• <br />ado— <br />Chairman Stanbridge noted that the Historical Resources Advisory Committee only <br />addressed the historical issues and had no input as to the traffic issues. <br />Deputy County Attorney Will Collins noted that traffic counts were done and there were <br />about 1800 trips daily on the segment of Old Dixie Highway proposed to be abandoned, while <br />there were more than 14,000 trips daily on US#1. The Fenders would still have the US#1 access. <br />There would be no diminishment of value as long as the easement were delivered and recorded. <br />The 33 feet from the centerline of Old Dixie would also be added to the Fender property and that <br />is valuable commercial property. Mr Graves cannot proceed with development of his property <br />until the abandonment question is resolved. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, to grant the <br />applicant's request provided the appropriate <br />easement is granted in perpetuity to the Fender <br />property. <br />Commissioner Macht noted that any development plans would have to go through many <br />approval processes where there would be more opportunities to impose appropriate conditions. <br />Commissioner Adams expressed her concern that there had been no discussion between <br />Mr. Graves and Mrs. Fender and did not feel able to make a competent decision at this time. She <br />encouraged the parties to sit down together and work out an agreement before coming back to <br />the Board. <br />Attorney Collins noted that Mr. Graves has executed right-of-way deeds in favor of the <br />County which are being held in escrow pending the abandonment and suggested something <br />similar could be done with the Fender easement. <br />AUGUST 6, 2002 <br />77 <br />b <br />• <br />
