MAR 2 71990 �. 5 <br />BOOK ,l P,q.Gf�J <br />Mr. Wild pointed out that Mr. Williams is saying Rosewood <br />Road is a public road, but the home owners were assessed as if it <br />were a private road. <br />Board members advised that was not correct, and Public Works <br />Director Davis explained that a special formula was developed for <br />this road just because it was a collector roadway and the county <br />paid much more of the project cost than they normally would have. <br />The homeowners only paid 250, and also the reason that portion of <br />16th Street was paved was due to a voluntary petition received <br />from abutting property owners. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed that it was not the County's idea <br />to pave the road and further pointed out that special provisions <br />were made in the design of the road just to leave the trees and <br />to put the curb in. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wished to respond to Mr. Williams' <br />comments. First of all, he is not into harrassing people. <br />Secondly, he personally lives in an $86,000 home that is on the <br />tax rolls; so, he is not one of the rich millionaires who live on <br />16th; although, it happens to be in his District. He noted that <br />this Commission has been consistent in its site plan approvals in <br />trying to protect residential neighborhoods, and he does believe <br />this particular neighborhood is somewhat unique. It was an <br />unpaved road; it was not on any plan to be paved; and the road <br />does come to a dead end. Commissioner Scurlock stressed that he <br />has not suggested closing the road, but he does feel it is within <br />the realm of reasonableness to consider possibilities that would <br />enhance the quality of life for that neighborhood and not limit <br />it only to 16th Street residents. As to any special privileged <br />people having a special "in" with the Commission, that is bunk. <br />Mr. Williams noted that the 4 -way stops he was referring to <br />were in the City of Vero Beach on Club Drive in Riomar and on The <br />Fingers and they had nothing to do with the County Commission. <br />He did, however, believe the import of Commissioner Scurlock's <br />remark was to cause people enough trouble that they would take <br />32 <br />
