A.

All vehicle use areas shall be graded for proper drainage and shall be surfaced so as to provide a durable and dustless surface including, but not limited to, a gravel, concrete, pervious pavement or bituminous concrete surface. Where practical, pervious pavement should be utilized.

3.

(Ord. No. 11-01, § 2, 1-10-2011)

A.

The main intent of access management is the reduction of conflict points and improvement of traffic circulation. The measurable improvements to the road system resulting from access management include reducing the number and severity of accidents, increasing highway capacity, and decreasing travel time. These goals can be achieved by a number of means, including but not limited to:

1.

Limiting the number of conflict points that a vehicle experiences in its travel.

2.

Separating conflict points as much as possible where they cannot be completely eliminated.

3.

Removing slower turning vehicles which require access to adjacent sites from the traffic lanes of through vehicles.

4.

Requiring cross-access between development parcels.

B.

Driveway design and spacing requirements.

1.

One driveway on any local road shall be permitted for ingress/egress purposes for any project, including a single-family lot. No driveway access to any local road shall have a turning radius of less than 25 feet.

2.

For projects proposing more than one driveway on a county road, the developer must provide a copy of the driveway/access management application and approval permit or letter from the county. For projects proposing one or more driveways on a FDOT road, the developer must provide a copy of the driveway/access management application and approval permit or letter from FDOT.
