ISSUANCE OF A COUNTY DRIVEWAY CONNECTION PERMIT TO CR-512W_ES_T__O_F FEC RAILROAD - SANDWICH SHOP/PUB IN SEBASTIAN The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/14/91: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director SUBJECT: Issuance of a County Driveway Connection Permit to CR 512 West of F.E.C.R.R. DATE: October 14, 1991 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS - The City of Sebastian Planning and Zoning Commission recently approved a site plan for a proposed Sandwich Shop and Pub to be located along the south side of CR 512 east of the location where the existing road right-of-way and Gulf and Western Railroad right-of-way diverge. Prior to the City's approval, the County Public Works Department staff informed the City that since the City no longer supports the CR 512 Twin Pairs Project, it may be necessary to acquire additional right-of-way along this project's frontage to widen the existing roadway to four lanes. It was determined that additional right-of-way acquisition along the project's frontage would greatly reduce the size of the small site and the Sandwich Shop/Pub could not fit on the site. The City proceeded to approve the project._ At this time, the developer ...is requesting a right-of-way connection permit from the County to connect a driveway to CR 512 from the site. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: 0 CT 2 2 1991 Alternative No. 1 If the CR 512 Twin Pairs Project does not proceed, the most probable alternative is to widen the existing road. A Joint City/County Meeting to discuss this issue is scheduled for November 26, 1991. At the current time, the County has a 66' wide right-of-way fronting the 0.38 -acre site. A minimum right-of-way width of 130' is recommended for the four lane design, and 200' is desirable for an ultimate six lane roadway. If the majority of additional right-of-way is acquired along -the north side of CR 512, the impact of this project can be reduced, however, it is possible that some needed right-of-way will be required along the projects frontage- Complete design of the project is required to make this determination. Alternative No. 1 is to approve the driveway connection permit and request the City of Sebastian to refrain from approving development along the north side of CR 512 from US -1 to a point approximately 3000' west of US 1 until the CR 512 widening plan is finalized. This alternative may result in the County having to purchase a portion of the site and incurring severance damages due to the Sub Shop/Pub facilities being within needed :right-of-way limits. 57 PooK PAGE ��i.
