5m. 92 inUF 2,03 <br />AVK 1;6 1994 <br />ALTZMTIM ANS ANALYSIS <br />The 42.9 acre Vero Sand Pines parcels have frontage on County dedicated <br />road right-of-way. Funding for construction of 57th Street to the Vero <br />Sands Pine parcels is available from the Hawk's Nest developer. The Vero <br />Sand Pines developer has a 24' easement through the golf course, but this <br />easement is not adequate to meet County development code requirements and <br />a 20' wide road with utility accommodation, drainage, etc. cannot be built <br />in a 24' easement. The easement would also disrupt the 11th and 18th <br />holes of the golf course. The alternatives are as follows: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Proceed with design and construction of that portion of Storm <br />Grove Road east of Lateral "G" canal. This alternative would <br />allow the developer to develop the Vero Sand Pines property and <br />access a dedicated County right-of-way. The Hawk's Nest Golf <br />Club contribution ($81,837.45) would be utilized and the <br />agreement between the developer of Hawk's Nest and Indian River <br />County would be implemented. The existing railroad crossing <br />would be relocated to 57th Street. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Do not proceed with construction of Storm Grove Road east of <br />Lateral "G" canal. The Vero Sand Pines property would be <br />rendered essentially without adequate access, unless the 24' <br />wide easement is approved for access. <br />In addition, the Hawk's Nest road construction funds would <br />remain unused. <br />Alternative No. 3 <br />Request the developer, Vero Sand Pines, to proceed to design the <br />Storm Grove Road extension east of Lateral "G" canal and enter <br />into a developers agreement which would make available the <br />Hawk's Nest escrow funds for the project construction. County <br />staff would assist the developer, but not manage the entire <br />project. The Public Works Department would approve all design. <br />Alternative No. 3 is recommended. <br />Commissioner Bird led discussion regarding the relocation of <br />the FEC Railroad crossing at Hawks' Nest and its effect on the <br />residents. He was concerned because he recalled that the crossing <br />was improved and developed by the original developers of Hawks' <br />Nest. <br />Commissioner Eggert was concerned because she is in favor of <br />53rd Street being our east -west roadway in that part of the county <br />rather than Storm Grove Road, which is 57th Street. <br />Director Davis pointed out that he needs more information from <br />the county thoroughfare plan model before he meets with <br />representatives of the FEC Railroad to discuss the crossing. The <br />model is expected to be completed in about a month. <br />112 <br />
