M <br />Jeff Tanen, on behalf of the Tanen,family, presented the <br />deeds to the Commission, and Commissioner Lyons thanked the Tanen <br />family for their donation as he felt this was a major step <br />forward in getting this road built. <br />Director Davis reported that the right-of-way acquisition <br />for Indian River Boulevard for the 8th and 12 Street connections <br />has been taking a little longer than anticipated because they <br />have had to work out all the details for each parcel. At this <br />point they have secured the right-of-way from the existing south <br />terminus of the Boulevard down through the Tanen project, which <br />is a substantial length, all the way down to 10th Street, but <br />there are about 7 parcels that we have not closed upon. They <br />will be bringing those to the Board soon and hope that much of <br />that right-of-way will be donated also. Staff wants to try to <br />secure all the right-of-way before we go to bid because many <br />times we have to negotiate a driveway connection, drainage <br />connection, etc. The design is substantially completed and we <br />have secured the Coast Guard permit for the bridge. There has <br />been some delay in obtaining the DOT permit for the 4th Street <br />connection, but we are anxious to go to bid as soon as -we can so <br />that we can begin construction in the off season. <br />Commissioner Lyons asked if we could build the street in <br />phases, but Director Davis believed that would result in a higher <br />cost to the County. <br />Administrator Wright advised that they are concentrating on <br />the southerly extension of the Boulevard, and as soon as that is <br />done, it will free up manpower for the northerly extension. <br />2 9' <br />MAR 5 1986 ego- 63, Frt,IJE8U <br />
