Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the project for the Board and noted that the <br />upland and wetland areas will be preserved. Stormwater will be managed through an <br />interconnected system of lakes which will also be available for use by the County. <br />Regarding the entrance on 43' Avenue, the Public Works Director has some <br />recommendations to present to the Board. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge wished developers would not put "lakes" on stormwater <br />tracts. They are not lakes. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis advised, regarding the 43' Avenue access, that the <br />developer is planning a private bridge over the Indian River Farms Water Control District <br />canal which is 30 to 40 feet in width. The District discourages private bridges because they <br />interfere with drainage. Also, any bridge over 20 feet in length must be inspected every 2 <br />years. If the developer would move the bridge south 1/4 mile, then his 550 homeowners and <br />the general public could both utilize the bridge and the County could cost -share in the <br />construction. 43rd Avenue is a dangerous major truck hauling avenue. This could be a <br />better, safer project if the bridge were relocated and made a public bridge at 17' Street SW. <br />This bridge could then go a long way toward a major east -west thoroughfare in the County. <br />Chairman Adams announced to those persons in the audience waiting for the public <br />hearings on civic and social membership clubs, as well as group homes and ALFs in the <br />MED district, that those items are being postponed to November 7' because of an error in <br />the advertisement for the public hearing. <br />ocToBBINE1 a�aszPo6 2 9 <br />• 58 • <br />
