MAY I 11993 BOOK <br />PAVING OF 12TH AVENUE BETWEEN 4TH STREET AND STH PLACE <br />89 PAGE 521, <br />Michelle A. Gentile, civil engineer, presented the following <br />memo dated May 3, 1993: <br />TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: James W. Davis, PE <br />Public Works Director <br />and <br />Roger D. Cain, P.E. <br />County Engineer <br />FROM: Michelle A. Gentile, C <br />Civil Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Paving of 12th Avenue between 4th Street and 5th Place <br />DATE: May 3, 1993 <br />A petition was received from the property owners along the west side of 12th.Avenue between 4th <br />Street and 5th Place in the Royal Poinciana Park Subdivision. On the east side of 12th Avenue there <br />is the Indian River Farms Water Control District "Lateral E" Canal. Under our petition paving <br />program,the property owners on the west side would have to share in the 75% cost of this project, <br />due to the fact that in the past Indian River County has never assessed the IRF WCD for a paving <br />assessment. The water control district would prefer that the road not be paved. By assessing the <br />property owners on the west side the normal assessment cost for a Petition Paving Project just about <br />doubles. <br />A Cost Estimate and Preliminary Assessment Roll were prepared and an informal meeting was held <br />with the property owners to discuss this project and the estimated costs. <br />7596 to be paid by Property Owners $28,146.74 <br />251% to paid by the County 9.382.25 <br />TOTAL COSTS $37,528.99 <br />Since meeting with the property ownersthere is a definite consensus not to pave 12th Avenue under <br />the Petition Paving Program due to the large assessment that would be placed on the property <br />owners. They were concerned about the high speed traffic along this corridor and the minor <br />drainage problems. The County is currently grading this road. <br />Staff discussed with the property owners that there is a possibility of paving portions of 12th Avenue <br />to allow residents who have drives on 12th Avenue to have a paved access to another intersection <br />street. (Maps Attached) Alsothe four intersecting streets at 12th Avenue (4th Place, 4th Lane, 5th <br />Street and 5th Place) would dead end at 12th Avenue. A paved turnaround would be constructed <br />with proper traffic delineaters installed. 12th Avenue would be closed -off between 4th Place and <br />5th Place. Indian River County would still own and maintain the 45 foot right-of-way along the 12th <br />Avenue Corridor. <br />56 <br />
