• Larry Eichelberger, 7435 16 Manor South, Westlake Estates, was one of the homeowners who would be severely impacted by the planned TND and paving of 16 Street. He felt it unfair to take property from him and other homes in his immediate area and felt the property for the roadway should come from the developers of the project. He believed the roadway on the south side of the canal would be better for everyone. He had no problem with the project, just the location of the road/canal and its deleterious affect on his property. Mike Diaz, 7481 N. 16 Manor, Westlake Estates, complained that neighbors had been notified after the fact and were told how things would be done. He advised of two lots in his neighborhood sold by the County upon which a house has since been built and one is under construction. He claimed the purchasers were not told (when they asked) they would be losing part of that property to this development. He suggested 8" and lTh Streets be made thoroughfares, not 16 Street. He asked the Board to be fair to his neighborhood. Robert White, 7300 2& Street, Village Green, advised that he serves on the SR -60 Corridor Plan On -Going Review Committee and was 100% behind this project. He stated that the Utilities Director had advised that the necessary infrastructure was in place from that perspective. Will Barker, 722016 Street, asked how much paving 16 Street would cost him as a homeowner. Director Davis responded that there is no current assessment project for 16 Street. It is not an assessment project at this point in the Public Works Department and it would be up to the Board whether an assessment project is done in the future. Mr. Barker commented that he thought the roads are fine as they are. Marian Greene, 742716 Manor South, Westlake Estates, stated thatl6 Street was planned in 1982 as a thoroughfare and in 1992 her house was built; nothing was said 10 years ago. She asked if the 16 Street bridge would be rebuilt Director Davis advised that the bridge is programmed to be reconstructed but not in a very short time frame. As the area develops, it will need to be done. Bob Hennessey, 1933 Tamara Trail (77' Avenue), advised that his condominium group was going to feel an immediate impact when this project gets underway. There is no deceleration lane on SR -60 at 77' Avenue; it is very dangerous now and there will be more traffic in the future. Director Davis advised that a signal at 70 Avenue and other roadway modifications will begin the end of the year. Planned six-laning SR -60 in the future should also help.
