- M M Director Davis advised it is our feeling that the church should install that gate on their property, not in the county R/W, and that the church be allowed to open that gate on Saturday evenings, Sunday services, and Holy Days. That burden would be on the church because it would be protecting somewhat their private property rights so that people would not use the church parking lot as a short cut on a daily basis. Commissioner Bird did believe there is a minimal amount of flow from the church on days other than Saturdays and Sundays and wondered if possibly the flow is minimal enough that it would not be disruptive to the neighborhood but yet it would enable someone from Roseland to use that way on some other week day. Director Davis believed that just the entrance on U.S.I would not be such a bad situation on a non peak use. Commissioner Scurlock asked if the gate is to protect the church or the residents on 134th Street, and Director Davis felt it would be mutually beneficial. Attorney Vitunac did not think the county can get into scheduling the opening of the gate on Holy Days. That is too much an involvement in the private affairs of the church. He felt the Board's decision should be to open it or close it, and if it is closed with a temporary structure, then it is up to the good faith of the church to keep it closed except on their most busy days. Gene Deinbach of Little Hollywood advised that when his family goes to church, they go down U.S.I and then go back out 134th Street because it is plain "Hell" trying to get across U.S.I. coming out. Attorney Gregory Gore came before the Board representing St. Sebastian Parish. He noted that originally the County Commission was happy to accept $10,000 towards the paving of the road, and now they are asking $15,000 which apparently represents 18.040 of the total impact. He believed based on the figures, the church is paying more than its fair share. The church agrees closure of APR 101990 23
