time as he has spent in going through all the "studies," is that <br />it is said we have "looked at" options, and he would like to use <br />the words not "looked at" but "peeked at" some of them. He would <br />like equal time for the alternatives the same as given the twin <br />pairs and he has not seen that so far. <br />County Attorney Vitunac asked Director Davis if he had a <br />comment on the suggestion regarding the south leg being one way <br />and the northern part two way. <br />Director Davis advised that we really haven't considered <br />that, but he felt that would be a preferable option to both roads <br />being two way. It would take some study to really evaluate its <br />effects. <br />Councilman Oberbeck didn't think you would gain anything by <br />it because he felt the problem is not westbound; it is eastbound <br />- you can't get off 512. <br />Chairman Bird did not see where we are going with this. He <br />has heard all this before, and he voted in favor of the twin <br />pairs project then. He appreciated all the input of today, but <br />nothing he has heard today has changed his opinion. He had hoped <br />that in hearing this presentation and the dialogue today, that a <br />majority of the Council would change their opinion and see fit to <br />endorse the twin pairs project with us, but it doesn't appear <br />that is happening. He feels that it is unfortunate that it <br />hasn't because we want to be good neighbors and cooperate <br />_ together. He, therefore, feels somewhat at an impasse. <br />Commissioner Scurlock advised his opinion has not changed <br />either but he did not feel there is any impasse. We have <br />professional staff, and they have taken more than just a "peek" <br />at the.alternatives. We do try to listen to local officials, but <br />the zone, the district, the service area affected by this road is <br />far more than just the City of Sebastian. He felt we would be <br />serving our entire community incorrectly if we did not make the <br />long range decision that allows for 6 lanes and does so in the <br />most economical fashion. <br />Commissioner Eggert stated that she feels the same way. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously agreed to <br />move forward with the concept pursued in the last -6/7 <br />months - the twin pairs. <br />23 <br />NOVe J <br />I <br />
