r DEC 11 1985 BOOK 62 PAIJE 9 72, it was right for government to take property; all he is asking is to let him have his property and.his U.S. #1 curb cut. He offered to do what Director Keating suggested relating to a 50 -ft. road, where he would pay for it, or a 40 -ft. road, and get- away from the long through way where people could be hurt coming out of the facility. Commissioner Scurlock asked if he was hearing Mr. Penalba say that he was willing to donate the 10 feet, but wanted to keep the curb cut -on U.S. #1, and Mr. Penalba indicated he was saying that. Commissioner Bowman suggested closing the north entrance in order to solve the traffic hazard, and Director Keating confirmed that Commissioner Bowman's suggestion was feasible. Chairman Lyons pointed out that once again we are back to the ordinance, and Commissioner Scurlock stated that they have to give the 10 feet, but they don't have to give up the curb cut. Mr. Penalba argued that you don't give up an existing curb cut, but Director Keating stressed that the ordinance states that sites fronting at an intersection are to have access on the road with the lower classification designation. Chairman Lyons noted that the Board has continuously insisted that access to property that lies between two streets is to be through the lesser thoroughfare, and wanted to know what was the difference in this case. Commissioner Scurlock felt that this is different because of the existing curb cut. Chairman Lyons asked that this matter be brought to a decision. After conferring, Mr. Penalba, Mr. Culler and Attorney Albrecht suggested that they be allowed to use the 10 feet in calculations for green space, parking and building requirements, and when the County needs it at some future date, they can have it. He repeated that they still feel that they are entitled to both requests, the curb cut and the 10 feet. 34
