entrance is on a curve and the speed limit is 40 mph, which most people do not adhere to at this time.
Mr. Clinton's concern was the safety of that curve entrance. Mr. Clinton's second concern was
residents will be crossing US 1, and there have been some bad wrecks at that location. Mr. Clinton's
third concern was that this item is for Edgewater Preserve, but the sign on the property states Park
of Edgewater. Chairman Kennedy stated that is the legal designation.

number of units. Mr. Andrejkovics asked about a traffic signal. Mr. Lear stated the developers have

Volco Road for each phase. The City will have the ability to state they cannot build any more until
road improvements have been made. Mr. Bogart stated the reason DOT stated 10 years is because
that is their schedule and budget, however; the development will speed up that process as the
developer will be paying for the improvements to Volco Road, which is currently a substandard road.
Mr. Bogart stated they will be adding a left turn lane and also will make a crossing for a safe
transition. Mr. Bogart stated soon Volco Road will be widened to 12 feet, improved, and elevated for
safety. Mr. Bogart stated he believes they will be putting in a traffic light within 3 to S years. The
road improvements will begin this year.
