, MA R, Mw I - <br />BOOK 63 Fa:c4029 <br />Director Davis reported that staff has been negotiating with <br />the Fultz, White and Beal families and has secured fair market <br />value appraisals for those properties. These property owners <br />have indicated that they would like to have access onto Indian <br />River Boulevard as well as fair market value. Basically, staff <br />feels that if the County purchases the right-of-way at fair <br />market value, that access to those properties should not be a <br />consideration in the negotiations. What staff is asking today is <br />for some direction on whether we should pay fair market value and <br />grant access to the Boulevard also. The Boulevard is intended to <br />be a limited access roadway and we have not been granting access <br />during right-of-way acquisition negotiations and up to now we <br />have not paid fair market value for any right-of-way either. <br />Administrator Wright understood that staff is saying that we <br />don't want to guarantee access if we pay fair market value. We <br />recommend access be considered as part of the site plan <br />regulations in effect at the time of development. We don't want <br />to deny them access, but we don't want to guarantee it either. <br />Director Davis stressed that staff does not recommend <br />approving an access situation now that would enchance the value <br />of the land. <br />Commissioner Bowman suggested a frontage road at 8th or 4th <br />Streets, and Director Davis felt that if access occurs along this <br />portion of the Boulevard, it should be managed in such a way that <br />access points are consolidated into either a frontage road or <br />common access for two properties. However, it would be premature <br />for us to comment on access at this time as we don't know how <br />these properties are going to develop. He noted that the Fultz <br />property has an easement to 6th Avenue. <br />W. E. Roddenberry, attorney representing Mrs. Fultz, <br />stressed that the problem is that this entire 150 ft. wide <br />right-of-way is coming off the Fultz' property which has been in <br />their family for 17 years. Normally, the right-of-way is taken <br />from two sides of the road, but in this particular instance, <br />50 <br />
