All subdivisions, streets, lots, tracts and related improvements shall be developed and improved in accordance with the minimum standards and requirements set forth in this Schedule and in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction and Maintenance for Streets and Highways (commonly known as the "Florida Greenbook"), whichever is more restrictive. Many provisions of the Florida Greenbook are phrased as suggestions ("should") instead of requirements ("shall"). The Administrative Official may require a higher standard and interpret the suggestions of the Florida Greenbook as mandatory requirements, when the application of such as a development requirement is based upon an analysis of the unique aspects of a development being of such a nature that such requirement is necessary to protect the safety of the traveling public and is consistent with the application of sound and generally accepted land use planning practices and principles all of which shall be set forth in a development order issued by the Administrative Official.

When a publication containing standards is referred to herein, the reference is to the latest edition of that publication.

Nonconforming properties or access features shall be brought into compliance with this Schedule to the greatest extent practical when the following conditions or circumstances occur:

•

A new driveway permit is requested;

•

An increase in land use intensity or density is requested;

•

A significant change in trip generation is requested; or

•

As changes in road design allow.

Whenever a determination under this Schedule requires, under Florida law, a determination to be made by the City which would require a determination by a licensed professional engineer, such determination shall be made by the Administrative Official upon consulting with City Engineer or an engineering consultant of the City. The City Engineer or engineering consultant, as the case may be, may rely upon the sealed plans or opinion of a Florida licensed engineer. Such determinations shall be made by means of the issuance of a development order issued by the Administrative Official.

Abbreviation:

Wherever in this Schedule the following terms and abbreviations appear, their intent and meaning shall, unless specifically stated otherwise, be interpreted as follows, and the City Clerk, as Code Codifier, may add and delete abbreviations without action by the City Commission upon recommendation by the Administrative Official:

(Ord. No. 4612, § 1(a)(Exh.), 6-28-2021)

A.

Comprehensive Plan Consistency. Proposed streets must be consistent with the Traffic Circulation Plan Element of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, proposed streets shall conform to requirements set forth in Schedule C, Base Building Line and Designated Right-of-Way Lines for specific streets.

B.

Natural Contours. Proposed streets shall be adjusted to the contour of the land so as to produce usable lots and streets of reasonable gradient.

C.

Connectivity.

1.

The street system of a proposed subdivision shall be designed to coordinate with existing, proposed, and planned streets outside of the subdivision while discouraging the use of local streets by cut-through traffic. This may be accomplished by the use of modified grid systems, T-intersections, roadway jogs or other appropriate traffic calming measures within the development.

2.

Wherever a proposed development abuts unplatted land or a future development phase of the same development, street stubs shall be provided as deemed necessary by the City to provide access to abutting properties or to logically extend the street system into the surrounding area consistent with sound engineering and planning practices and principles. All street stubs shall be provided with temporary turn-around or cul-de-sacs unless specifically exempted by the City based upon a finding and determination that the public interest does not require such construction which determination shall be memorialized in a development order. Subsequently, the restoration and extension of the street shall be the responsibility of any future developer of the abutting land.

3.

Subcollector and local residential access streets shall connect with surrounding streets to permit the convenient movement of traffic between residential neighborhoods or facilitate emergency access and evacuation.

4.

Whenever local and minor residential street connections between abutting subdivisions are required by the City, the connecting facility shall be designed to discourage through traffic by nonresidents. This may be accomplished by the following when approved by the City:

a.

Curving the street, whenever practicable, to the extent necessary to avoid roadway segments where higher operating speeds can be attained;

b.

The planned design and posted speed for these vehicular linkages between residential subdivisions to be equal or less than 25 miles per hour;

c.

Encouraging the use of traffic circles, landscape islands, medians and other forms of traffic barriers within the right-of-way as a means of discouraging through traffic by nonresidents.

D.

Street Jogs. Street jogs, or centerline offsets in the horizontal alignment of streets across intersections of less than 200' are prohibited.

E.

Street Intersections. The design and location of intersections shall be consistent with the specifications of the Florida Green Book.

Intersections shall be designed to intersect at right angles where possible and in no case shall intersect at an angle less than 60 degrees.

The connection of more than 2 streets is prohibited except where no alternative reasonably exists as determined by the City.

1.

Spacing for Unsignalized Street Intersections.

a.

The minimum spacing requirements of this section may be reduced upon finding by the City that, given the particular conditions of the proposed development, the minimums cannot be met and such reduction will not compromise operational and safety standards.

b.

An arterial road may intersect an arterial road only if aligned with and extending an existing arterial or at a desirable distance of 1 mile from the intersection of existing arterials.

c.

A collector may intersect an arterial but only if aligned with and extending an existing collector which intersects the arterial or at a desirable distance of 1320' from the intersection of an existing collector and the arterial.

d.

Intersections between local streets and arterials shall be avoided. In cases where they do intersect, the local street shall be aligned with and extending an existing local street which intersects the arterial or at a desirable distance of 660' from any other street intersection.

e.

