"either/or" situation, we would discuss the possibility of the 20th Avenue extension at the meeting of June 6th. Mark Poole, 1540 20th Ct. SW, Oslo, asked if he understood it already has been decided that the road will go through on 20th Avenue. Commissioner Scurlock advised that it has not yet been de- cided, but he believed it would be fair to say that it has been recommended by staff that 20th Avenue be extended, and the fire and emergency situation has shed a new light on this whole problem. Commissioner Scurlock noted that he voted against the 20th Avenue extension the first time it was proposed, but new facts have been brought forward, and he felt we need to hear from the public and then we can make the best decision for the most people. Mr. Poole noted that it appears that he then should gather his forces from the Oslo area and be here at the meeting on June 6th, and Commissioner Scurlock agreed. Patricia Webb, 364 SW 16th St., believed that it has been said it is cheaper to do the 20th Avenue extension and she wished to know if there is any less red tape involved with that. Director Davis advised that we are now at the point where both extensions can progress at about the same rate, and either project would be easy to implement at this time. Mrs. Webb wished to know if there will be a stop light at the exit onto 27th Avenue, and Director Davis stated that there will be a stop sign; they do not anticipate the need for a light at this time. Mrs. Zaniewski had a question about 17th Street, which she calls 17th Street and the County calls 17th Lane. She believed that is a state road that goes from Old Dixie all the way to 1-95, and wished to know if that is correct. Director Davis advised that the road north of the canal is not a state road. It is a 30' R/W that was established in 1922 when Indian Rive°.r Farms platted the western part of the county. 31 AY 2 � 1989 BOOK. 14f
