MAR 18 1987 1 BOOK The Chairman announced that there is an item which is not on the agenda, but the Vista Harbor property owners (of whom there are quite a few in the audience) have a great concern about the extension of Indian River Boulevard north and he would like to address this first very briefly. He advised those present that the County has been conducting neighborhood workshops with the Country Club Pointe residents who were extremely concerned about drainage when the first go -round re the northerly extension of the Boulevard took place. The County has given direction to staff to work with the residents not only on drainage and make certain we get enough bridges or culverts, but also, to make sure this project will be environmentally safe, the Commission has given staff direction to acquire all the environmentally sensitive land there as we feel it should be protected for the public and it is not really great.buildable property. The concern of the Vista Harbor people is the ingress and egress to their property, and this is a significant concern to the Commission also. The Chairman stated that the Board will be happy to listen to the Property Owners Association representa- tive, but, rather than getting into a long dialogue tonight, would like their specific concerns expressed, and then we can have Public Works Director Jim Davis and our engineers schedule a meeting with them to address these concerns. He wished to assure those present that the final design has not been done, safety is a factor of concern to everyone, and their input is very timely. Fred Langstaff, 2800 Indian River Boulevard, Vista Harbor, spoke representing the property owners and confirmed that their primary concern is their entrance. There are 420 residents in Vista Harbor; there will be a serious problem getting in and out onto the Boulevard; and they very much would like to have a meeting with Mr. Davis at their clubhouse. He thanked the Chairman for the opportunity to be heard, and the Vista Harbor property owners thereupon left the meeting.
