FEB 271990 <br />BOOK <br />continued to stress that this <br />is a public road, and <br />it is <br />dedicated to the public. <br />Commissioner Wheeler agreed it is a public road, but he does <br />not feel he has been inconsistent in regard to what roads we have <br />opened and what we have closed. In the past he tried to preserve <br />the neighborhood at 20th Avenue for the same reason that there <br />were alternatives, and he was the minority there. He did oppose <br />the closing of 16th Street, but that goes into another public <br />road at 58th Avenue. <br />Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that 134th Street goes to <br />Roseland Road, but Commissioner Wheeler noted that the south end <br />of 134th deadends at private property; so, he would call it a cul <br />de sac and we have a lot of cul de sacs in the county. <br />Commissioner Bowman inquired about the cost of an overpass <br />across the railroad tracks, and Director Davis stated it would be <br />about $250,000. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt the only practical solution is <br />that the road be paved if you can come up with a proper assess- <br />ment roll that reflects the impact of the church on that <br />particular roadway. He did not feel the present assessment roll <br />is correct. <br />Director Davis advised that the total cost estimate is <br />$83,000, and Commissioner Scurlock felt that without question the <br />church has far more than 50o impact. Obviously, you would not <br />have to pave that road if the church wasn't there - the people <br />don't want it. If you put a traffic counter out there and you <br />look at why are you paving the road - basically, it is the <br />church. <br />Mr. Resop interjected that he previously tried to get <br />Director Davis to put counters on the road, but he said he didn't <br />have any. <br />Other members of the audience offered comments, but it was <br />pointed out that the public hearing has been closed. <br />36 <br />
