change of location of bridge over palatlakaha river between lakes minnehaha and susan
Welborn Daniel appeared before the Board and stated he has talked to the State Road Department about changing the location of this bridge from north of the present bridge to the south side of the present bridge. The State Road Department could have located the bridge in three different locations - where it is now has a drawback; it could be put to the north or south of the existing bridge. Some people are in favor of the southern route, but we now find out it is not going on the south route. If it does go to the south, they can straighten three bad curves, but the north route will not eliminate any curves. Mr. Daniel read a copy of his letter to the State Road Department giving reasons for the bridge to be built south of the present bridge. Mr. Daniel stated that Mr. Dwight Gaines would pay a thousand dollars for repairs as are necessary on the existing bridge across the river occasioned by the necessity of the continued usage of such bridge brought about by the change in routing of the new bridge from the north side of the existing bridge to the south side of the existing bridge.

WHEREAS, objection has been raised by property owners adjacent and near the right of way for the approaches to said bridge to the location of the new bridge on the north side of the present structure and have requested that said proposed bridge be located on the south side of the present structure, because the visibility of the bridge from the approaches, both on the east and west sides, will be better and safer to the traveling public;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lake County, Florida, that the State Road Department be requested to relocate the right of way and the proposed bridge so that said bridge will be south of the existing structure over the Palatlakaha River, and that the alignment of the approaches will coincide with the new location of the bridge.
