WHICH CORRIDOR PLANNING APPROACH DOES THE BOARD WANT STAFF <br />TO TAKE? <br />After a comprehensive discussion, the Board reached consensus and chose Item C. <br />Discussion then centered on possible corridor plans for US#1 and several opinions <br />were expressed. <br />Director Davis pointed out that US# 1 is unique with the railroad nearby. He <br />explained that there is insufficient depth on the western side of US# 1 for right-of-way in <br />many areas.. There is a need to treat US# 1 differently. <br />Gene Waddell thinks US#1 will start to see rejuvenation and we have to get a plan <br />out there, or we will end up with more of what we have now. <br />Chairman Eggert suggested they could adopt the SR -60 plan with allowances for the <br />railroad and depth. <br />Commissioner Ginn asked about the swales on Indian River Boulevard, and Director <br />Davis explained that those swales are located on "cap rock" and the water will not percolate. <br />He would like to shape the swales more gently, but some of it cannot be removed. <br />Chairman Eggert wanted to know that berms will be continued on SR -60. <br />Commissioner Tippin recalled that berms were first known as "John's Island lumps" <br />in Indian River County. He thought it was great to see community interest in landscaping, <br />aesthetics, and maintenance. He suggested that County Agent Dan Culbreath (in audience) <br />might be able to find diplomatic ways to get new residents and developers to comply, <br />20 <br />September 8, 1997 <br />
