Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the traffic level at Old <br />Dixie and 1st Street S.W., and Director Davis believed it was <br />somewhere around L.O.S. "D" or "C". Basically, he did not know <br />of any problems there due to the fact that 1st Street does not <br />continue west of Old Dixie. <br />Chairman Scurlock understood that if this Board took the <br />position of not allowing co -mingling of traffic on the <br />entranceway or allow the restriction of turns, the developer <br />would exceed the transportation levels, and, therefore, the only <br />recourse for the Commission is to deny the appeal. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that the only safe way to get <br />the people in and out of the proposed shopping center onto U.S. <br />#1 is a signal at the entrance to the shopping center, but the <br />DOT is adverse to that at this time.

He <br />emphasized that they are here on an appeal ot a site plan and not <br />here on a political judgmental decision from the Board. <br />Chairman Scurlock interjected that neither is the Board. <br />The Board is here to listen to the facts. <br />Attorney O'Haire maintained that if the applicant complies <br />with all the criteria set forth in the ordinance, he has a right <br />30 <br />LPR 5 1988 <br />BOOK 71 PAGE 459 <br />
