13.D. COMMISSIONER LOWTHER - PAVING OF 13TH STREET S.W. - GROVENOR ESTATES Commissioner Lowther understood that the County will be paving out at Grovenor Estates and suggested paving 13" Street SW, between 34`" Avenue SW & 3:5)" Avenue SW, which is not included in the project. There are only 4 homes that front on 13" Street SW. There will be traffic in that area and the crew is out there now starting the process. He suggested it be paid 100% by the County. Public Works Director James Davis described the area using a site map. This road section was not in the original petition submitted by the property owners. He concurred with the need for paving, but it is not presently funded. Staff would need to determine cost, a funding source, and would also need to obtain a SJRWMD permit. It would be necessary to design it, but the mobilization cost with County crews is not expensive. Ansley Park, at the time the petition was received, was not a project and it didn't make sense to pave 13`" Street SW. It would now be useful to pave and save some traffic on Oslo Road. Commissioner Adams asked Director Davis to bring back the costs and time frame to the Commissioners. In response to Commissioner Lowther's inquiry, Director Davis estimated it would be about $100 per foot to pave a collector road, or a total of about $130,000. Commissioner Lowther thought it made sense to go ahead and do it. Director Davis advised that he only has 45` right-of-way, but should pick up more right-of-way from Ansley Park when it is platted and he believed he could send stormwater to that additional right-of-way.
