FEB 2 71990 BOOK 79 PAGE 38 Church has a lot of functions and would be opening the barricade a lot of times. Emily Johnson, 81st Avenue, informed the Board that she has never signed a petition to have this road paved, and she believed at the last meeting it was said that until that was done, the road couldn't be paved. She knew the county wants this done, but the majority of the people do not want it to be paved and have the additional traffic this would bring. There is a barricade there now, but people drive around it on both sides. She further noted that she is on.a corner lot, and with all the traffic, people would cut over to the cross streets to get out to Roseland Road. Wayne Sims wondered if there are any other avenues to the south or the west. He knew the simplest thing would be to pave 134th Avenue, but due to the opposition, he felt other avenues should be looked into. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard. There were none, and she thereupon closed the public hearing. Director Davis advised that the FEC is very protective of any new railroad crossings, and he was sure they would not allow another one so close to the Roseland crossing to the north. In fact, they actually want the county to look at any crossings that aren't sufficiently used so they can be closed. Commissioner Wheeler asked about the possibility of using 134th Avenue to the south of the church property, but Director Davis advised a great deal of that was abandoned. Discussion continued into other possible connections to the south down to Main Street, none of which were suitable, and Commissioner Wheeler believed we have been boxed into a corner because of the City of Sebastian not planning properly. Commissioner Scurlock asked Director Davis if this church property were in the unincorporated area where we had total responsibility and they came in with a site plan, what would his recommendation have been. 34
