Public Works Director Jim Davis recommended that we hold a <br />public hearing before any of the streets are closed, as he <br />anticipated some complaints. <br />He explained that the only way to <br />segregate the Oslo Park intersection from the Vero Highlands <br />intersection and still provide a second access out of the <br />Highlands is to do some road closings. There are some <br />alternatives, but Alternative #1 is the least costly, and that is <br />what staff is recommending. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized <br />staff to schedule a public hearing on this matter. <br />Chairman Wheeler asked what happened to the right-of-way <br />that the County purchased south of 17th Street S.W., and Director <br />Davis explained that the County purchased a 60 -ft. wide <br />right-of-way south of the sub -lateral canal, which is to be used <br />in conjunction with shifting the canal. <br />Discussion ensued regarding alternatives to providing <br />another access into Vero Highlands, and Director Davis agreed <br />that it would be a very desirable alternative to relocate 17th <br />Street S.W. west of 27th Avenue, south of the sub -lateral canal, <br />to line up with our new right-of-way. However, Mr. Tripson, who <br />owns those two tracts of land, has indicated that he is not <br />willing to give up that right-of-way. <br />Chairman Wheeler wished to see that explored as a fourth <br />alternative, and Commissioner Scurlock suggested that we talk to <br />Mr. Tripson again. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that staff will bring all the <br />alternatives to the Board one week before the public hearing is <br />held. <br />FEB 2 8 1989 <br />63 <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 283 <br />
