Vista Gardens has built right down to the property line and all the burden is falling on the Fultz side of the road. Sixth Avenue, to which all of these properties have access, has drainage problems. In Mrs. Fultz's case, she has a 10 -ft. easement that runs through the Tropic Square Shopping Center and where the asphalt drops off, it turns into a dirt road that goes downhill to her house. During a heavy rainfall, there is a torrent of water flowing down her driveway, and she is looking forward to getting access onto Indian River Boulevard. During negotiations with staff, Attorney Roddenberry understood that access for Mrs. Fultz's property would not be a problem, but now we are talking about a joint driveway along the Boulevard. Administrator Wright stated that staff has no problem with Mrs. Fultz applying for some type of access once the road is built, but what we are saying today is that if we pay full price, we don't want to guarantee access which would amount to paying in excess of the value of the property. The access issue should be handled on a needs basis. Attorney Roddenberry did not see how guaranteeing them access is paying more than fair market value, but Chairman Scurlock stressed that it -would not be a problem if Mrs. Fultz or her heirs continued to live there forever. However, if there was a guaranteed access to the Boulevard, he would assume that property could be marketed more easily than if it did not have access. Chairman Scurlock suggested guaranteeing access for single- family residences only and approve one driveway for the White & Fultz properties, which would be a right turn in and a right turn off of the Boulevard. Mrs. Fultz did not believe it was her fault that Vista Properties built so near the line, and all she is asking for is an access into her house from the Boulevard. Chairman Scurlock advised Mrs. Fultz that was what the County was going to do. 51 MAR 2 6 1986 BOOK. 63 Fmu, 230
