OCT'2 Bou 69 FAu 7.95 (1) Adding 43rd Avenue as a subdivision collector road between 69th Street and 77th Street; (2) Adding 2nd Street as a subdivision collector road between 20th Avenue and Old Dixie Highway. In addition, the staff has received an application requesting that the Thoroughfare Plan be amended as follows: (1) Reclassifying 73rd Street, east of U.S. Highway #1 to the Indian River, from a secondary collector to a subdivision collector. In addition, the staff proposes to re-classify 73rd Street between O1d.Dixie Highway and the Indian River from a secondary collector to a subdivision collector. The Transportation Planning Committee approved 5-0 these requests as presented at their September 9, 1987 meeting. Also, on September 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to approve these requests. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The proposed changes to the functional classification nomenclature for roadways on the Thoroughfare Plan are requested in order to provide a better description for the actual function of the roadways, to be consistent with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) classifications, and to designate a new class of road called subdivision collector. The requested addition to the Thoroughfare Plan of 43rd Avenue between -69th Street and 77th Street as a subdivision collector is proposed in order to ensure access to individual parcels of property in the area. Also, 43rd Avenue is necessary to provide proper access for proposed future development in the area. - Adding 2nd Street between 20th Avenue and Old Dixie Highway as a subdivision collector is proposed due to the fact that this street is functioning and is designed as a subdivision collector at the present time. The re-classification of 73rd Street, east of U.S. Highway #1 to the Indian River from a secondary collector to a subdivision collector has been requested by the applicant. The staff proposes extending the request to include the area east of Old Dixie Highway to the Indian River due to the fact that 73rd Street between 58th Avenue and Old Dixie Highway has previously been deleted from the Thoroughfare Plan to accommodate the County's Sandridge Golf Course. Also, 73rd Street east of U.S. Hwy. #1 does not serve a large enough area of land to generate traffic volumes demanding a secondary collector road. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to transmit this request to the State Department of Community Affairs and to announce their intention to hold a second public hearing concerning this matter. 22
