'BOOK 12 ifuuiS4. 1 952.12 ACCESS CONTROL Minimum Separation Requirements for Median(s) (9) Median openings. To assure traffic safety, capacity and control, median openings located within a traffic -way corridor shall be spaced the maximum distance apart that will allow safe and adequate traffic circulation. (b) No median opening shall be spaced at a distance less than six hundred sixty (660) feet from any signalized intersection or me- dian opening, except that median openings may be spaced at a lesser distance based upon a traffic study and impact analysis; but in no case.shall median openings be spaced at less than three hundred thirty (330) feet. Public streets shall be given pri- ority consideration for median openings. (4) Subdivision collector road a street which serves as the principal entrance street of a residential subdivision or provides for traffic circulation within a subdivision. (5) Minor or Local Street a street of limited continuity used primarily for access to abut- ting property, including cul-de-sacs and nonthrough streets. Attorney Henderson advised that Public Works Director Jim Davis feels that this section should not be applicable to this meeting because this median separation requirement is designed for thoroughfare collective roads and not for what he calls a local road. Director Davis also says that it does not have traffic control function and that it serves as an aesthetic function. Attorney Henderson advised that they have some traffic engineers who disagree with those conclusions. Attorney Henderson explained that he filed an appeal under Section 902.07 which contains the procedures that are to be followed in appeals from decisions of the community development director or his designee (in this case, the Public Works Director): 71 July 12, 1994
