11®OK 04! PAGE 404 60 and US 1), staff proposes that the SR 60 Corridor Plan process be used, whereby county staff is charged with coordinating with MOT and ensuring that county input is given and FDOT plans are reviewed for conformance with the county's aesthetic guidelines. Under such a process, where an FDOT/County maintenance agreement is required or proposed, landscaping design plans would be forwarded to the Board along with the required/proposed maintenance agreement. In regard to county road projects, a similar process should be established where an inter- departmental review is conducted to ensure that landscaping designs are prepared, are in accordance with the county's aesthetic guidelines, and are incorporated into road designs. Such landscaping plans would be forwarded to the Board at the appropriate time in the Board's approval process for the road project. QUESTION #4 FOR THE BOARD: DOES THE BOARD APPROVE THE FDOT ROADWAY PROJECT AND COUNTY ROADWAY PROJECT LANDSCAPING DESIGN REVIEW POLICIES DESCRIBED ABOVE, FOR DESIGNATED CORRIDORS? D. Designating Corridors for Special Right -of -Way Landscaping To date, the Board has targeted three major east -west principal arterial roadways for special corridor planning that includes a county commitment to special landscaping within the public right-of-way. Those three roads are: (1) CR 510 from 66th Avenue to SR A -1-A (plan adopted 1995) (2) SR 60 from 102nd Avenue to 43rd Avenue (plan adopted 1997) Note: within the SR 60 Corridor, the county has committed to special landscaping along 58th Avenue as part of a project to widen 58th Avenue. (3) CR 512 from I-95 eastward (plan to be initiated) Note: the county has committed to special landscaping along CR 512 from 108th Avenue to Roseland Road as part of a project to widen CR 512. In stall's opinion, these roadway segments represent the major east -west entryways into the north and south county communities, and are appropriate for public right-of-way landscaping. Another principal arterial roadway that is a major entryway to the county on its north and south ends is US 1 (see attachment #9). Therefore, in stafs opinion, the Board should designate CR 510, CR 512, SR 60, and US 1 (north and south county entrances) as roadways where the county will consider special public right-of-way landscaping on a project by project basis. QUESTION #5 FOR TBE BOARD: DOES THE BOARD WISH TO DESIGNATE CR 510, CR 512, SR 60, AND US 1 (NORTH AND SOUTH COUNTY ENTRANCES) AS ROADWAYS WHERE THE COUNTY WILL CONSIDER SPECIAL PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY LANDSCAPING ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS? Corridor Planning Aooroaches In addition to special landscaping in public rights-of-way, corridor plans address other, additional aesthetic aspects. The SR 60 corridor plan, for example, addresses several aspects of on-site landscaping, building and architectural requirements, color and graphics restrictions, special freestanding and facade sign regulations, special screening requirements, and median hardscape requirements. To date, two corridor plans have been adopted by the Board: the "Wabasso Corridor 10 September 8, 1997 M M M
