documents from the State of Florida indicating the presence or absence of a Murphy Act Easement along 1T" Street S.W. The Thoroughfare Plan classifies 27' Avenue as an urban collector which requires 130' of right-of-way. Since there is 50' of r -o -w existing, the applicant will need to dedicate, without compensation, 5' of fee simple right-of-way to complete the site's local road fairshare of 60'. The site's 27' Avenue frontage is covered by a Murphy Act Easement, which extends 100' into the site. Therefore, no additional right-of- way beyond the 5' dedicated area is needed from the site. The plan does not propose any improvements within the Murphy Act Easement, and provides for appropriate setbacks from the Murphy Act easement line. The Thoroughfare Plan classifies 43`d Avenue as a major rural collector, which requires 100' of right-of-way. Since there is a 100' canal right-of-way between 43rd Avenue and the subject site, no additional right-of-way is necessary from the subject site for 43'd Avenue. 12. Traffic Circulation: The applicant is proposing the project's primary access to be from 43'd Avenue (major rural collector), with a second access to 27' Avenue (urban collector) in a later phase. The Public Works Director has indicated that he will not approve direct access to 43'd Avenue, but will allow the applicant to construct a portion of 17' Street S.W. to gain access to 43"d Avenue via 17' Street S.W. Based on LDR sections 952.12(2)(a) and 952.12(2)(g), the Public Works Director has discretion in approving requests for multiple access connections to a project. The applicant is seeking to have the 431 Avenue entrance approved as shown, and proposes direct access to it. As stated previously, the Planning and Zoning Commission agreed with the applicant on this point. It is the opinion of the Public Works Director that the project access be from 27' Avenue and 17t° Street SW only. Planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the applicant provide a connection to 17' Street SW, and the applicant is agreeable to providing a connection to 17' Street SW in addition to the private driveway connection to 43'd Avenue that is shown on the conceptual plan. Again, the private connection to 431 Avenue is not acceptable to the Public Works Director. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been reviewed by the county's traffic engineering division. The TIA is based on the proposed connection to 43'd Avenue as depicted on the proposed plans. The traffic engineering division has not approved the TIA since it is based on a 43'd Avenue connection. Therefore, if the 43id Avenue connection is not approved, the TIA will need to be revised to reflect the revised connection locations. Based upon the TIA that has been reviewed, the following improvements could be required. 1. A south bound left turn lane on 43'd Avenue at the project entrance. 2. A south bound right -tum land on 27" Avenue at the project entrance. These improvements will need to be constructed when the proposed access points are constructed, if said access points are approved. 13. Utilities: Connection to public water and wastewater, and utilization of reuse water are required and proposed by the applicant. These utility provisions have been approved by the Health Department and the County Department of Utility Services. The applicant will extend water, sewer, and reuse water improvements to serve the site pursuant to separate utility 1IF -52- • 0
