Davis, P.E. Letter from Charles P. <br />Public Works Director Vitunac, City Attorney <br />to Michael. Wright dated <br />Mar. 21, 1985 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION <br />During the August 17, 1983 meeting of the Board of County <br />Commissioners,the Board approved the Transportation Planning <br />Committee's recommendations to accept donation of right-of-way <br />along the South side of South Gifford Road (41st St.) from the <br />City's substation eastward to the future right-of-way of Indian <br />River Boulevard. This right-of-way was to abut a right-of-way <br />to be donated to the City for an Electrical Transmission line, <br />however, since that time, the property owners have decided not <br />to donate the right-of-way to the City of Vero Beach. <br />The City of Vero Beach has decided to condemn the needed <br />transmission line right-of-way, and if the County does not <br />elect to participate in needed right-of-way condemnation or <br />acquisition, the transmission line may be placed in an area <br />needed for South Gifford Road right-of-way. <br />At this time, the City is requesting that the County join in <br />the condemnation. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Future need for South Gifford Road right-of-way is apparent. <br />If• the property owners along the corridor do not agree to <br />donate the needed road right-of-way, the County should proceed <br />to acquire it. Acquisition by donation is preferred. <br />Also, the County and City should agree on pole and anchor <br />locations so that conflicts with road needs do not occur. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING <br />If property owners along South Gifford Road do not elect to <br />donate needed road right-of-way along South Gifford Road, then <br />staff recommends that the County participate in a purchase <br />agreement or condemnation along with the City of Vero Beach. <br />Funding, if necessary, to be from the County's 5th and 6th Cent <br />Gas Tax (Secondary Trust Fund). Invoices from Lloyd and <br />Associates, in the amount of $2,935.00 for survey work and <br />drafting have been received. <br />48 <br />APR 101985 <br />BOOK 60 FACE 479 <br />
