OCT 16 1985 �� <br />443 <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that when the <br />large scale petition paving program was conceived about 3-4 years <br />ago, staff advised the Board that if some specific roads on the <br />County grading routes were to be paved in the future, we could <br />consolidate the existing grading routes and provide a much more <br />efficient grading program. In addition to the expense, there is <br />the liability of having a slow-moving grader travel long <br />distances on heavy trafficked roads, such as SR -60 and U.S. #1, <br />I <br />just to grade one or two outlying roads. He reported that since <br />the staff memo was prepared, they have received voluntary <br />petition paving applications for two streets in the north county, <br />Paradise Lane and 110th Place. <br />Commissioner Wodtke believed staff was going to have a lot <br />of difficulty trying to determine who is going to pay what, and <br />Administrator Wright explained that all the Board would be saying <br />today is that we intend to go to public hearing for forced paving <br />on these roads. <br />Commissioner Scurlock agreed that we need to do something to <br />consolidate our grading routes and that we should go ahead and <br />advertise these roads and see what cooperation we get. We may <br />find that by the County initiating the petition paving, that the <br />majority of the property owners will agree, and then we can work <br />out the cost effectiveness on a case by case basis. He suggested <br />that before we go to public hearings, we mail notices to the <br />property owners on these roads advising them of our intentions <br />and also conduct workshops asking their cooperation in paving <br />these roads. <br />Director Davis wished the City of Vero Beach and the County <br />would get together and clean up 14th Street, which is on the <br />Y <br />southern city limit. He confirmed that a developer intends to <br />pave a substantial amount of Live Oak Drive on Orchid Isle; <br />however, he did not believe that paving that stretch of Orchid <br />Lane was a high priority because County graders would be in that <br />area grading Jungle Trail for many years to come. <br />51 <br />M <br />
