OLD BUSINESS:
A. RIVERFRONT PARKING
Mr. Massarelli opened the discussion, explaining a project which he and Mr. Miller from CRA
performed on site by the CAV Corp property. He noted that they took further measurements,
checked angles, and looked at issues in the area. He then explained the modifications they made to
the site plan. He noted that a swale in that area will be replaced with a storm sewer as well as
replacing the storm sewer at Coolidge. This would allow Indian River Drive to be shifted to the
west approximately thirteen (13) feet. He also noted that the City Engineer's primary concern was
that the approaches for this shift (curves) would be designed for thirty (30) MPH speed limits. He
then noted that there will be two (2) more parking spaces on the north end of the parking area, near
the picnic table. He pointed out three (3) spaces that will be lost on the southern end.
There was discussion about the street lighting along Fellsmere Road.
Mr. Neuberger suggested another picnic table at the south end of the easternmost parking area., or
one or more bicycle racks.
