} <br />BOOK � & FMU <br />Commissioner Scurlock understood that staff's biggest <br />objection is that construction costs exceeded our normal con- <br />struction costs and 250 of that is a larger number than what we <br />usually pay. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked if any consideration had been <br />given to paying the 25% since the road needed to be paved in any <br />case, and they went ahead and paved it before it would have been <br />paved under the petition paving program. <br />Director Davis explained that staff did consider that <br />alternative. The main objection was due to the adverse effect it <br />would have on our petition paving program. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked what the average cost would�be <br />for the size of this project, and Director Davis believed it <br />would run around $35 per lineal foot.

He doesn't want to go <br />through the petition process; he just would pay their fair share. <br />He asked if the cost of $35-$50 per lineal foot includes <br />drainage. <br />Director Davis advised that it includes the cost for paving <br />and drainage,, but believed that the County moved some trees out <br />32 <br />M <br />
