P S E P S 1957 BOOK 69 mcE 291 Kings Highway entrance is at least 700 ft. off of SR -60, and pointed out that the left turn arrow was eliminated by the DOT when we submitted the application to modify the signals at that intersection. Commissioner Eggert asked if the lefthand turn arrow could be reinstalled, and Director Davis advised that staff will communicate with the DOT to see if they will permit it. Commissioner Bowman felt that we made a mistake by narrowing Kings Highway down from 4 lanes to 2 at the entrance to 23rd Street and that the 4 lanes should have been extended to 26th Street (Walker Avenue). She felt another mistake is that we should have considered an entire internal.road system for development in this area, and that would have solved the whole problem. Director Davis explained that the reason the transition occurs at 23rd Street instead of at 26th Street is because we do not have the right-of-way north of Rivera Estates, and acquisition of that right-of-way would have been very costly. Commissioners Bowman and Wheeler wished to know if there would be only one access to Kings Highway for this site, and Director Keating stated that would depend on the volume of traffic and what it would warrant. This 4.4 acres is a part of the property to the south which surrounds the bank building. This will be a pretty large site when it comes in for development, and we are anticipating an internal system so that traffic can move between separate facilities. Director Davis reported that Engineering is anticipating that any access to SR -60 would be right turn in and right turn out. We would prohibit left turn movements, which is what was recommended for the bank site just recently. It is that left turn movement when you turning across two directions of traffic that is the most critical and hazardous movement, and we would like to consolidate that movement at one location and prohibit it at others. 30 M
