The Chairman noted that the recommendation is to pave by a forced assessment, and his question is whether the end of 134th Street will then be closed permanently or open on Sundays. He understood the request is to pave it and then close it, but we don't want the parishioners in here all upset if they can't get to the church on Sunday. Director Davis advised that staff's position is that if it is closed, it should be closed in a proper manner with reflector lights and a fixed barricade. Discussion continued at length as to whether the desire was to have it\paved and then barricaded only on weekdays, and Administrator Balczun suggested'that maybe we can do both - have a proper end treatment which can be locked during the week and open on Sundays. Director Davis pointed out there are several issues. One is whether we can assess the church because the church is in the Sebastian City limits and has a very small frontage on that roadway. He, therefore, was not sure we could assess the church a major portion unless it was on some basis of traffic impact, which would require a study. Chairman Scurlock noted that he got the impression the church is willing to participate, but that they want the access on Sundays. He believed this all should be resolved before the Board gives authorization for any assessment. Director Davis advised that he has talked with Father Joe, and he does not want it closed seven days a week. Commissioner Eggert inquired where the church touches on 134th St., and Director Davis explained that the church owns Block 53 and the R/W that is cross -hatched, as well as the land in Block 21 through to U.S.1. Commissioner Bird believed the church would be assessed for Block 53, and Director Davis pointed out that actually Block 53 fronts on Short Street. APR 26 1988 68 NOIC .227 «
