TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: December 2, 1985 FILE: <br />the Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: <br />Michael Wright, <br />County Administrator SUBJECT: <br />License Agreement Between FDC <br />Railway and Indian River <br />County for Use of Existing <br />Railroad Crossing 700 Feet <br />North. of Storm Grove Road <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., , REFERENCES: R.W. Fondren, FDO, to <br />Public Works Director James Davis dated Nov. 19,1985 <br />The developer of the proposed Hawk Nest Golf Course (Robert Briggs, agent) <br />west of Old Dixie Highway along Stone Grove Road (57th Street) has entered <br />into an agreement with the County to transfer an existing private railroad <br />crossing located 600' north of Storm Grove Road to the County. At the <br />time that a crossing at Storm Grove Road is needed, the crossing will be <br />relocated to Storm Grave Road. In the interim, the crossing will be used <br />for the golf club access. <br />ALTERNATIVES AMID ANALYSIS <br />The agreement is a standard FEC license agreement for a public crossing. <br />The County is obligated to: <br />1) Pay an annual fee of $980. <br />2) Pay to upgrade and maintain the crossing as necessary. <br />3) Light the roadway at the crossing as per Florida Law. <br />It is recommended that the Chairman be authorized to execute the License <br />Agreement on behalf of the County. Funding for maintenance shall be from <br />the budgeted Traffic Engineering accounts. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wanted to make sure that relocation <br />costs involved in this road crossing would be the responsibility <br />of the developer under the site plan conditions. <br />Chairman Lyons asked what the owner of this property thinks <br />of this move, and Commissioner Bird asked what other costs would <br />be involved. <br />Administrator Wright explained that right now there is no <br />cost to the County, but once it is moved, we will assume <br />maintenance. It will serve as an interest to the developer and <br />it will serve the County as an improvement to our Thoroughfare <br />Plan. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that it is a good trade off. , <br />23 <br />DEC 11199.5 BOOK 62 eAu 91 <br />
