the internal streets of the Graves <br />Addition to Wabasso subdivision will provide an easy <br />connection. <br />It is anticipated that all signalization equipment will be <br />received and installed by March 1,•1985. At the time of <br />installation, a double guardrail will be placed at the 85th <br />Street access. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the.' County Commission close the 85th <br />Street access to the east ide of U.S. 1, and adopt and execute <br />the attached resolution. <br />Planner Mary Jane Goetzfried presented staff's <br />recommendation to close the 85th Street access to the east <br />side of U.S. #1. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked <br />if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were <br />none. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board <br />unanimously closed the Public Hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the <br />Board adopt Resolution 84-64, closing the 85th <br />Street access to the east side of U.S. #1. <br />m <br />_I <br />
