0 The Thoroughfare Plan depicts an unlabeled thoroughfare east of US #1 that lies between 57'" Street and 65t° Street, and generally aligns with 61' Street, which exists and is labeled as such on the plan west of US #1. The purpose of the unlabeled thoroughfare segment east of US #1 is to provide adequate access to parcels located between US #1 and the Indian River Lagoon. in an area lying between 57' Street and 651h Street. The proposed development consolidates many of these parcels and provides adequate access. For the non -project parcels south of 63rd Street. the applicant will improve 631 Street to provide access to these parcels. Thus, under the proposed PD plan. 63`d Street will be improved and will serve as the unlabeled Thoroughfare Plan road segment for the area east of US #1, lying between 57th Street and 651h Street. In the opinion of planning and attorney's office staff, this proposal is consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan (see attachment #4). 12. Traffic Circulation: The project's proposed primary accesses will be from 63`d Street and either US #1 or 531d Street/Indian River Boulevard. The project will have 2 access connections to 63rd Street. The western connection will serve the proposed 60 lot "Pod K", and provide a secondary access to the overall project. The eastern connection will be the project's primary 631d Street entrance and is integrated into the project's internal road system. For the project's main southern entrance, the developer is proposing two alternative access options. The first option is a connection to US #1 just north of the North Relief Canal; staff views this as the most likely option. The second. and more speculative option is to extend a private roadway south across the North Relief Canal and the Whisper Lakes golf course site and connect that new roadway to 53'd Street at the intersection of 53'd Street and Indian River Boulevard. Either option is acceptable to staff. Approval of the conceptual PD plan will allow either option. A traffic impact analysis MA) has been reviewed and approved by Traffic Engineering. The TIA is based upon the US #1 connection and does not take into account the option of extending a roadway to 53'd Street/Indian River Boulevard. If the connection to 53'd Street/Indian River Boulevard is the option pursued by the applicant, a revised TIA will need to be submitted with the preliminary PD plan. Under such circumstances, the applicant would be required to construct the off-site improvements indicated as a result of the revised TIA. The review of the submitted TIA based on the US #1 entrance design indicates the following improvements are required to address anticipated project traffic impacts: 1. Southbound left -turn lane on US #1 at 631' Street, and 2. Northbound right -turn lane on US #1 at 631d Street, and 3. Northbound right -tum lane on US #1 at the project's southernmost entrance on US #1, and 4. Eastbound right -tum lane on 63' Street at the project's primary 63'd Street entrance. 5. A westbound left -turn lane on 63rd Street at US #1. A developer's agreement will be required to specify and control the timing of these required improvements. This developer's agreement will be brought to the Board of County Commissioners later in the project development process and will need to be approved by the Board prior to the issuance of a land development permit for the project.
