F, I PR 2 1991 traffic impact fee credit. We prefer, however, to continue on with our project and implement that improvement. Commissioner Scurlock again brought up the option of bonding these improvements and accelerating the program, which approach he does not necessarily support. He stressed that this is a very complex issue and that concurrency is a much more serious matter than anyone yet realizes. Director Davis moved on to Item 4 - constructing an exclu- sive left turn lane at the east and west approaches at CR510/USI. He informed the Board that is a project we do not have in engineering at this time, and he believed this is the first development that has triggered it. Here again, if the developer wants to do it and get traffic impact fee credit, he can do it. In discussion, the Chairman noted that apparently what we are saying regarding 510 is Fischer now or the County later. Director Davis advised that Item 5 in regard to signage to prohibit industrial truck traffic being routed through Sebastian Highlands is the responsibility of the developer. Dr. Henry Fischer came before the Board. He agreed that concurrency is the problem with the City of Sebastian. He noted that Sebastian Community Development Director Bruce Cooper is here, and he is concerned with the letter Jim Davis sent him. He is worried that if it is a recommendation and they don't do it, that later on the state will come back on them for it. Dr. Fischer personally felt that both his own consultant and Mr. Davis are right on course and that these improvements are needed whether he builds his subdivision or not. He continued that the turn lane to the right out of Vickers and 99th Street is needed now. His percentage of use is only 5%. His percentage of use is less than 5% at 510; it is about 6% into 512; and at Schumann Drive and Englar, it is 230. Dr. Fischer stated that 450 of his traffic goes out 99th Street and 650 of his traffic goes into the City of Sebastian by those back roads. He felt impact fees and percentage of use by him are a problem and pointed out that Jong's vegetable market and other vegetable stands that are major traffic creaters with great impacts weren't required to make any improvements at all, not to mention Keith's Oil Can. He feels as if he is caught between the County and the City on concurrency, and he would like to have some relief Commissioner Scurlock asked of all the improvements on this list what Dr. Fischer does feel is his responsibility and what he would like to see made now. Dr. Fischer advised that the last one with the signage in the subdivision is part of his site plan recommendation by the City, and he will have to do that. He would like to work with 30
