Discussion ensued regarding the split pair design, and <br />several people in attendance who did not give their names voiced <br />their concerns about the alignment and the possibility of <br />expanding the existing crossing. <br />Commissioner Scurlock suggested that the new City Council <br />adopt a new resolution supporting the split pair design, but <br />Mayor Conyers felt that wasn't necessary since nothing rj-filly has <br />changed and since there would be significant savings with the <br />split pair design. He did see some difficulty in a 2 -lane road <br />coming over the hill there by the railroad and coming to a dead <br />stop at U.S. #1. He personally liked the idea of the twin pair <br />design. <br />Some people in attendance wanted to know when the public <br />hearings would be held on this matter, because they felt that <br />this design had been shoved down their throats the last time that <br />Director Davis had come to Sebastian. <br />Commissioner Wheeler remembered two joint public hearings <br />that were held in Sebastian that were attended by both the County <br />Commission and the City Council where the engineering staff <br />explained the County's intent to go with the split pair desion. <br />If there is a problem with the design of the road and the people <br />don't want this design, he would suggest that they go back to <br />City Council and make their preferences known. The County's <br />professional staff has given their professional opinion that the <br />split pair design is the most cost effective and safest way to <br />build the road. He felt that many options have been considered <br />and that Director Davis would be willing to present his arguments <br />again at another public hearing. <br />Commissioner Scurlock concurred that if the people need <br />another public meeting on this matter, we should schedule one, <br />but the Board feels that our staff has recommended a good <br />program. <br />D E C 51990 <br />
