Michael Guest, 114 Hinchman Avenue, informed the Board that <br />he is one of those 80+ citizens of the community, and he wished <br />to stress the safety factor of opening 134th Street. <br />Dennis Dernbach, 170 Kildare Drive, felt that anyone who is <br />in business in the county can testify to the fact that the end of <br />March and beginning of April is a peak period based on receipts. <br />He found it interesting that the people on 134th Street would <br />object to the paving and not want to let the church people use a <br />county road that is paid for by county taxes. He did not <br />understand how the County Commission could put up the barricade <br />in the first place. The church is prepared to pay up to 18% of <br />the impact fees on the whole road, which he felt is more than <br />adequate, and he urged the Commission to approve the paving and <br />opening of the road as proposed. <br />Dave Marshall, resident of Sebastian, would just urge that <br />the Commission open the road. He did not see that it has to be <br />paved and felt that should be left up to the residents, but he <br />felt the safety factor is very important. He further pointed out <br />that on the basis of the common good, we are looking at 25/30 <br />families versus 800 or 900 families. He believed the impact <br />would be only 15/20 minutes before and after each church service, <br />or on Saturday about 30/40 minutes and on Sundays 60/80 minutes_. <br />Looking at that small amount of time opposed to the safety <br />factor, he felt makes this a very reasonable request. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired where the original request for <br />paving 134th Street came from, and Director Davis advised that it <br />was staff initiated to some degree. There was previous discus- <br />sion before the Board on the use of this road by the parishion- <br />ers, and basically it was decided some months ago that the road <br />either should be paved or should not be connected to the church <br />because there was a problem with dust. It is very difficult to <br />maintain an unpaved road where there is frequent traffic, and we <br />recommended the road either be paved or closed. <br />AP On 10 19A <br />25 <br />BOOK <br />
