Under discussion, Commissioner Adams was concerned about the <br />time between the receipt of the petition to project completion <br />because neighborhoods constantly change. <br />Civil Engineer Michelle Gentile advised that the petition for <br />this project had been received two or three years ago. <br />Commissioner Adams asked specifically about a project on 62nd <br />Avenue, between 39th Street and 41st Street. She understood that <br />communication had been received from Mr. Van Auken last summer to <br />speed it up because it had been 3 years. Mrs. Gentile advised that <br />all current property owners had been notified that at one time <br />there was an interest to pave the road, and.;if they.were still <br />interested in having it paved, they were to send back a signed <br />letter. She did not receive any response so that particular <br />project was put on an inactive list. <br />Commissioner Adams asked if there is still a 3 -year delay on <br />construction of petition paving projects. Mrs. Gentile advised <br />that if a petition were received today, design and presentation to <br />the Board could be as soon as the spring. However, because of <br />other projects which are underway, construction would be delayed. <br />Commissioner Adams asked if it would be better to group the <br />petition paving projects in order to bid them out, and Mrs. Gentile <br />responded that was a possibility. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that putting them out for bid had <br />worked well in the past when there was a backlog. <br />Mrs. Gentile advised that they had caught up in the designing <br />phase of the projects. After the project is designed, it goes to <br />the Board for approval before being submitted to St. Johns River <br />Water Management District for further approval. <br />In response to Commissioner Eggert, Mrs. Gentile advised the <br />design was not done at this time on the projects on the "inactive" <br />list. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that if it drags on too long, half <br />the houses will have changed hands. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />77 BOOK PACE847 <br />December 19, 1995 <br />
