, cotPR 21991 warrants are not there at this time, but he believed as the development goes in, it will trip the volume warrant. As to the eastbound right turn lane, that is a problem now because the vehicles waiting to left turn wait so long that they cause a lengthy delay for those wanting to right turn to go south on U.S.I:, and that probably would be a county or local area responsibility. Chairman Bird thought that staff had said everything lumped under Item 1 was Dr. Fischer's responsibility. Director Davis explained that it all relates to timing. If the developer wants to proceed prior to the County's improvement being implemented, then we allow the developer to do the project and get a traffic impact fee credit for that improvement. Chairman Bird asked if he was saying that the 5 items under Item 1 are Dr. Fischer's responsibility, and Director Davis agreed that they are his responsibility if the development is going to proceed prior to the County doing the improvements. Director Davis then addressed Item 2 and advised that the widening of the pavement of 99th Street to 24' is to accommodate the type of vehicle attracted to an industrial area - it is more of a safety improvement, and they do not feel it would be traffic impact fee creditable due to the nature of the development. They feel that also would be Dr. Fischer's responsibility unless the County gets to it before he develops. Commissioner Scurlock felt the whole issue is where the development is triggering usi we are going to do the improvement but we don't have money or it is not on the priority list.. and he has some problem with that because he felt if this is a county responsibility, it ought to be a county responsibility. Director Davis noted that the problem with reacting to meet the needs wherever these developments may occur is that it plays havoc with our priorities. Commissioner Scurlock addressed the question of cash flow, the possibility of bonding, etc. He felt that there is no question that the improvement will be necessary. This inter- section has been before us several times before, and while he agrees that Dr. Fischer has some responsibility to that intersection, he is only part of it. Commissioner Scurlock, therefore, had some problems with who pays and when they pay, and saying it is a county responsibility, but we don't have any money now so we are going to put the burden on this developer; and then he gets an impact credit if it is on the 20 year plan and we must track all this. Director Davis again stressed that in 1989 we recommended an assessment district for this purpose, but there was a lot of M 28 M
