_I .SEP 10 1991 BOOK 4 roadwork until we own the right-of-way where the road is being placed. Discussion ensued regarding the percentage of road use which is site -related and Mr. Davis felt it is 80% site -related use so the County should fund 20%. Commissioner Eggert asked what portion of the 27 -foot right- of-way is encumbered by the turn lane. Mr. Davis estimated 60% of that 27 feet will be encumbered by the turn lane. Chairman Bird felt if the County has policy, it should be followed. Commissioner Wheeler pointed out staff's recommendation is to continue to negotiate, and Commissioner Eggert felt if the use is 80% site -related, there is no need for negotiation. Commissioner Scurlock preferred to have information about the negotiations in writing, along with Dr. Fischer's counterproposal in writing; then he would be able to make a decision. Chairman Bird recognized Dr. Fischer's representatives who had arrived during the discussion. Attorney Warren Dill, representing Dr. Fischer and accompanied by Carl Fischer, came before the Board and stated he understood that the only issue before the Board was the payment for the eastbound deceleration lane, or eastbound right turn lane. Public Works Director Davis agreed. Attorney Dill stated that turn lane certainly is an important issue and there are two other issues that go along, and it may be necessary to defer this discussion to a later date because of the two other issues. One involves the Fleming Street extension which is clearly on the City of Sebastian's comprehensive plan. It is a traffic circulation element, is classified as a minor collector street, and that street was put in by Dr. Fischer the entire length of the project at this time at the request of the City and will be dedicated to the City for their thoroughfare network. So, Dr. Fischer fully expects to be able to receive an impact fee credit for some of the construction costs on that road. Another issue is the 27 -foot right-of-way which was discussed. Mr. Dill understood that right-of-way was set aside at the request of the County and that project has, in essence, been designed around the idea of setting that 27 feet aside and it is to be purchased by the County at this time. And the third issue involves the payment for the deceleration lane. Commissioner Eggert asked if the deceleration lane is part of the 27 feet. Mr. Dill understood, from his discussions with Randy Mosby, that the percentage of the 27 -foot strip of land is not as much as the Commissioners had stated. 18
