EAST COUNTY — Less congestion and slower speeds may not seem like traffic scenarios that work together.

But the Florida Department of Transportation and Manatee County Public Works department are mulling two East County roundabouts for State Road 64 that would slow drivers without causing a traffic jam.

After receiving a few phone calls from concerned residents, the county is deciding what to do about the intersection of Rye Road and State Road 64. It conducted a study to determine if a traffic light and/or a rightturn lane would address callers’ concerns about high speeds, congestion and the difficulty of turning from the two intersec-

tions onto the busy roadway.

According to the federal guidelines for traffic-control devices, the number of vehicles traveling on the roads per day — about 14,000 on State Road 64 and 3,000 on Rye Road — warrants action, whether a traffic light or other device, said Sage Kamiya, deputy director of traffic management for the Public

Works department.

During its research over the last few months, FDOT also added the Lorraine Road intersection to its radar. FDOT officials, though, don’t think traffic lights will help the intersection’s traffic issues.

DEVELOPMENT

by Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor

Medallion moves forward with dairy site Founder and owner Carlos Beruff says development should start in about 18 months.

EAST COUNTY — Medallion Home founder and owner Carlos Beruff pushes a 21-page, paperclipped stack of black-and-white copies across his desk.

The pile may be small, but the feat it represents is not: 21 months of litigation between multiple parties ended.

The document, an amended and restated local development agreement, paves the way for Medallion to develop a 289-acre parcel off Upper Manatee River Road, best known as the Moore’s Dairy site, and it ends a nearly three-year dispute between Medallion Home, Lennar Homes

and Manatee County.

“It was the right thing to do,” Beruff said of the agreement, which cleared up title issues related to a previous foreclosure (see related story on page 8).

“The county gets a critical road for the future — an alternative to State Road 64. It was all about

who pays for what and that takes time.”

Medallion will develop the property as its own development, not part of Heritage Harbour. The property already is approved for up to 735 units.

NEWSBRIEFS + Manatee County considers an East County water park Manatee County will consider bringing a regional-type water park facility, complete with a roller coaster and a wave pool, to the East County.

Commissioners today considered a request by the Central Economic Development Center, a Bradenton nonprofit, for a roughly $20 million facility to be constructed at Tom Bennett Park.

“My first thought about this is Tom Bennett Park is not fully utilized the way we’d hoped,” Commissioner Vanessa Baugh said. “I think this is a great opportunity for Manatee County to have a water park. This would be a great asset.”

Commissioners directed staff to draft a request for proposals for a water park. The park site would be a longterm lease.

+ School District mulls over security options Although the Manatee County School District has been putting off a final decision on whether to bring security officers to area elementary schools, it will make a decision soon.

On Tuesday night, the district is discussing a contract with security personnel, similar to middle and high schools’ schoolresource officers. The idea has been in the works for the two months, but was put on hold after School Board members voiced concerns about not having sufficient time to review the contract.

AST COUNTY — The farmers market held Aug. 30 on Lakewood Ranch Main Street was a trial run to gauge community support for bringing a market back after a three-year hiatus.

The event’s more than 1,000 attendees made the decision an easy one: The market is here to stay.

In an agreement with Lakewood Ranch Commercial Realty, which manages Main Street, Jen’s MarketPlace will hold a farmers market Sept. 27, Oct. 18, Nov. 22 and Dec. 20.

The hours, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will stay the same for now. But Main Street Property Manager Amanda Vercheski thinks the market might receive an even better turnout if it’s held earlier in the morning, because of rising temperatures in the afternoon during the summer, she said.

The market also plans to add more vendors and expand further down Main Street. The 10 to 12 vendors the market will add to its lineup include those selling fruits and vegetables as well as some offering jewelry. After about two hours, the vendors at the Aug. 30 market nearly ran out of produce.

“The only not completely positive feedback I received was that there weren’t enough fruit and vegetables,” Vercheski said.

To accommodate the more than 25 vendors scheduled to come to the next market later this month, the event will expand to the intersection near Michelle Wise’s store, Unleashed for Pets.

Jen’s MarketPlace organizer and owner Jennifer McCafferty hopes the additional vendors will help match the demand of patrons who want to buy homegrown health foods.

“I’d say about 98% of the feedback I received was positive,” McCafferty said. “But, I had people ask about products we hadn’t brought in yet, like soaps and jewelry. Others said the market was sort of small and that we didn’t have enough vegetables by the time they showed up in the afternoon.

