The Okaloosa County Public Works Department announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 8:30 a.m.

PLACE: Okaloosa County Board of County Commission meeting at the Crestview Courthouse, 101 E. James Lee Boulevard, Crestview, FL 32536

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Okaloosa County will hold a public hearing for the Foy Shaw Parkway which will be a new roadway to provide access from U.S. Highway 90 (East James Lee Boulevard) to the Crestview Bob Sikes Airport.

The hearing will be held Tuesday, June 2, 2015, as an agenda item at the Okaloosa County Board of County Commission meeting at the Crestview Courthouse, 101 E. James Lee Boulevard, Crestview, FL 32536. The Commission meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. (morning meeting). A presentation will be made summarizing the results of the environmental analysis.

A recommendation will be proposed for the selection of Alternative 1 as the Preferred Alternative. Alternative 1 best integrates with the Bob Sikes Airport Plan, minimizes environmental impact to the Piney Woods Creek drainage system, and is the lowest overall cost for construction.

Alternative 1 would construct a new two-lane arterial access road beginning at the existing intersection of State Road (SR) 10 (US 90) and Cavalier Drive and continuing north on a new alignment for approximately 0.80 miles to the intersection of John Givens Road and Skyline Drive. The new roadway typical section would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes and six-foot shoulders (five-foot paved), within a new 150-foot wide corridor. Two stormwater ponds would be provided (approximately 1.5 acres each).

The environmental document will be available for public review from May 18 through June 16 at the Robert L.F. Sikes Public Library, 1445 Commerce Drive, Crestview and at the Okaloosa County Public Works offices. Persons wishing to submit written statements or other exhibits may do so at the public hearing, or by sending them to the consultant Project Manager, Jonathon Burchfield at HDR Engineering, Inc.; 25 West Cedar Street, Suite 200, Pensacola, FL 32502 or via email: [e-mail].

All exhibits or statements must be postmarked on or before June 16, 2015 to be considered part of the official meeting record.
