43rd Avenue from the Thoroughfare Plan and not approve staff's request to designate 45th Avenue as a north/south collector road. Ted Herzog, Attorney representing the Sand Ridge Country Club Estates, explained that the extension of 43rd Avenue was originally designed to run right through the middle of this development, and now they want to cut through the western edge. He believed the extension of 43rd Avenue would not serve any particular traffic purpose at this time, and pointed out that it is not on the 20 -year plan. Attorney Herzog urged thelBoard to delete the extension of 43rd Avenue. Chairman Scurlock asked why staff didn't require a road through the golf course in the first place if this road is so important. Mr. Shearer explained that the Thoroughfare Plan has always indicated that 43rd Avenue would end at 69th Street, and pointed out that Bent.Pine was approved prior to the establishment of the Comp Plan in 1982. Michael Orr, Traffic Engineer, felt that staff's recommendation was a truly mild one, based on the spacing of the other roadways within the county where the north/south roadways are in a 1 -mile grid. He felt there maybe a problem spmetime in the future because the only road connecting 65th and 6 t now is 61st Avenue which goes through a single-family residential area. There being no others who wished to be heard in this matter, the Chairman declared the Public Hearing closed. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved all of the recommended changes to the Thoroughfare Plan, with the exception of Item i€3, which would have added 45th Avenue as a north/south collector, and authorized staff to transmit the Comp Plan amendment to the Dept. of Community Affairs for their 90-Oay review.
