r <br />r <br />NBCA requests that an agenda item be added to the September 13th meeting of the Board of <br />County Commissioners under the title of Public Discussion. We will request at that time that the <br />Board direct staff to answer the questions raised above and derive, an approximate cost per <br />property unit for the bike path. <br />".. Regards , <br />Bob Bruce 1� <br />Vice President, NBCA <br />Mr. Bruce advised that the State is willing to match 75% of <br />the funds for the bike path within the state park area. <br />Commissioner Macht inquired about the assessment for the <br />entire bike path and staff advised that there could be difficulty <br />in arriving at an equitable mix for the assessments to the property <br />owners due to the large size of some of the parcels. Public Works <br />Director Jim Davis advised that the total project is 7.5 miles and <br />the County contribution usually has been 50%. There are 312 <br />residential units out of 510 total units, with the balance being <br />large commercial tracts. Even with the state park contribution, <br />the assessments probably would be much more than those to build the <br />south beach path. Director Davis advised that the Public Works <br />Department feels that this would be a more difficult project than <br />the south beach path project, although it can be accomplished. He <br />anticipated that the assessment would be approximately $1,500 per <br />property owner. <br />Commissioner Macht felt that the County seems to be <br />concentrating on the barrier island instead of the mainland, but <br />Director Davis noted that there are 5 or 6 mainland paths in.the <br />works. <br />Commissioner Adams requested that some costs be established, <br />and Commissioner Eggert agreed that it would be helpful if the <br />Board could get more specific and possibly investigate what has <br />been done in the last several years to get a better look at the <br />total picture. <br />Joanna Dunlap of the North Beach Civic Association suggested <br />an approach from a different standpoint. She pointed out that a <br />great deal of new traffic will be generated by the new Disney <br />project. Ms. Dunlap suggested an alternative of repaving and/or <br />widening the shoulders, or consideration of a macadam path rather <br />than a concrete path, which would be less expensive. <br />Chairman Tippin advised that the discussion would continue at <br />the 10:30 a.m. meeting of the Bike Path Committee on Wednesday, <br />September 14, 1994. <br />September 13, 1994 7 <br />BooK 9 3 PA,Ur 2l5( <br />I <br />
