Mr. Rumpf stated it is common policy for un-I ~dscaped medians to require the adjacent developers to provide for the medians, r. Rossi reminded the Board that there were originally four lanes on SW 30th Street id the early 1980's. The lot he is selling to the petitioner is the last lot remaining in th; Lawson Industrial area. Mr. Rossi stated [hat the petitioner's property only repre., ;nts one- sixteenth of the median that would be benefiting all the property owners and ! ~e cost of landscaping the median should be borne by all adjacent owners. Also, Mr. R( ;si stated that this requirement should have been provided for during the platting proce,, ~ and not at this late date and suggested that the property owners' association be appr ached to share in the cost.

Mr McCraney said he would be glad to participate with the other property owner~, but it is something that should be sh~'ed thr(~ugh the assoc ation and that he should ~nly have to be responsib e for one-sixteenth of the median.
