��M BOOK 61 Vice Chairman Scurlock emphasized that what he is asking staff is how much of the center we can allow to be occupied without creating a safety problem because he felt two traffic officers could do only so much. Director Davis felt that Kings Highway is going to have to be built in phases to maintain the existing traffic there. If half of Kings Highway from the median towards the project can be built as the first phase and then traffic maintained in that section until they are building the west phase, perhaps we could have at least two lanes open on Kings Highway and maybe some traffic control there and some access onto Kings Highway while the west lanes are being constructed. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that at the time we are going to be doing this construction on Kings Highway, they are going to be jammed with people trying to get in and out of that place. Mr. Spilotros wished to make the point that they do have a design for road improvement that is approved by the County with which they can meet the deadline and can open the center and have unlimited local tenants go in there. He noted that because that area was scheduled for country road improvement, they agreed to make their contribution to the road improvement instead. There were some communications problems between the county and their engineer, but it was never a question of their not agreeing, and they have diligently pursued trying to find what the County actually wants and contribute their dollars to that end. He emphasized that the local tenants are an important consideration to the shopping center. Vice Chairman Scurlock inquired if there was water capacity for the entire shopping center, and Director Pinto stated that it was going to depend on what kind of stores there are. For instance, a laundromat would require more capacity than a gift store. 67 M M
