MEMBERS MATTERS:
Mr. Simmons asked about the new site plan on U.S. 1, location of the recently
constructed Indian River National Bank and Sebastian Medical Suites, north of Walmart,
particularly the safety of the access drive in regards with its location in the middle of the
turn lane for Walmart.. Ms. Grohall said we have very little control over that as it is an
FDOT decision. Commissioners discussed their concerns, especially the fact that these
driveways are just to the north of the worse intersection in the city. They believed that it
is a major traffic problem with a strong potential of numerous and severe accidents.
DIRECTOR MATTERS:
Ms. Grohall mentioned that there will be a meeting on April 17~h and expect to have both
meetings in May.
ATTORNEY MATTERS:
NONE
