TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director SUBJECT: Paving of Blue Cypress Lake Road DATE: February 13, 1989 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS In January, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to meet with the property owners that use Blue Cypress Lake Road for ingress/egress to their private property and recommend to the Board a program for the paving of the 4.9 mile road with the County share being 50% of the cost. On Friday, Feb. 10, 1989, at 7:30 PM, the Public Works Director and Road and Bridge Superintendent met with many of the property owners at Blue Cypress Lake. A vote was taken, and of the 26 persons in attendance, 22 voted not in, favor of paving the road and 4 voted in favor of its paving. The residents did request that a short 200'± section of the road be paved at its SR60 connection and that a westbound deceleration right turn lane be constructed along SR60. The residents were in favor of a boat ramp launch user fee if a $20 annual permit to use the ramp was in effect. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS _ Since the majority of the persons in the area do not want to - participate in paving the road, staff is of the opinion that an agreeable formula for assessment cannot be obtained. The property owners who reside in the 100 lot fish camp and the abutting property owners along the road (Mr. Holman and Mr. Priestly) are not in favor of the paving. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the south 200'± of Blue Cypress Lake Road be paved at a cost not to exceed $5,000 and that the DOT be requested to issue a permit for a right -turn deceleration lane along SR60 at the road connection. The turn lane will cost approximately $10,000 unless an entire overlay of SR60 is required. Once a permit is received, staff will address funding for the turn lane. A boat ramp user fee of $2 per launching is recommended, as well as a $20 annual permit for frequent users. These funds should be set-aside for park and road maintenance, with the approval of the US Fisheries Service, who funded construction of the ramp. Funding to be from Road and Bridge Fund 111-214. MOTION WAS MADE BY Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, to approve staff recommendation. Commissioner Bird did not have any problem with paving the south 200' as recommended, but in regard to the $2 boat launching fee, the memo refers to getting approval from the US Fisheries SES 21 198 9 IL 21 [ooK6 E l8
