JUN 12 1985 BOOK Fn,r:1 6 Administrator Wright felt the bottom line is that we will be giving the School Board just about the same price per acre for the right-of-way as that paid Roland Miller. Commissioner Scurlock stated he has always felt that the School Board should have to comply with a site plan process like everyone else, and Chairman Lyons agreed, but noted that in this case they circumvented that by being annexed in. Commissioner Bird asked the status of the project as far as moving ahead to definitely relocating the crossing at that point because some of the merchants along the old stretch are upset over what will happen to them when we change the road. Commissioner Scurlock believed that the decision is really contingent on future development along that corridor increasing traffic levels to a point where improvements are necessary. At this point, however, it is not even in our 5 -year plan, but if a large development came in, it might generate traffic volumes that would make the improvements necessary in just a couple of years. Administrator Wright believed that land will develop when one of those large tracts west of Sebastian is sold and developed. Chairman Lyons wished to see the County Commission agree on the route of the road so that everyone in ownership of property on that road will know what to expect. He believed that with the exception of the small strip just east of the school, that everyone will benefit by having a limited access road. He noted that the commercial lots on the old road would then have no problem getting curb cuts, etc. Commissioner Bird asked what would be gained on the new route that we don't already have on the old, and Director Davis stated we would obtain the right-of-way in order to give us the ability to expand to 4 -lanes. Most of the property in the area is undeveloped, but a few commercial establishments such as the convenience store will have access off of CR -512. 10 � � s
