situation. Mr. Beuttell believed Commissioner Scurlock pointed <br />out the dangers and inadequacies of the road and the bridge when <br />they had the fight with Ralmar on their rezoning, and that was <br />the major reason the county won the suit against Ralmar. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed that one of the primary <br />problems with all those bridges occurs when you happen to have 2 <br />cars at the same time. The alternative is either to make a <br />bigger bridge or limit some of the turning onto it. <br />Mr. Beuttell stressed that they would not close the road to <br />all traffic - just motorized traffic - and he believed this <br />.should be done to save a life. He noted that they are not here <br />to be treated specially, but felt everyone must admit that <br />Rosewood Road is unique. Mr. Beuttell emphasized that the <br />residents did not create the small road; it was always that way, <br />and they just wanted to maintain it. It is the only road west of <br />the river that has curves and the only road that "Ts". He <br />continued his argument that closing this segment would not create <br />a hardship; the people could use other roads to go west. He <br />further stressed that two elected judges signed the petition, <br />Judge Balsiger and Judge Wild, and they did not just ask for this <br />arbitrarily but recognized the problem. Mr. Beuttell went on to <br />stress the charm and small town atmosphere of the neighborhood <br />due to the small road. He felt this is the County's chance to <br />turn back the clock and keep it as it was. The Board has saved <br />Rosewood before, and he urged that they don't give up on it now. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted she can appreciate the problems <br />the residents feel they have with the road, but she felt we <br />should follow our regular routine and have this staffed and sent <br />to the Transportation Planning Committee, and she would so move. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert to refer the re- <br />quest for closing the bridge at Rosewood Rd. and King's <br />Hwy. back to staff to be reviewed and sent to the Trans- <br />portation Planning Committee for their recommendations. <br />17 F,. <br />moF 77 �,,i,EIJ47 <br />