Hopefully, by adding another vegetable vendor, we can prevent that; we weren’t expecting so many people, though. This was the largest turnout we’ve had.”

After the market ended, vendors also

made shopping lists, noting which items sold and which were less popular.

For McCafferty, who operates three other fresh markets in Apollo Beach and in Largo, the turnout was the largest she has seen at any of her markets.

She credits the high turnout to marketing, in which she has a background and college degree, although she only had about three weeks to organize the event.

Vendors from McCafferty’s other locations sent email blasts to customers to help generate attention to the East County

location. Community interest from individuals who wanted to see the market have better and more sustainable results than its predecessors played the largest role.

McCafferty said as she looks to grow the variety of vendors, she will keep the market’s focus on fresh, high-quality produce.

But for now, she’s pleased with the results of her first effort.

“The turnout was quite amazing,” McCafferty said. I expected maybe 500 to 800 people for the first market. We doubled my expectations.”

gate security measures

Homes replacing a former marina have some residents questioning security measures and its number of gates.

THE DAILY HEADLINES

Development changes to Heritage Harbour are prompting residents to consider consolidating their gates and boosting their security presence.

Manatee commissioners unanimously approved a request by Lennar Development, the community’s developer, to nix longterm plans for a 12-acre marina and 6,000-square-foot commercial property from its River Strand project within Heritage Harbour at a land use meeting Sept.

4.

Modifications to the amended development agreement approved last week call for 100 townhomes to be built in place of previous plans for a 60-bed assisted-living facility. The site of the marina is now the future home of 11 single-family lots.

Heritage Harbour resident Paul Bondi expressed concern that another Lennar community will give Heritage Harbour a fifth gate for a community that currently has about 300 single-family homes.

Bondi said an effort to reduce the number of gates to one main gate at the entrance will offer more control and security, will reduce crime and save residents money.

“Longterm, safety and security are important,” Bondi said. “We’ve had 10 burglaries related to issues with gate access and we need to fix that.”

Commissioner Vanessa Baugh, a resident

of Lakewood Ranch, said if residents want more security control of the gates and the roads moving forward, residents will need to pay off any road debt and have the ownership transferred from the community development association to the homeowner association.

Before that can happen though, the Florida Legislature must amend a bill to allow the transfer of ownership from a CDD to a homeowner association.

Lakewood Ranch residents are investigating such an effort that could help other communities like Heritage Harbour have more control of gates.

Heritage Harbour residents in attendance at the land-use meeting last week, meanwhile, expressed displeasure the 462-boat slip marina was disappearing from the plans.

“Many of us bought property here because of the promise of a marina,” said Heritage Harbour resident David Gutierrez.

Grimes, however, said a public dock wasn’t in the company’s plans, noting that homes built on the property would include docks for the homeowners.

No density increase, though, is being proposed as part of Lennar’s changes.

The commission urged residents and Lennar to work together as changes in the community occur.

Lighthouse Cove also requested the addition of 12 speed bumps throughout the community.

The CDD didn’t approve speed bump installations, which can cost up to $3,500 each, partially because of the greater need for speed deterrents in other parts of the community, such as Stoneybrook.

The CDD requested Schappacher research which areas of Heritage Harbour would benefit most from the speed bumps and to bring back estimates for installing four speed bumps in the community.

The CDD has also discussed the idea of having an official monitor speeding in Heritage Harbour a few times per week and issue tickets.

HERITAGE HARBOUR — Rick Schappacher remembers his frustration when he saw cars zip past his house, obviously going faster than the speed limit, when his children were young.

The Heritage Harbour South Community Development District engineer sympathizes with parents of young children who are upset with neighborhood speeders.

“To me, anything over the speed limit is a problem,” Schappacher said. “My kids are grown now, but I didn’t like it when people were flying through my neighborhood, either.”

Schappacher manages the two speed radar signs that rotate throughout Heritage Harbour and are currently stationed in Lighthouse Cove.

The signs’ generated reports showed maximum speeds up to 40 mph on the community’s 25 mph streets with an estimated total vehicle count of 5,500 drivers.

The reports showed about 15 cars sped through the monitored zones in a twoweek period.

