Commissioner Scurlock explained that in arriving at these <br />figures, leaving home and returning home are counted as separate <br />trips. <br />Director Davis pointed out that 16th Street does not exist <br />west of Kings Highway. Our policy on collector roads is 50/50 <br />and this is the first implementation. <br />Discussion ensued as to how these assessments compare per <br />front foot to some of the residential streets we have done, and <br />Director Davis noted that it is hard to compare because of <br />various factors involved, but basically the assessments run <br />substantially less than the typical local road because the depth <br />of the land is so much greater; it is spread over 1/4 mile north <br />and 1/4 mile south. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that this will be consistent <br />with other areas when we do them, and Director Davis agreed <br />because the way the community was laid out in the 1920's was with <br />the roads and canals spaced every half mile, so the benefited <br />areas would be 1/4 mile north and 1/4 mile south. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Jack Dritenbas, 1522 53rd Ave., Sundowners Subdivision, <br />former County Commissioner, came before the Board representing <br />himself. Mr. Dritenbas stated that although his name does not p - <br />appear on the petition for paving, he is 100% in favor of the <br />proposed improvements but 100% against the method of funding <br />them. He then recapped the history of this road back to October <br />of 1965 when the property owners from 43rd Ave. to 58th Ave. <br />petitioned the Board to make the necessary improvements for this <br />stretch of road, but the project was terminated on approximately <br />the west 1/2 mile of the road because of some objections. He <br />continued that although this unimproved portion remained on the <br />County's priority list, no further improvements have been made to <br />this portion for 19 years. Mr. Dritenbas was shocked that a road <br />which was listed for years as a County priority project, suddenly <br />should be labeled a collector road specifically benefiting those <br />47 <br />MAR 6 1985 BOOK 60 P�,UE 88 <br />
