about it in the newspaper and heard a presentation at the City <br />Council meeting. - <br />Commissioner Eggert believed that Mr. Wadsworth was <br />splitting hairs about the word "hearing" because every Board <br />meeting we have has been published. <br />Commissioner Wheeler commented that although there seems to <br />be some concern that all this has been done in a vacuum, this has <br />been a very talked about and controversial issue for at least six <br />years, and there have been many meetings whether people attended <br />them or not. He recalled that he personally attended a meeting <br />in City Hall in Sebastian where Mr. Davis spoke specifically on <br />this issue. In addition, we received a Resolution from past City <br />Councils supporting this project, and also the Transportation <br />Planning Committee unanimously support this, and their meetings <br />are publicized and they solicit input. <br />Mr. Wadsworth agreed there have been meetings, but only a <br />few people knew about them. He continued to contend that there <br />has not been an advertised public hearing until now and that <br />there is no record in this building of any meetings that have <br />ever been held. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that we have met at the Commission <br />level and discussed this many times, and there are written <br />Minutes of every Commission meeting ever held. <br />Chairman Bird asked that Mr. Davis address to the best of <br />his recollection how many appearances he or members of his staff <br />have made to discuss this project either here or in the North <br />County area. <br />Director Davis knew of at least 4 formal meetings and many <br />informal meetings. They met with the North County Businessmen's <br />Association among others, and he pointed out that there is a list <br />of probably 10 meetings, with Minutes attached, included in the <br />backup material for today's meeting, and those are available for <br />anyone to read or get a copy. <br />Mr. Wadsworth continued to contend that what is proposed is <br />only a temporary solution. He brought up the point that the <br />Sebastian P&Z has been requiring people on the south side of 512 <br />to setback 70' because of the new road that was going through, <br />and he wished to know if they are going to be reimbursed for <br />their 70' if the twin pairs are put in. He then noted that you <br />will be limited as to what you can do on 100' of R/W, and felt <br />that we may later need 6 lanes. <br />Chairman Bird advised that we do not have just 100' of R/W - <br />the 100' is additional to the R/W we already have. <br />Director Davis further explained that the amount of R/W <br />varies considerably in the eastern section - from 50/60' in some <br />19 �'oo <br />�ooK �.� F�A� <br />NOV 21 6 1981 <br />
