Mary Jane Mills Owner/Director ,August 3, 198,8- Don 988 Don C. Scurlock, Jr., Chairman. Indian River County Commission 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Mr. Scurlock: rinance �= Other We, as owners of the property located 'at -860 20th Avenue, Vero Beach, Indian- River County, r Florida,- are requesting .to be placed on the agenda for. the regularly scheduled: County Commission meeting set for August 23, 1988, for the purpose of discussion with the County Commissioners the possibility of an interim plan relative to the traffic condition at the inter- section of 8th Street and 20th Avenue. If the Commissioners will recall, at your regularly scheduled meeting on April 23, 1987, the Commission approved a special exception for a day care center to be located at 860 20th Avenue, conditioned upon the fact that final construction approval would not be granted until the County installed a traffic light and turn lanes at the intersection of 8th Street and 20th Avenue. As of this date, the engineering for the traffic light and turn lanes has been almost completed and the money has been set aside for this project; however, some time still exists until the signalization project is completed. We have employed the firm of Beindorf and Associates who has a traffic engineer in their employee for the purpose of reviewing the- County's traffic studies and suggesting potential alternatives which would meet the standards set forth by the County. Ordinances relative to traffic. The traffic engineer has concluded that a four way stop sign installation would meet the County's traffic standards. This interim four way stop installation at the corner of 8th Street and 20th Avenue could be in effect until such time as the signalization and turn lane project are actually completed. If this proposed plan of action is approved by the County Commissioners, we would agree to bear the cost of the installation of the signs, and any other costs related thereto. We have: -.briefed Jim Davis and Stan Boling concerning this matter and our approach to meet the requirements of the County Ordinances and enhance the public safety of the subject intersection. We are enclosing, for the County Commissioner's review, the report which we have obtained from the traffic engineer. We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this situation with the County. Commissioners at your August 23, 1988 meeting. We would appreciate.. your advising us of the agenda on which we will be placed. Yours truly, Wil'il Mind Jane Mills cc: Margaret Bowman Richard Bird Carolyn K. Eggert Gary C. Wheeler 760 20th Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida 32960, (407) 778.5783, I.ic. In Process
