   Margaret Platterborgs

   1:20:01Good afternoon, Commissioner Oakley.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:20:02You can lower that mic down. And we need your name and address, please.

   Mike Moore

   1:20:05You just bend it on the end like that. Yeah. There you go.

   Margaret Platterborgs

   1:20:08My name is Margaret Platterborgs. I live at [address removed]. I own four parcels and I have been sworn in. Calvary Road has a lot of issues that don't have anything to do with the road. We do have a road. It may not be the best road in Pasco County, but it is a road. A lot of my neighbors don't have a road at all. Their roads are dirt. I am the applicant to repave Calvary Road. I put in this petition twenty years ago. I was number ninety-eight. I thought by this point in time that

   1:20:39they would have progressed with my area. It's not a subdivision. It's a very rural area. And uh but unfortunately that didn't happen. We have natural drainage that's been there for fifty years. The uh federal government came along and in my side of the street they put in a sidewalk in the natural drainage. So instead of the rain going into the dri uh into the ground, it now rolls down the sidewalk. It floods out my property, it floods out the man's property next door. He needs a boat to get into his driveway. The natural

   1:21:09drainage goes on a in a pipe. under the road to the other side, which the county owns an acre and a half of land, which I keep maintained because the county refuses to do that. the natural drainage swift mud comes out and they says, Oh yes, it's draining just fine. It couldn't possibly be draining fine because then the water would not be standing there. and the golf courts and the kids would not be mud sliding through all the water if the water was not there. Gulf Winds is directly across the street from my property. Gulf

   1:21:39Winds is built up so high that that now I feel like when I look out my window, I'm in someone's basement. In the twenty years since I put in this application, they have put in three mobile home parks. There are dump trucks going up and down the road, much less like the gentleman that spoke before me. That is a very long narrow road. We are not getting a wider road. There are a lot of commercial vehicles. Everyone in the world has a pickup truck. They have dump trucks, tree trimmers, landscape people. The road is very busy. It's

   1:22:10the in and the out to my area. Uh I really would appreciate it if you right now we do not need a road. We have no streetlights. I haven't had a trick-or-treater in forty years. Right.

   1:22:26But the two I'm sorry. No, you have

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:22:29another minute.

   Margaret Platterborgs

   1:22:29It's okay. The two and a half inches of asphalt drainage is a big issue. Every the roads flood out. We are riding along the side of the road because you can't get two cars

   1:22:42And the um asphalt and water do not mix. If we do this road right now before we address the other issues, we're just putting a band-aid on the problem. Because the water and the asphalt don't mix. Uh Ainsley has already told me that for two and a half months the asphalt stays very soft, that they recommend instead of just uh stopping and turning into your driveway that you Just do a round turn because of the softness of the asphalt. Well, the kids that are drag racing up

   1:23:12and down the road doing donuts. It's d it's gonna destroy the road before it even gets started. So I would really appreciate it if you would take and we can address maybe but put to table this until we can address some of the other issues, the drainage being the bigger issue.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:23:29Right, thank you. Ainsley, can you come back up please? This is in my district. Um well the road is clearly not gonna last much longer. Um Um and I know sometimes we come in and do some drainage fixes. What is there anything we can do here?

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:23:45With all uh PIVAS projects, we do road related drainage. I was on site and I met with the applicant or the um the petition leader, and um she pointed out some concerns. I have passed it on to our stormwater our road-related drainage team, and they're gonna address it. Bear in mind that all of this be addressed if it is a approved any road related drainage, any road related drainage will be addressed before we actually do paving.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:24:08Okay. Um I've I've driven down these these roads. There's there are a lot of them in bad shape, not just this one. Can I I'm sorry, can I make a motion as chair?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:24:19No.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:24:20Okay. I would appreciate if someone um would make a motion to approve this.

   Unidentified speakerVoice D

   1:24:25Mr Madam Chairman M just so we are sure. Please call for public comment. You had asked the clerk whether there was anybody signed up, but I don't think we actually called for public comment if there is any.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:24:37Well we had the one lady. Does anyone else want to speak?

   Unidentified speakerVoice D

   1:24:41It's okay.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   1:24:46So I'd I'd love to entertain a motion to approve. It was the majority rule.
