John Drago • • Post Office Box 627 Okeechobee, Florida September 7, 1994 Florida Department of Transportation Attention: Ms. Kim Warren Project Manager Post Office Box 1249 Bartow, Florida 33831 Dear Ms. Warren: First, let me state I feel that State Road 70 west (North Park Street) North and South Park Streets. T F be divided between The road will have a direct effect on eight businesses and one home on the south side of State Road 70. It will put four businesses out of business and destroy one home. The road will have a direct effect on eleven businesses on the north side Cf State Road 70(North Park Street). It will affect seven more businesses, one home, and one un ccupied house. When a minimum of 18 feet is taken off each side of the aforementioned property on State Road 70, the property is destroyed. A 150=foot lot less 18 feet or more does not leave enough room for a business. Today the cost of property prohibits mom-and-pop businesses. It would be better to take all the right -of --way from one side if you do not use North and South Park Streets for State Road 70 West. By using North and South Park Streets, it would substantially save taxpayers' dollars. I would lose all of Block 198 when the divided highway everybody else's property. The small amount of property that ouldbbe n ded fr ut itwould save destroying Western Wear and behind the home would be minimal. om behind Eli's At the city limits, I would lose more property. It is the first 414-foot road ontage on the south side of State Road 70. This property is deep enough that it would not dent 7oy the property. If you cannot divide State Road 70 between North and South Park St, best to take all of the right-of-way from the north side of State Road would buy the land behind them, but they cannot do this on the south should cost substantially less of the taxpayers' dollars to do it this way time has been spent evaluating what it would cost to do away with bu of State Road 70. Again let me state if you take the right-of-way from property on the all the properties will be destroyed between North and South Park S Sincerely, Marvin W. Wherrell cc: Alex B.
