OCT 3 0 1985 Boa 62 Facf 572 Chairman Lyons believed it will be necessary to have the full cooperation of all the municipalities to make the road impact fee ordinance successful. Commissioner Scurlock wanted it made absolutely clear that not just the barrier island was affected by°the moratorium on densities higher than 3 units per acre. He felt that if we don't have a vehicle soon for road improvements on both the mainland and the barrier island, development will have to come to a stop, period! Chairman Lyons felt that since we all have the problem, we should all get together to solve it. Commissioner Bird inquired as to how the consultants figured the total build -out. Mike Brown explained that they figured total build -out on the island by assuming every piece of property would develop at maximum densities. Commissioner Bird pointed out that the southern end of the island is developing at densities lower than three units per acre, and he felt they would continue at those densities. Mr. Brown recommended that possibly every year or every two years the County review this plan and consider making some changes. Commissioner Wodtke asked about the projected traffic figures for St. Lucie County traffic coming into Indian River County, and Mr. Brown explained that they took those figures straight off the St. Lucie County transportation charts and plugged all that information into a computer program and actually created a model. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that in an evacuation due to a hurricane or nuclear threat, AIA is barricaded off at the south county line, but Mr. Brown stated that their figures were for normal times, not evacuations. He noted that bridges would be covered under capital improvements only if the improvements were made to expand the capacity and not for maintenance. 4
