JUN 1989 <br />BOOK .76 F,..GE:980 <br />in Commissioner Scurlock's Motion, and Director Davis expected it <br />probably would take about two year's time to do all of those <br />improvements. The most difficult items would be the permitting <br />and the utility relocation. It takes quite awhile to motivate <br />the power companies to move the Targe poles out of the way. <br />Chairman Wheeler asked if during the same period of time we <br />could also explore 6th Avenue or right-of-way through 12th Avenue <br />as another access point into the Highlands which would give 3 <br />separate accesses. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that wasn't his Motion. <br />Commissioner Bowman felt that 12th Avenue SW would be <br />wonderful, and perhaps there is a little bit of leverage there to <br />obtain the right-of-way along there inasmuch as General <br />Development Corporation has sort of defaulted in their original <br />plans. <br />Director Davis advised that GDC doesn't own that <br />right-of-way. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt it is very hard to make a <br />decision to run a road through somebody's neighborhood. However, <br />the bottom line is that the Engineering staff and the <br />Transportation Planning Committee have been working on all of <br />these options all along and are recommending to the Board to go <br />with both the 27th and 20th Avenue accesses. <br />Chairman Wheeler felt that two years' time is rather <br />optimistic. to get those improvements done on 20th Avenue, but <br />Director Davis emphasized that is based on our current abilities. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that his Motion anticipated <br />that they would go ahead and do it in a timely fashion. However, <br />if traffic counts do not warrant a signal and the DOT doesn't <br />approve a signal, he is not suggesting that we don't proceed with <br />the opening of 20th Avenue. What he is saying is to make it a <br />safe situation. <br />34 <br />
