4. Intersection Study - Old Dixie Highway at 4th Street: <br />Committee approved staff recommendation to signalize this <br />intersection in 1986 to coincide with the extension of Indian <br />River Boulevard to U.S. #1 at 4th Street. Signalization cost <br />($25,000) to be budgeted during FY 85/86 and left -turn lanes <br />at Old Dixie added to the Transportation Improvement Program <br />(TIP) . <br />5. Orchid Island Identification Signs: <br />Committee recommends that signs be installed on S.R. AlA, <br />S.R. 60 (Barber Bridge), 17th Street Bridge and C.R. 510 <br />Bridge where these roads enter Orchid Island, as requested <br />by Committee Member, Mrs. Lier. <br />In regard to Item 1, Vice Chairman Scurlock stated that the <br />Committee took no position with regard to the Grand Harbor <br />proposal except to forward the comments made by staff. He noted <br />this development on Route 1 is a development of regional impact, <br />and the total traffic package should be looked at. <br />2) Update on Traffic Impact Fee Ordinance Study - the Vice <br />Chairman stated a request for a 45 day extension has been <br />received, and the basic problem is the consultants had one of the <br />principles leave the firm. Also, they were considering using a <br />microcomputer but have decided they will have to use the main <br />frame. However, in conjunction with the time extension, they are <br />going to compress their schedule and will begin work on the <br />actual ordinance concurrent with this. <br />3) The Vice Chairman stated that the North U.S.1 Corridor <br />Study is a very controversial item and required two meetings. <br />The original recommendation was to abandon the 27th Street <br />crossing by Scotty's completely, but it was felt that would limit <br />access severely so they came up with the other recommendations. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that the next crossing north of <br />there is at the City water plant, and he wished to know if the <br />City has the ability to create a by-pass road from that point <br />through to the Airport to relieve this situation. He felt they <br />had right-of-way along the railroad. <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock believed they could, but the problem <br />is that there is no way to bridge the canal and the traffic would <br />be limited just to the Airport and out the other side. <br />40 <br />APR 17 1985 nor U, FsF e� <br />
