MAR 2 0 1990 BOOK'S Facc 6 with some recommended changes, which since have been incorporated in a revised report. During this process, an affected property owner proposed an alternative alignment which was considered by the County staff. After meetings with the E.P.A. and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the alternate alignment was determined to require more fill than the original alignment that was adopted in 1981. Thus, it was found to be more damaging to the environment. Based upon this past evaluation process, staff is requesting the following approvals at this time: 1) Approval of the Final Alignment as shown on the official right-of-way map prepared by Boyle Engineering Corp. dated 3/20/89. It is the official right-of-way map for Indian River Boulevard Phase III from SR -60 to 37th Street (Barber Avenue). It has been determined by the County staff and is being recommended that this alignment be approved as the least damaging alignment to the environment, the most cost effective alignment, and an alignment which utilizes good geometric standards in design of the roadway. 2) Approval of the Final Mitigation Plan for Indian River Boulevard, Phase 111, prepared by Boyle Engineering Corporation. This Mitigation Plan had input from numerous biologists employed by both the consultant and the regulatory agencies. It will provide direct mitigation along the project frontage, and mitigates any damage to the environment caused by the roadway. It involves the purchase of approximately 100 acres of Impoundment No. 22 and implementation of what is called a Rotational Impoundment Management Plan (RIM). The safety of the roadway would be enhanced, mainly due to the lack of ingress and egress from this land to the roadway. The roadway could act as a limited access roadway, which will enhance the safety of the roadway. It is best suited also due to the long-range planning of this area along the project frontage. 36 This area has been
