BOOK 98 f*tu, 791 toward the purchase of the 66th Avenue right-of-way. Staff is in the process of finalizing the negotiations on the 66th Avenue right-of-way. County Attorney Vitunac agreed Seminole Venture should be left on the assessment roll and a discount given later. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. William Caldwell, attorney for Seminole Venture, Inc., had a problem with leaving Seminole Venture on the assessment roll and advised that they have a contract saying there would be no assessment on this property. He believed that Seminole Venture would eventually pay the assessment but the 66th Avenue right-of- way would be $23,000 to $24,000 which more than covers the cost of this assessment. Director Davis explained that in October, 1994, the County and Seminole Venture entered into a contract and closed on the right- of-way for 26th Street. There was an addendum to that contract stating that in exchange for donating the 26th Street right-of-way the seller would not be assessed for road improvements. In 1996 the County found it needed further right-of-way on 66th Avenue and, at that time, Seminole Venture requested a density credit and stated they would pay the assessment. The only issue still being negotiated is 1 unit of credit. The property owner would like 6 units of credit and staff feels 5 units are appropriate. MOTION was made by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board adopt Resolution 96-93, confirming the assessment roll for certain paving and drainage improvements to 26th Street, from 66th Avenue to a point 2,588 lineal feet West of 66th Avenue; with the following changes: (1) that Seminole Venture, Inc. Is assessment be changed to 110" and a note be added that a "density transfer is pending". Lora Adamson, 6760 26th Street, stated that when the paving project first came about 2 former commissioners indicated the street was being paved primarily to give several west end retirement communities 'access to the shopping areas without having to travel on SR -60. She felt that the street will be very heavily used but not by people living there and that a 25% assessment rate would be much more fair. She suggested either the assessment rate AUGUST 13, 1996 4'8
