SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Public Comment Period Ms. O’Rourke opened the public comment period. Resident (Larry Williamson) commented that the fence on Daring Drive keeps getting damaged or destroyed because of the need to create a pass through to walk through the grassy area. He suggested capping it off and maybe putting a gate. His other concern was the lights on Ernie Caldwell, and he wants to make sure this is something that is still being considered. His third topic is the stop sign at the intersection of Gallant Gateway and Adventure Avenue. He explained that they were thinking the stop sign that was recently installed might have been for the end of the entryway for Astonia instead of Astonia North. He asked for consideration to have two stop signs added on Adventure Avenue approaching Gallant Gateway and to have the stop sign on Gallant Gateway removed so traffic doesn’t back up onto Ernie Caldwell. Ms. O’Rourke responded that they do have the discussion of fence replacement and discussion to add stop signs to those areas on the agenda. Regarding the lights, she stated the CDD is not responsible for those lights, they are county owned lights and will be the county’s responsibility to replace those lights.
