Mr. Lear stated that we were trying to prioritize the issue list and stated that Ms. Shira was present. He stated the

by Mr. Card and he could discuss those issues. Once we have consensus on the wording they could prioritize the
list.
Mr. Card discussed the changes he proposed and provided prior to the meeting. Mr. Leonard thought they were
not supposed to get so detailed with the issues, and that reminded everyone that they are only making a
recommendation to Council. Mr. Miller stated they were to identify the issues, not solutions, it is very important
to identify traffic problems.
Mr. Card moved that we adopt Traffic Circulation wording as proposed as he read it, second by Mr. Ross.
Mr. Card then reading the wording: Adopt a plan to alleviate anticipated congestion on US 1 that will
result from residential development south of Roberts Road and East of I -95 while still preserving the
Turnbull Hammock.
Mr. Weiss asked for Ms. Shira's thoughts on the change. Ms. Shira stated that the proposed change changed the
focus of where the efforts were.
Mr. Ross stated that Volusia County and the State need to understand that what happens on US 1 will be because
of development south of Roberts Road. Mr. Weiss stated he understood what Mr. Card was suggesting, but felt
it should be kept simple.
