Mr. Prytyka stated that the trees would not be disturbed and he had met
with the town's arborist, Way Hoyt, for guidance. He added that the
arborist would be observing the digging and site preparation of the area
where the tree roots could possible be exposed.
Mr. Kent asked if FDOT would require guardrails.
Mr. Prytyka explained that the openings are not on FDOT property but a
headwall would be constructed at the openings of the tunnels.
Mr. Frankel asked that if FDOT decide to widen AlA, would it impact the
tunnels.
Mr. Prytyka stated that the tunnels would be placed out of the FDOT
right-of-way. He added that FDOT maintains that they have 60 ft. right-
of-way from the center of the roadway and the headwall would be placed
back 60 ft. outside of the right-of-way.
Mr. Prytyka added that the club might want to alter the design of the
north tunnel from what is being presented. He requested that the Board
consider both plans in the event they decide to proceed with the smaller
tunnel, they would not have to appear for another review as they plan to
finish the project before this fall.
The Board complimented the landscaping.
