OBJECTIVE 7 LAND USE COMPATIBILITY The traffic circulation system will be compatible with the land use element and other elements of the comprehensive plan. - NO COMMENT OBJECTIVE 8 COORDINATION The county will have a system which ensures that all transporta- tion requirements, procedures, and improvements are coordinated with all applicable governmental entities responsible for trans- portation -activities. - NO COMMENT Director Keating informed those presented that if they have any questions about how our model works or about how our system works, he would encourage them to ask our Traffic Consultant, Michael Sexton, of Wilbur Smith 8 Associates, who is present. Commissioner Bird expressed concern about requiring duplica- tion of studies, especially if projects are adjacent, and Direc- tor Keating advised our ordinance now requires them to look at the other studies that have been done in the area, and also the threshhold for requiring an impact analysis has increased. Director Davis believed in the future, as we get staffed up and get our model running, it may be possible for the county to do the impact analyses for all new development for a fee. Attorney Doug Kindler wished to know when you ask for a traffic study for any development which impacts greater than 100 on an intersection beyond 1/4 mile, how do you know the impact is 10% unless you already have that study. Public Works Director Davis advised that we have in our files an intersection analysis of every intersection in the county., Attorney Kindler asked how the 1/4 mile boundary was de- termined, and Director Davis explained that it is keyed to the trip generation rate of the new facility. We have a table, and the larger the facility, the larger the radius of the influence.. **** END OF TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENT ***** AUG 2 3 1989 47 BOCK i*
