r � � Chairman Wheeler asked if anyone else wished to be heard. There were none, and he thereupon closed the public hearing. Commissioner Scurlock had some technical questions. He wished to know the distance between the existing Trail and the proposed realignment on the north, and Planner Boling felt it is probably about 120' to the north of the existing road. Commissioner Scurlock asked if anyone on our staff has figured out the total acreage of the road as proposed versus what the existing alignment is, and Mr. McQueen advised that they are giving the County 17 acres over and above the amount they are asking be abandoned. Commissioner Scurlock questioned the safety of having their intersection in the center of a curve, and Mr. McQueen explained that will be a smooth curve linear alignment with a greater radii than existing and they have talked with staff about making it curve even more gently. Commissioner Scurlock then asked why they don't go back closer to the existing alignment on the north so they can stay further away from the Polo Club property. Mr. McQueen believed they probably can get back very close to the existing alignment on about 900' of the 1320' segment. Commissioner Bird discussed our various options, and be- lieved what it all comes down to is how we roll the dice and what we are willing to gamble with today or in the future. Discussion ensued at length as to what.could happen with the proposed buffer, etc., along the length of the Polo Club property. Mr. McQueen pointed out that the Polo Club has a conceptual PRD in effect right now. He believed in that PRD the County has made provisions for 50' from the centerline of Jungle Trail, and, of course, in a PRD, you have a 25' setback along your borders; so, he believed the County has pretty good protection in place with.the Polo development already.
