c}s <br />I <br />that $180 a year spread over 1000 residents doesn't seem to be an <br />unreasonable situation. <br />Commissioner Wheeler stated that he would agree if it was only <br />Vista Gardens residents that would benefit, but other people would <br />benefit from that streetlight. <br />COMMISSIONER BIRD WITHDREW HIS SECOND TO COMMISSIONER <br />SCURLOCK' S MOTION, WHICH THEN DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. <br />Commissioner Bird explained he withdrew his second because <br />Commissioner Wheeler had convinced him that this situation is <br />unique and that we probably should go ahead and place a streetlight <br />there. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (3-1, <br />Commissioner Scurlock dissenting and Commissioner <br />Bowman being absent) approved Alternative #2, approving <br />the request for a County -funded streetlight for the <br />following reasons: <br />1) The Vista Gardens Access Road intersects Indian River <br />Boulevard at a location on a horizontal curve near <br />U.S. #1. <br />2) Vista Gardens is a large residential community of <br />retired citizens. <br />Chairman Eggert wanted the Minutes of this meeting to reflect <br />that this decision was made because the intersection and situation <br />was considered unique because she didn't feel this is something <br />that we should be doing all over the county. She felt that without <br />the uniqueness statement, it could be considered a precedent and <br />she didn't want that to happen. <br />Commissioner Wheeler didn't have a problem with that because <br />he felt it was unique and would stand up as unique. <br />34 <br />
