qY <br />Boa 76 FAUGE 908 <br />occurred all over Florida, he assured those present that you <br />could no longer develop such a subdivision without having the <br />proper ingress and egress, drainage, utilities, etc. <br />Commissioner Bowman inquired about the status of a traffic <br />light at the intersection of Highlands Drive and U.S.I., and <br />Director Davis reported that we have just been informed by the <br />DOT that their study of that intersection shows that a traffic <br />signal is now warranted. This will be on the agenda of the next <br />Transportation Planning Committee meeting. <br />Norma Kragon, 1760 14th Avenue SW, stated that she worked in <br />the Property Appraiser's office for 4 years, and she knows that <br />back when Unit IV of the Highlands was platted, it was supposed <br />to have a back entrance and there was a proposed road to go <br />through; so, why all the red tape now when the residents were <br />told in 1960 that there would be a road in the back. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed the residents were also told <br />there would be utilities and all sorts of other things. <br />Mrs. Kragon noted that she lived in the back of the <br />Highlands when they were the only house back there. It is very <br />built up back there now, and they should have a road out. They <br />realize the Oslo Park residents have traffic problems, but what <br />about the Highlands children who have to walk down Highlands <br />Drive to school. ' <br />Director Davis informed the Board that when Vero Highlands <br />development was platted, there was not a R/W secured from the <br />western edge of the Highlands to 27th Avenue. The County secured <br />that R/W through the pasture to connect to 27th Avenue by <br />purchase from the property owner; so, at no time was there a <br />platted R/W from the Highlands to 27th Ave. <br />Discussion continued at length regarding both extensions, <br />and Commissioner Scurlock felt we are getting off the track. He <br />felt the important thing is to get the road to 27th Avenue built <br />as fast as possible, and then on June 6th, we will discuss the <br />extension on 20th Avenue. So, the issue before us today is not <br />26 <br />
