SEP 10 1991 ©OK '4 Fe `'AEE � TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E;; Public Works Directdr`j SUBJECT: Request from Develop) Henry Fischer for Cash Reimbursement for Construction of an Eastbound Right Turn Lane along CR512 to Serve the Chesser's Gap Development/Fleming Street Extension REF.LETTERS: 1) James Davis to Dan Eckis, City of Sebastian City Engineer, dated Aug. 26, 1991 2) Henry A. Fischer to Jim Davis dated Aug 21, 1991 DATE: September 3, 1991 FILE: fischer.agn DESCRIPTION AND C_0_NDITIONS Developer Henry Fischer is constructing a 55 acre Commercial Planned Unit Development (PUD) -located at the Chesser's Gap property within the City of -Sebastian on the south side of CR512 at Fleming/Vocelle Street. In 1990, the City of Sebastian requested that the County add the easterly extension of Fleming Street/Vocelle Street through the Chesser's Gap property and east to US1 to the County's 20 -year Capital Road Improvement Program. This added road would connect US ,1 to CR512 and serve as a secondary collector roadway. The County performed a study of the road system as a part of the CR512 corridor widening study (Keith and Schnars Study) and concurred with the need for Vocelle Street/Fleming Street extension. The CR512 Study also recommended the CR512 Twin Pairs Project, which has recently been rejected by the City of Sebastian. At the present time, the City of Sebastian is negotiating a contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates to perform a new thoroughfare plan for the City of Sebastian. The Study is scheduled to be complete within six months. The County is also considering the City of Sebastian's request for a new study to determine alternative methods to widen CR512 one mile east of the Chesser's Gap property where the Twin Pairs alignment has been rejected by the City of Sebastian. The above mentioned two new studies may or may not recommend that Vocelle Street/Fleming Street be extended east between CR512 and US 1. The County's current 20 year Capital Road Improvement Program does not- include the Vocelle Street/Fleming Street extension, however, on April 11, 1990, the Transportation Planning Committee recommended that the project be added to the 20 -year Plan. Since that time, staff has been developing a revised 20 -year Capital Road Improvement Program. In the revised program, staff has programmed $180,000 in the second five year period (year 1996-2000) for right-of-way acquisition. Mr. Fischer is currently requesting reimbursement of $34,956 for construction of an eastbound right turn lane along CR512 at the Chesser's Gap entrance road (Vocelle Street/Fleming Street extension). This turn lane will only serve the Chesser's Gap project until extensive right-of-way acquisition and construction of the road is complete to US 1. The current County Road Capital Improvement Program contains a project to widen CR512 to four lanes. 14
