Mr. Beuttell emphasized that there was no traffic problem <br />when he originally built there on a dirt road, but he would not <br />build there now. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that traffic will increase <br />over the whole county as we grow. He does not want to increase <br />traffic on Rosewood Road; he just wants it to carry its fair <br />share; and the traffic count does not indicate that it is <br />overburdened. <br />Mr. Beuttell did not agree that the traffic count was <br />correct. He felt they are carrying an extra burden, and he wants <br />to keep Vero Beach as close as possible to what it was in the <br />past. <br />Commissioner Bird did not feel you will enhance the beauty <br />of the road by putting in speed bumps. <br />Mr. Beuttell stated that the people who live there do not <br />agree with that, and he again emphasized that 4 -way stops were <br />put on Club Drive. <br />Commissioner Bowman believed that was done for a totally <br />different reason - young people were using it as a by-pass to get <br />to the beaches. She also objected to anyone calling this road an <br />arterial; it is a collector road. <br />Mr. Beuttell emphasized that is only a name; it is not a <br />collector road! <br />Steve Wild, resident of Rosewood Road, also stressed that it <br />is a nice residential street. He noted that there are 25 <br />families who have lived there 20 years or more. That tells you <br />something about how nice that neighborhood was, but it is <br />deteriorating. Mr. Wild did know that speeds are excessive on <br />that road, and he personally saw a child on a bicycle the other <br />day with 3 cars behind him. He claimed that neighborhood is <br />different from other neighborhoods which run north and south and <br />have access to Route 60. People on Rosewood have no other access <br />to SR 60 but by that road. He explained that basically what the <br />residents would like to do with the 4 -way stops is make it a <br />7199 27 BON <br />
