AUG 2 2 BOOK I PAGE 71 At this time, the developer anticipates requestinty a Certificate of Occupancy for the center's Publix grocery store by September 1,1989. The design for the Oslo widening..has been started with completion pending right-of-way acquisition. Staff is currently working with the Helseth family to resolve right-of-way and design issues. The capacity of the Oslo/Old Dixie intersection needs improvement in order to provide adequate traffic control prior to completion of the widening project. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Implement a temporary four-way stop at the intersection. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices makes this interim measure available where a signal is warranted, and urgently needed, until a signal can be installed. A four-way stop was installed in a similar situation at the Old Dixie/4th Street intersection when the Wal-Mart store opened in 1987. The stopping sight distance for vehicles eastbound on Oslo Road will warrant two preliminary advance notification signs. Alternative No. 2 The developer would provide and install a traffic signal prior to issuance of any Certificates of Occupancy. This signal would have to be modified when intersection widening improvements are conducted. RECOMMENDATION Alternative No. 1 is recommended. Adequate stopping sight distance is available on Oslo Road(see attached letter). A flashing beacon is already in use which can easily be changed to red lenses for traffic on Oslo Road. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissi-oner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation of Alternative No. 1 as set out the above memo.
