AUG 27 199 :, <br />BOOK 8 PAGE 0 <br />Mr. R. D. Auton, 1616 Southwest 2nd Road, Vero Beach, came <br />before the Board to thank the members of the Commission for their <br />help and support in letting the Florida Department of <br />Transportation know the seriousness of State Road 60 and its number <br />one priority on the Commissioners' list. He presented a large box <br />containing 14,137 signatures. He recapped the background of the <br />petition project and spoke of the conditions of the road and the <br />fact that people have indicated they do not travel over SR 60 but <br />would rather go out of their way to use other roads to travel to <br />Tampa. He listed the many supporters of this petition project and <br />requested the Commissioners forward the petitions to DOT and stress <br />our feelings of the priority of this issue. <br />Chairman Bird commended Mr. Auton and assured everyone that <br />this issue has a very high priority and grows in priority all the <br />time through our Transportation Planning Committee. He commented <br />that the Commission recognizes the hazards and problems of SR 60 <br />and assured Mr. Auton that the carton of petitions would be <br />forwarded, probably with some additions. <br />Commissioner Scurlock recognized Representative Charles <br />Sembler in the audience and felt sure he was listening to Mr. Auton <br />and all the petitioners, and reiterated the fact that while people <br />do not travel that road, and the road counter does not count them, <br />they are here. <br />Commissioner Wheeler led a discussion on the planned <br />improvements for SR 60. <br />Public Works Director James Davis reported the list of <br />construction projects as well as the 10 -year and 20 -year plans for <br />SR 60 as planned by Florida Department of Transportation. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wondered why no one has thought of <br />cooperating with the Turnpike Authority to make this a three-part <br />undertaking with the Turnpike, the County and the State joining in <br />a master plan. <br />Mr. Auton thanked the Commission, and Chairman Bird thanked <br />Mr. Auton for his efforts. <br />347,q i71e, box. o � �e ,� � A -TaKL- av y� � Nie �►� �Qe � D���, <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />MICHAEL O'HAIRE AND COUNTY INITIATED REQUEST TO REZONE <br />The hour of 9:05 o'clock A.
