Sunwest Park traffic and private road concerns
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Yes, thank you. My name is Bern Phelps. I live at [address removed] in Hudson. It is adjacent to Sun West.
Pasco County Street Signs, the green signs with the white lettering That's a county maintained road, correct?
The green background.
Now, the white background with the green lettering.
Private.
Okay.
Non county non county maintained.
Yes. Now Phelps Road comes off in nineteen.
To a subdivision called Mike Sugar Estates. There's twenty-two lots and there are seventeen residences right now. And we're concerned about the traffic.
That could be brought into that area. Sun West Park has already brought a lot of traffic down our street. Now when Gary Grubbs leased that property from Billy Hunt
He paved the last section of Phelps Road two nineteen. Racetrack road. Basically dead end and Right at Phelps and then you had to make a left turn to go to nineteen. He paved it, which made us happy. And curved it into the mines to where the trucks could come out easily.
We're still getting a lot of traffic. We've never heard anything from the county about Why they're using a private road for traffic. Uh I complained about it. I even come down and talk to you. Code enforcement, road and bridge.
Pasco County put a stop sign. Where we come out
Coming two nineteen. So we have to stop because Ray Track Road comes into it.
We don't have to stop coming in. It creates a traffic problem where someone's gonna get hit. It should have been a three-way stop. I suggested that. But I guess being it's a park. But it's still a private road.
And People in our neighborhood we're concerned about the traffic and we just wanna know what the situation's gonna be with ingress and egress. And What we can do to Try to solve that issue. We have too many cars coming into our neighborhood now. We have it posted Speed limit signs, there's no trespassing, dead end street, private road. Okay. And we're just concerned about it. We want to try to work something out and get something done but
Okay.
Okay.
Very good. And I'd be happy to meet with you um in the neighborhood. As the development would come forward, we're actually trying to work to actually do something to actually make that road all racetrack all county maintained and put in the public public domain. They haven't come forward with the development. One of the things is out front we plan to put an LED sign out front. Um So we know more traffic's gonna come, but we'd happy to happy to work with you to try to work this out.
Yeah, but it's still not gonna keep him from
Yeah. I can I can work with you to try to find out what we can do.
