Michael Dudeck, County Traffic Engineer, informed the Board <br />that the DOT and ourselves both have asked for an operational <br />plan and evaluation for the roadway immediately around the site - <br />SR60 to 58th between 66th - 66th - 26th - all of those. We want <br />to see how it will operate, and it appears at this point in time <br />that unless there were to be a major extension of 66th south to <br />St. Lucie County, there will not be a need for any more than two <br />lanes, plus a third lane for a turn lane. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that basically you would be <br />precluding using 66th as the new major N/S road, but Director <br />Keating did not believe'we would be precluding it, certainly not <br />forever. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wished to know, if we ever should <br />decide we are going to need 4 lanes in that corridor, can we fit <br />them in without impacting the golf course? <br />Director Keating noted that the county's policy with roads <br />that have major canals on one side has been to get the R/W from <br />the other side. In the case of Vista Plantation, when they came <br />in for site plan approval, a 60' road reservation was given on <br />the west side of 66th Avenue; so, this issue had been initially <br />considered back in 83/84 when Vista Plantation originally came <br />in. He thought that none of the options are precluded right now. <br />Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that his point is that <br />right here today, we should try to do the best we can in terms of <br />looking towards the future, and he wanted to make sure we don't <br />end up impacting a golf course community whether .the developer <br />originally gave away something or not because he doesn't want to <br />be faced with that as a Commissioner. Commissioner Scurlock <br />noted that he doesn't have to vote for the mall, and the <br />developer has 150 some acres and a lot more ability to do some- <br />thing about this today than.the golf course community does in the <br />future. He agreed that county policy has been to go to the side <br />other than the canal for R/W, but in this case, there is a golf <br />Y., III <br />BOOK 9 F.,"E w r <br />FEB 2 71990 57 <br />L <br />
