STODDARD y~~ LIAM WAGAR r f J~enuary~ 22, 1985 ` A, REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION BY TEQUESTA VILLAGE COUNCIL • i• The undersigned, residents of Shady Lane, Tequesta Vi1T'age, hereby re-quest the Tequesta Village Council to consider allowing Shady Lane to remain a total cul-de-sac when the Bay View Terrace development p1a~C is given final approval. REASONING: 1)`Shax~y Lane has thirteen (13) building sites. Of the seven ('7 )' inhabited residences, there are a total of thirteen (13) children (ages six-months through eighteen years of ages). 2)' The- Lane and common areas in the development (maintained. by property owners) are popular play areas for these children... 3) Increased traffic through these common areas (if the- cul- de-sac is eliminated) would result in a dangerous play environment for these children. 4) Projecting to total occupancy of thirteen (13) dwellings would result in 24 or 25 children living on Shady Lane. 5) There appears to be no valid reasonfbr eliminating the Shady Lane cul-de-sac. 6) If the Bay View Terrace were approved as submitted, it would create-two (2) new cul-de-sacs in that development, at the expense~of eliminating the existing cul-de-sac in Shady Lane.. 7)-The existing Tequesta Drive extinsion on the western boundary of Bay View Terrace (as proposed) would represent an adequate,"emergency" entrance. We respectfully submit this request to Tequesta Village Council, and ask for a decision prior to final approval of the Bay View Terrace plat. Frederick C. Onorato 23 Shady Lane, Tequesta Cheryl A.
