The Beulah I-10 Interchange Project includes plans to enhance connectivity between Escambia County and Santa Rosa County.

This will accommodate present and future growth, and will function as a hurricane evacuation route for both counties. When complete, the Beulah I-10 Interchange will greatly enhance economic development within Escambia County by providing interstate access to industrial property, retail establishments, educational institutions, and health care facilities, and will create a vital additional evacuation route.
Adding the Beulah I-10 Interchange project to the FL-AL TPO Priority Project List entitles Escambia County to request additional State funding. |

Recommendation Concerning a Resolution Concerning Perdido Key Drive Roadway Expansion - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board take the following action concerning Perdido Key Drive (SR 292):
A. Adopt the Resolution requesting U.S. Senator Bill Nelson to engage the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for approval of a cross-section of the Perdido Key Drive (SR 292) Roadway Expansion Project addressing safety and capacity issues, for mitigation of the Perdido Key Beach Mouse (PKBM); and
B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution.
Escambia County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) have proposed the expansion of a portion of Perdido Key Drive (SR 292) in order to address current and future traffic safety and capacity issues. Perdido Key Drive has an average of one crash every 13 days. In 2006 Escambia County and FDOT entered into a Transportation Regional Incentive Program Agreement (TRIP) to fund a Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) study of Perdido Key Drive. As part of the PD&E, the County and FDOT prepared a Biological Assessment detailing the purpose of this project, assessing any potential impacts related to the natural environment, and proposing conservation measures intended to mitigate such impacts.
The County has agreed to implement the conservation measures set forth in one of the 20 cross-sections provided to offset potential environmental impacts arising out of the project. This project has been extraordinarily delayed through the environmental review process, with no decision from USFWS rendered to date. |

That the Board take the following action concerning the acceptance of property on Guidy Lane from Hillcrest Baptist Church of Pensacola, Inc. (Hillcrest), for road and drainage improvements:
A. Authorize Staff to negotiate and resolve any matters related to or associated with the acceptance of two parcels of property (1.0 acre pond parcel and 0.16 acres road right-of-way for a total of 1.16 acres) from Hillcrest Baptist Church of Pensacola, Inc., for the Guidy Lane Drainage Project, and to gather information and conduct inspections as needed to allow the Board’s acceptance of the real property;
B. Authorize payment of $15,534.20 as reimbursement to Hillcrest Baptist Church of Pensacola, Inc., for their documented costs for recent upgrades and improvements to the retention pond parcel;
C. Authorize payment of incidental expenditures and documentary stamps because these properties are being acquired for governmental use, which is for road right-of-way and stormwater retention purposes, and the County benefits from these acquisitions because they facilitate the installation of road and drainage improvements which will result in a more safe and efficient roadway, enhancing the quality of life for the citizens of Escambia County; and
D. Authorize Staff to prepare and the Chairman or Vice Chairman to accept the Deed as of the day of delivery and to acknowledge the Board’s acceptance at that time, subject to Legal review and sign-off, necessary to complete the acquisition without further action of the Board.
[Funding Source: Fund 352, "LOST III", Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56101/56301, Project #12EN2055 "Guidy Lane"]
The area of Guidy Lane north of Nine Mile Road has a history of stormwater drainage problems, due in part to not having adequate retention areas. The County has a project in design to alleviate some of the problems, which will require the acquisition of property for retention pond purposes and additional right-of-way. Hillcrest owns property on both sides of Guidy Lane. One parcel of property, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Guidy Lane and Nine Mile Road, is being utilized as a retention pond. The County has identified a need for this property to facilitate the drainage project, as the property has sufficient footage to expand the existing pond area. The pond was not functioning properly until recently, when Hillcrest completed upgrades and improvements to bring the retention pond into compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulations.
Prior to and during the pond upgrade work, several discussions were held between County Engineering staff and Hillcrest concerning this property. During those discussions, Hillcrest indicated that they would agree to convey the pond property and any additional right-of-way to the County if the County would reimburse the documented costs of $15,534.20 for bringing the pond into compliance. |

The new roadway, referred to as the Escambia County Beltway, would be approximately 10.6 miles in length and would connect directly to the proposed interchange. The study will be conducted in two phases. Phase I will consist of developing and evaluating alternative beltway corridors with the objective of recommending corridors in which to locate alternative alignments. Typical section alternative development will begin in Phase I, and will conclude in Phase II with the development of the typical section package. Phase I will also evaluate the multiple interchange alternatives developed as part of the I-10/Beulah Preliminary Interchange Proposal Study in relation to the various Beltway corridors. Alternative alignments within the preferred/selected corridor will be developed and evaluated in Phase II of the PD&E Study. Also during Phase II, the consultant will finalize development of a typical section for a four-lane, controlled access highway (expressway) without bicycle and sidewalk facilities.

It is undetermined at this time if the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will reimburse any costs associated with this project.
