' e P( 6P'�GE ��8 SSP � �� BOO 3. the offset Holiday Inn driveway in relation to the 88th Avenue median cut east of the site promotes westbound traffic cutting across the eastbound lane in the wrong direction to gain access; and 4. the current eastbound left -turn deceleration and storage lane for 88th Avenue is substandard in size. This analysis caused staff to conclude that adding additional traffic volume to an already bad situation would only cause it to worsen. Currently, it is estimated that the Holiday Inn motel and... 7-11 store are attracting a total of 1,607 annual average daily trips. The First Inn Vero motel and restaurant are expected to attract a total of 612 additional annual average daily trips, bringing the expected total of trips to 2,219. The staff recommended and the Planning and Zoning Commission. agreed that the subject site plan should not be approved without provisions for the necessary traffic improvements to be made prior to CO. Several alternatives for financing the improvements were also suggested by staff. One alternative suggested by the staff was for the applicant to pursue County initiation of a forced petition, whereby the cost of the median improvements would be shared by all the businesses involved. Such a petition would necessitate County Commission action authorizing assessment of benefitting properties to pay for the improvements. In this way, the improvements could be constructed, safety could be enhanced, and each benefitting property_would pay its share. This course of action was supported by the Planning and Zoning Commission in their motion of approval for this project: On MOTION by Ben Baily, SECONDED by Ruth Stanbridge, the Commission unanimously approved the Weiman request for site -plan approval for a 31 unit motel and free-standing restaurant at 8799 20th Street with the conditions as outlined in the memorandum and also recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the idea of a "forced petition" be looked at that will give relief to First Inn Vero, Inc. in that they are a part of this problem and not the entire problem. (Minutes of the July 24, ' 1986 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting). RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners deny the appeal of Carter Associates, Inc. on behalf of*Reinhold and Gettrude Weiman, and affirm the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission in approving the subject --_site plan with the conditions attached including l.a., and 2.c. The staff also recommends that the Board consider initiatinga forced, assessment for benefitting properties to finance the necessary median and roadway improvements in the vicinity of the subject property. Dean Luethje of Carter Associates spoke in favor of a forced special assessment, and Public Works Director Jim Davis preferred that the design of the median cut be the responsibility of the developer, with the County staff simply doing the assessment roll and holding the public hearing. This would be a 100% assessment with no County contribution. Chairman Scurlock noted that the median improvements still would have to be approved by County staff. 30
