the development is in MSTU boundary and part of it is not, should the whole
development get included into the boundary since they will have the benefit
of egress into Bayshore. Mr. Gutierrez mentioned his concern on who will
pay for the road due to traffic impact because of the development. Ms. Scott
wanted to recommend that they keep an eye on their traffic impact statement
when they submit it and make sure that it reflects the true impacts that it will
have on the Street. Steve Main thinks they should have only emergency
vehicles enter in and out of the South Bayshore entrance not the entire

can recommend these changes to the planning commission and the Board of
County Commissioners who approve these projects.
