JUN 5 1990 BOOK 80 F,t;i:245 recompute the assessment roll and spread that cost to the other property owners. County Engineer Roger Cain felt that putting a ban on access along 85th Court would be contrary to good access management, and he would not recommend that approach. Director Davis advised that this tract has approximately 250 of the frontage on this entire project, and that 58.50 of the owners were in favor of the paving and had signed the petition. He explained that our petition process qualifies ways. It is either the number of property owners or the number of front footage. Attorney Marine noted that they never received notice of the petition; the first thing they received was the letter from Mrs. Gentile. Director Davis noted that the property owner is in Palm Beach and many times residents going door to door for signatures on the petition do not contact out of town owners. Commissioner Bird didn't feel we are in a position or would want to delay assessments against these type of properties. Harold Bornheim, 8515 22nd Street, stressed that ingress and egress on 85th Court is atrocious. In fact he very rarely uses 85th Court because he finds it better to go all the way down to 88th or 87th where at least half of it is paved. The dust that is raised on 85th Court infiltrates the whole area and both sides of that road are used for dumping grounds. Mr. Bornheim asked what type of drainage is proposed for this project, and Mrs. Gentile advised that it will be an open swale and that the swales will be completely sodded. There will be cross drains, culverts and some catch basins with exfiltration trenches. At some of the driveways we will construct ditch blocks eliminating driveway culverts, and we will do this on 22nd St, as well as 85th Court. There is a set of construction plans in the County Engineering office on the third floor in this building if Mr. Bornheim wishes to review them. 46
