have four-way stop signs on Club Drive and believed they are very selective about where they put these. Commissioner Scurlock felt the Transportation Planning Committee would like to discuss this issue. He noted that the committee recently did approve the continuation of a four-way stop at Citrus and 20th Ave. against staff recommendation. In regard to having an additional exit road from the Highlands, he personally believed we should stop issuing all t.O.'s until General Development builds the road for us. In discussion, it was pointed out that some of the houses in the Highlands are being built by independent contractors - not all are built by General Development. Mrs. Ledger wished to know why General Development did not consider a second exit when the subdivision was first planned, and it was noted that was an oversight many years ago when the development began. Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that the first time the present Commission had an opportunity to have any control over this was when GDC came in with plans for their proposed multi- family units, and as a condition of the site plan, we said they could not build the units without the additional road. Mrs. Hill pointed out that even the additional road would not solve the problem on "Deadman"s Curve." Commissioner Bird believed we must deal with another road and also find a way to reduce the speed on Highland Drive. Administrator Wright noted that presents a enforcement problem, and Commissioner Bird felt we should do what we can do and ask the Sheriff to help. Discussion continued at length with the residents protesting the danger of the situation, and the Board generally agreed with the need to get additional roadway from GDC. In regard to the speed limit and dangerous situation on Highland Drive, Chairman Lyons requested that Traffic Engineer Orr come up with some alternatives to remedy this problem. 59 BOOK 61 PAGE 942
