BOOK 99 PAGE IOU -1 It is my understanding that the County Chas only a minimum right-of-way along Old Dixie Highway and in many places the actual right-of-way is ill-defined and may not extend outside the pavement. The transmission line would have to be placed outside the limits of the pavement by a distance of approximately 10 to 15 feet, depending on the speed limit and curb design. Councilman Jordan's specific question is: Would the County purchase enough right-of-way along Old Dixie Highway to allow the installation -of the transmission line on public right-of-way? The right-of-way would be sufficiently wide to allow the transmission line to remain in place, should the County elect to widen Old Dixie Highway. If you need. any additional information to respond to this informal inquiry, please feel free to contact this office or Larry Raisor at the City's Transmission and Distribution Facility. Very truly yours, Lawr ce E. Braisted City Attorney Director Davis reported that he planned to answer the letter by asking for more information as to their needs.and intent. The right-of-way acquisition will be a mammoth project and will take a lot of time. Commissioner Macht felt we should ask the City if it would serve their purpose in view of the fact that a great deal of time will be needed to acquire the rights-of-way. Chairman Bird agreed that we are not talking about a quick solution. Discussion ensued regarding the areas involved in the project, and Director Pinto commented that the City has an alternative routing plan, with an estimated $90,000 for acquisition, so they should be able to furnish information on those routes immediately. Director Davis stated that he will communicate with the City Attorney and ask for more details. Commissioner Macht noted that Director Davis' letter will cover the technical aspects of the issue, and he emphasized that a letter should be sent from the Board to the City asking what their intent is if we make this commitment. 64 M
