11-15-1990 Regular Meeting • • MINUTES LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 15, 1990 The Public Hearing of the Local Planning Agency meeting was called to order by John Sargent on November 15, 1990 at 7:15 P.M. Members present were James Brown, Marilyn George, Don Smith and Edward Ivey. Members Bonnie Kranz, Adelbert Evans, Carlos Solis, and Peter Bert#onaschi were excused. Also attending were Wayne Saunders City Manager, Lanny Harker Planning Director and Mimi Rauch Planning Technician. MINUTES of the meetings held October 8 and October 15, 1990, were accepted as presented. Mr. Sargent invited the public attending to give any comments or questions they might have regarding these elements. Traffic Element Mr. Harker noted that the Traffic element defines the existing situation, then looks at the future by doing an analysis of the existing conditions, and then projects what needs the City might have to deal with in the future. Mr. Sargent asked if there was any separation made as to cars versus trucks and the impacts that the different vehicles have. Mr. Harker stated that the FDOT, as far as level of service, does not separate the types of vehicles using the road. Further discussion followed regarding the Traffic Element and the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Element. In regards to Policy 2-2, Mr. Sargent asked who would pay for the traffic count program that is to be instituted by 1993. Mr. Harker stated that the cost would probably be to the City on the local collector roads. The County Engineering Department and the County Planning Department are currently implementing counts on the FDOT urban collector roads. Mr. Saunders noted that this would not be a very expensive project. Mr. Sargent asked, regarding Policy 2-4, if this policy means that the last developer to come in that trips the level of service to a lower level will be the one to pay, regardless of the other developments that currently exists along that same road. Mr. Saunders stated that this was correct, this would be done basically on a first come, first serve basis. Mr. Harker noted that this policy is essentially saying that the City will not reserve capacity for development. Mr. Jay VanDerMeer stated, in regards to Policy 2-6, that if the City was going to require all developers to provide traffic flow for both motorized and non-motorized vehicles, the City would have to provide the same. Mr. Saunders agreed that the City should do the same, and the City would where new construction is concerned. However, the City should not have to retrofit the existing. • • Mr. VanDerMeer stated that he is all for a developer paying his way, but that he does not feel that it would be fair to make him pay for both sidewalks and a bicycle path throughout an entire project. Especially if that project does not link with any of these same improvements that the City has done. After further discussion, it was decided to have a continuation of this public hearing on November 20, 1990 at 7:00 p.m., at which time the Public Facilities Element would be discussed. The meeting was adjourned. John argent, Ch irman ATTEST: Mim Hauch, lanning Technician