As a result of residents’ concerns of speeders in the community and reports generated from speed radar signs, the speed limit will decrease from 25 to 20 mph in Lighthouse Cove. The signs weren’t changed as of last week, but the supervisors hope the change will take effect as soon as possible.

At Holiday, we’ve built a lifestyle with you in mind so you can spend time doing the things you love knowing things are in good hands.

Neighborhood water bodies provide an essential function.

A group of residents wants to make sure everyone knows it.

So rest assured that Holiday Retirement communities have special touches with you in mind.

DID YOU KNOW? Stormwater retention ponds are designed to help prevent flooding and to remove pollutants from the water before it can drain into a main source.

Wetlands are considered Florida’s original stormwater system. The areas once covered more than half of Florida. tal areas healthy that Greenbrook Village resident Marcine Pryor believes is missing.

“People don’t have a clue about (the dangers of) grass clippings getting in the water,” Pryor said. “I see people doing their own landscaping. They just don’t know.”

Residents who attended the meeting brainstormed other methods of communication, such as crafting pamphlets and brochures that highlight best practices.

To Greenbrook Village resident Pat Noles, more direct methods of education and enforcement are needed to change homeowners’ minds about altering the way their landscapers maintain lawns and neighborhoods.

“Voluntary compliance doesn’t work,” Noles said. “You can have all the barbecues you want, but when you say, ‘Please don’t do this,’ people will keep doing it until they get caught.”

For Monaghan, the group’s existence shows a community interest in playing a role in the health of the pollution filtration systems.

“It’s encouraging to see this turnout for the first meeting,” Monaghan said.

EAST COUNTY — Some Lakewood Ranch residents know the water in their neighborhoods as their community lake, or view their home as lakefront property.

However, these water features serve another, more important purpose: They are responsible for holding and filtering stormwater before it moves downstream. This function makes keeping pollutants out of the water an important job for all residents living nearby.

A group of 11 concerned citizens met Sept. 3 at Lakewood Ranch Town Hall to discuss how best to inform their neighbors and the public on best practices to accomplish this job. The primary offenders? Improper fertilizer application and allowing grass clippings to enter the ponds.

The group is the first step toward implementing recommendations from University of Florida researchers Emily Ott and Paul Monaghan, who visited Lakewood Ranch in July and attended the recent meeting.

As part of UF’s Agricultural Education and Communication department, the duo help drive education efforts to improve water quality.

To help educate the community, the task force discussed hosting barbecues and other social events, to which they will invite landscape vendors and residents. At the events, organizers will meet with the vendors to ensure they are following regulations spelled out by the county, such as not using fertilizers containing phosphorous.

The group is centered on awareness — the piece of the overall puzzle of keeping local ponds, wetlands and other environmen-

Timelines and prices have not been discussed because the projects are still in preliminary discussion stages.

“Whenever we are considering traffic signals, we’re also considering roundabouts,” said Robin Stublen, communications specialist for FDOT. “Those should be considered at the same time.

If an area doesn’t warrant a traffic signal, not always, but often, roundabouts will work. They are not the cure-all, fix-all, but they reduce accidents and slow people down.”

County Public Works Department Director Ron Schulhofer is waiting for FDOT to finish its evaluation of both areas before making a decision. He expects to review the results and for the groups to possibly make a decision by early 2015.

“I’m waiting to see FDOT’s report before making a decision,” Schulhofer said. “But the roundabouts on 75th Street and 53rd

Lennar, developer of the neighboring Heritage Harbour community to the west, had bonded about $2.3 million to construct the extension of Port Harbour Parkway east to Upper Manatee River Road, in a straight line along the northernmost boundary of the property, once Heritage Harbour’s development warranted it.

Per the new agreement, Medallion now can alter the configuration of the roadway, which Beruff says will better serve everyone.

But, Beruff says he’s not in a hurry to develop, because the property already is paid off.

PARTING SHOT

Fourteen-year-old Drew Bavaro recently earned a scholarship to attend Cardigan Mountain School in Canaan, N.H. LAKEWOOD RANCH — Drew Bavaro skated around the ice and maneuvered past defenders at the Tampa Bay Times Forum with ease.

Gaining speed and momentum with each stride, the then 8-year-old shuffled his stick back and forth across the ice.

Bavaro With only the goalkeeper standing between

him and his third goal of the period, Bavaro quickly slapped a shot into the corner of the net.

