• 33rd Street is classified as an urban collector requiring 90' of ultimate right-of-way. In this instance, Public Works has agreed to accept 80' of right-of-way, based on the development accommodating stormwater run-off for any future 33rd Street improvements. Presently, 60' of road right-of-way exists for 33rd Street, and the applicant has agreed to dedicate to the County stormwater management rights within the project site and 20' of additional right-of-way for 33rd Street ' without compensation. The right-of-way must be dedicated prior to the issuance of the project's first land development permit. 12. Traffic Circulation: The applicant proposes two gated access points to the project, one on 33rd Street and one on 37th Street. No connection to 58th Avenue is proposed. The 33rd Street driveway will be a full movement driveway that will align with 62"d Avenue, provide initial access to the development, and be served by a westbound right -turn lane. The access and turn lane will be constructed in the project's first phase. The 37th Street driveway will be located on the western portion of the project and will serve as a full movement driveway. This driveway will be improved at an interim level in phase 1 to serve as a construction access driveway during construction of phases 1 — 3, and then will be completely improved as a permanent project entrance in phase 4. An emergency access will need to be approved by Public Works and Emergency Services, and constructed prior to the issuance of a certificate of completion for phase 2. All streets are proposed to be private. All access points and the internal circulation has been approved by Public Works and Fire Prevention. A project traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been reviewed and approved by Traffic Engineering. Based on the development being an age restricted (55 plus) amenitized community, the traffic study used a trip rate similar to the rate used for the Waterway Village project (6 trips per day per residential unit). That reduced rate was applied instead of the standard trip rate used for conventional single-family homes (10 trips per unit). The 6 trips per unit trip rate used to evaluate Harmony Reserve was based on a review of trip data from actual 55 plus projects, including the Woodfield PD, plus a significant safety factor applied by Traffic Engineering. Because a reduced trip rate was used based on the proposed project being developed as a 55+ community with recreational amenities, staff's recommendation includes a condition that the developer register the project with the State of Florida as a 55+ community, and a condition that project amenities (community pool and clubhouse) be constructed prior to phase 2 of the project. Based on the TIA, the following off-site traffic improvements are required: 1. A westbound right -turn lane on 33rd Street at the project entrance (phase 1). 2. A westbound left -turn lane on 37th Street at the project entrance (phase 4). The westbound left -turn lane on 37th Street in phase 4 is subject to an option for the developer to re -analyze the turn lane warrant prior to issuance of a land development permit for phase 4. Unless a re -analysis is approved by Public Works that documents that a westbound left -turn lane on 37th Street at the project entrance is not warranted, the turn lane must be constructed prior to issuance of a certificate of completion for phase 4.
