Commissioner Bird asked which access would be built first, <br />17th ,Street or 20th Avenue, and Director Davis noted that we <br />don't have the right-of-way along 17th Lane at this time. The <br />intent was to build the extension of 20th Avenue, and then as new <br />impact fee revenue increases, we could acquire the right-of-way <br />for 17th Lane. Director Davis noted that the 20th Avenue <br />extension was approved by the Board many years ago, and it has <br />beenllon our capital improvements program. <br />!Commissioner Eggert asked if the residents would have any <br />objection to paving the 20th Avenue extension if it didn't <br />conno;ct to the Highlands, and Mr. Lau said he could not speak for <br />everyone, but he would have no objection if there could be some <br />assuriance that a future Board would not authorize a connection in <br />the Vears ahead. <br />irman Scurlock felt the whole purpose of paving 20th <br />Avenu4e is to pave it all the way through to the Highlands, and <br />Commilssioner Eggert emphasized that it has been on the <br />Thoroughfare Plan since 1981. <br />Commissioner Bird stated that if 20th Avenue was not to be <br />extended into the Highlands, he would like to see at least a <br />pede trian crossing over that canal to allow the children to ride <br />their; bikes to the schools to the north. <br />Commissioner Bird asked about the possibility of General <br />Devef'opment Corporation participating in the paving of these <br />road as he felt that past Commissions were pretty remiss in <br />letting GDC have a free ride in regard to providing access to <br />that area. - <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt the only leverage we had with <br />themlfor providing another access was when they proposed to build <br />a multi -family section in the core of the Highlands. That <br />project has been delayed, perhaps even canceled, and the County <br />has <br />of received any impact fees. <br />32 i�00K � •�� F.'�i,i ��,L <br />