With his older brother, Vito, looking on, the younger Bavaro hoisted his stick in the air as the ThunderBug, the Tampa Bay Lightning mascot, lifted him up in celebration.

Bavaro scored three goals in the game, one more

than his brother. At that point, Bavaro realized a sport that had initially been all fun and games could eventually pave the way for his future.

Turning to his brother for inspiration, the now 14-yearold Gulf Coast Flames Bantam AA defender put his time and effort into training and traveling the East Coast in search of competition.

In doing so, Bavaro began

Cardinal Mooney’s Cal Davidson Turner finished fifth overall at the Holloway Park Jamboree Sept. 6, crossing the finish line in 16:59.20.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — A brightly colored poster board hangs on the wall in The Out-of-Door Academy girls locker room. It spells out Stefanie Betz’s goals for the season.

Betz’s goals, or “steps to success” as she often refers to them, are simple: Play together, play hard and play smart.

The first-year volleyball head coach knew she wanted to challenge her players. So, on one of the first days of practice, the Lady Thunder laced up their running shoes and went to the track.

Betz challenged the players to run a mile in 8 minutes, 15 seconds. The girls

begrudgingly accepted the challenge and before long they were pushing one another toward the finish line.

“It was so cool to see them work together and struggle through that,” Betz says. “I’m excited. It’s a new challenge.

“I’ve got a great group of kids who work extremely hard and are doing anything you ask of them,” Betz says. “They’ve exceeded my expectations every step of the way.”

Seeking to add to its district championship banner, ODA (3-2) opened its district season with a 259, 25-18, 25-8 victory over Imagine High Sept 4. In ad-

dition to district foes Cardinal Mooney and St. Stephen’s, Betz also scheduled volleyball powerhouses Venice, Lakewood Ranch and Charlotte as a way to test her players throughout the season.

“Those matches might not end in a win, but it’s better for the program to challenge kids early on and put them in those pressure situations,” she says.

A former youth softball player, Betz, a Texas native, opted for air conditioning in eighth grade and decided to join her school’s basketball and volleyball teams. Although it didn’t take long for Betz to realize the volleyball court was

where she was meant to be.

“I love how fast-paced it is and the immediate gratification that comes from scoring a point,” Betz says.

“It’s really intense. I just loved it.

“Coaching is the same way,” Betz says. “It’s fun seeing the kids learn how to work together and celebrate their successes.”

Betz went on to play volleyball at Western Carolina University before attending graduate school at Clemson.

But it wasn’t until she moved to Florida in 2006 that the former middle hitter was reintroduced to the game she loved. Betz competed in an adult tour-

nament at the urging of a friend and soon realized she was still meant to be on the court.

“All of the sentiment, the excitement and the enjoyment all came back,” Betz says.

Betz soon began coaching at the Venetian Bay Volleyball Club before joining Brian Wheatley’s staff at Venice High in 2007. Betz spent the next six years helping coach the Lady Indians before accepting her first head-coaching job at ODA this year.

The Lady Thunder captured its first district championship in six years last season, and with nine seniors returning this season, Betz is looking forward to building upon last season’s success.

“They’ve started a tradition here and the seniors are a great group,” Betz says. “When I started, I wanted them to know they were a part of something and can impact the future of the program.”

+ Mustangs fall short in two overtimes Lakewood Ranch made threeconsecutive defense stands to force overtime, but the host Mustangs failed to reach the end zone in double overtime as it fell to Tampa Jesuit 27-24.

Lakewood quarterback Chad Rex connected with junior wide receiver Trevor Losada for a pair of touchdowns, including an 80-yard strike to tie the game at 14-14 with 2 minutes, 10 seconds left in the third quarter.

Rex also scored on a 10-yard run on the Mustangs’ opening possession in overtime. Patrick Atkins added a field goal in double overtime.

Daymon Murray intercepted Tampa Jesuit quarterback Trent Wessel in the end zone early in the fourth quarter to help force overtime, but the Tigers scored touchdowns on both of their overtime possessions.

“I was happy because our kids played really hard,” coach Mick Koczersut says. “It was anybody’s chance. We kept fighting, and that’s what we’ve been talking about, trying to finish things. It didn’t work out for us, but hopefully, from a lesson standpoint, we’ll keep talking about the finish and play hard all the way through. That’s going to make a difference down the season.”
