Initiated by the County Engineer, this change would replace the current LDR requirement for a signed and sealed soils suitability certificate with a requirement for submittal of a plan for removing unsuitable soils on a project site. PSAC members agreed that the proposed change represents a cheaper way of addressing the soils suitability issue. Reference: PSAC meeting summary: 12/15/94 (attachment #3, p. 5).

Initiated by the County Engineer, references in Chapters 952 and 954 to individuals within Public Works, such as the County Engineer and the County Traffic Engineer, would instead be referred to as "the Public Works Director or his designee".

Based upon discussions at a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting last fall, the County Engineer has proposed an amendment that would reduce from 11' to 10' the minimum driveway lane width for residential projects with fewer than 1,500 average daily trips (ADT). The County Engineer's research indicates that such a reduction would be warranted for such projects based upon FDOT standards (Standards Index 700) that would apply to driveways;within'such projects.

The County Engineer initiated an amendment whereby the current tire stop waiver provision would simply be replaced by requirements for tire stops or curbing to protect landscaped and pedestrian areas. Therefore, rather than require a waiver for tire stops used on spaces interior to a parking lot, the amendment would simply allow such spaces to be constructed and used without tire stops.

Classification Standards for Driveways and Minimum Distance& from Rights -of -Way. The current LDRs classify development project driveways by type based on anticipated driveway traffic volume. Driveways are classified as minor, intermediate, or major. For each driveway type, the LDRs require a certain separation distance between the point at which the driveway intersects the right-of-way of the road providing project access and the point where the driveway intersects a parking space or driving aisle accessed by the driveway (see attachment #8). The purpose of the separation distance requirement is to prevent traffic circulation conflicts where vehicles waiting to exit the project site eooK MAY 159 1995 7 95 FA%E 97