A collector may intersect another collector only if aligned with and extending an existing collector or at a desirable distance of 660' from the intersection of any other intersection.

f.

A local street may intersect a collector if spaced at a minimum distance of 660' from any other intersection or, in the case of a "T" type intersection, at a desirable distance of 660' from any other street intersection.

g.

A residential street functions only to service a local residential community and does not connect any higher classified roadways.

2.

Spacing for Signalized Intersections. It is desirable that intersections that are to be signalized have spacing specifications that are different from that of non-signalized intersections in order that distances between signals be capable of providing reasonable cycle lengths. The need for signals will be based upon one or more of the warrants included in the MUTCD being satisfied. The following are minimum spacing of signalized intersections for both urban and rural roadways:

F.

Half Streets. Half streets are prohibited.

G.

Street Names. All streets within a subdivision hereafter established shall be named. All street names shall be reviewed under current controlling guidelines. All street names shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Official.

H.

Additional Right-of-Way. A proposed use, development or subdivision that abuts an existing street that does not conform to the minimum right-of-way requirements set forth in this Schedule, shall provide for the dedication of additional right-of-way along either one or both sides of said street so that the minimum right-of-way required by these regulations can be established when a rational nexus exists and a rough proportionality test supports the requirement. Additional right-of-way shall be dedicated to the applicable public entity.

The overlay shall extend a minimum of 12" beyond the existing width of the pavement.

When more than 15 mailboxes are grouped or clustered together, a temporary off-street parking space shall be provided adjacent to the mailboxes. A sign shall be provided designating the parking space as temporary and for the use of persons accessing the mailboxes.

O.

Clear Zone. The clear zone is the total roadside border area starting at the edge of the motor vehicle travel lane, available for safe use by errant vehicles. It is usually the space between the travel lane and the sidewalk. Clear zone shall be provided in accordance with the Florida Green Book. No obstructions, except breakaway items, as defined by FDOT standards, shall be permitted in the clear zone.

P.

Street Trees. Street trees will be permitted only upon approval of the Administrative Official. Additional right of way may be needed in order to locate the street trees out of the clear zone and away from public utilities.

Q.

Design Speed. All new streets shall be designed according to the expected rate of travel by the 90th percentile user, plus a minimum of 5 MPH. The stated design speed shall be shown on the construction plans for the streets. The Administrative Official may require an increased design speed, when it is in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare and is consistent with sound and generally accepted engineering practices and principles.

(Ord. No. 4612, § 1(a)(Exh.), 6-28-2021)

A.

Local Street Types. When a street's right-of-way is not established in Schedule C of these Land Development Regulations, such street shall be classified as a local street. Major local streets that serve to collect and distribute traffic from shorter local streets within a parcel of twenty or more acres in size shall be designated and identified as local collector streets.

E.

Intersection Improvements. Street improvement at intersections shall include the use of a concrete valley gutter in conformity with specifications illustrated on Figure N-3, unless the applicant can demonstrate that there will be no drainage flow across the driveway from adjacent gutters.

F.

Traffic Calming Program. Traffic calming is the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior and improve conditions for nonmotorized street users.

Traffic Calming Criteria:

1.

Roadway must have a documented issue with speeding (observed 85 ^th percentile speed is greater than 10 MPH over posted speed limit).

2.

Minimum/Maximum Roadway Volume: 750 vehicles per day/5,000 vehicles per day (to be determined through existing annual counts, if available, or a new count).

3.

Maximum Speed: The posted speed on the roadway must not exceed 30 MPH.

4.

Homeowner approval for installation (and removal): 65%.

5.

Consider other owners impacted by devices (side streets) on a case by case basis.

6.

Functional spacing of devices (primarily for speed cushions or humps):

A.

300'—400' between devices.

B.

Not on curves/turns.

C.

Minimum of 100' from intersections or curves/turns.

D.

Spacing subject to adjustment for driveways.

7.

Roadway must have driveways that directly access the road.

8.

Roadway must be subject to through traffic - not in a "closed development".

9.

Roadway must not be a principal arterial; minor arterial or major collector roadway must be a local street or minor collector (evaluated on a case by case basis).

10.

Roadway character/location (rural vs. urban) - considered on a case by case basis.

The following measures may be approved by the City:

1.

Speed humps and speed tables. Speed humps and speed tables may be used where the purpose is to reduce speed and calm traffic provided they comply with the following (see Figures N-4a and N-4b):

a.

Speed humps shall be parabolic, curved or sinusoidal in profile, 3"—4" high and 12'—14' long. They shall be used to reduce speeds to no more than 15—20 MPH.

b.

Speed tables shall be flat-topped speed humps, also 3"—4" high, but with a sloped approach taper on each side of a flat top, generally 20'—24' wide. They shall be used to reduce speeds to no more than 20—25 MPH.

c.

Speed tables and humps shall be clearly marked with 8" white thermoplastic across the raised area and motorists have 50' of warning before each speed hump or table by signage either painted on the road or on a post adjacent to the roadway.

2.

Speed Bumps. Speed bumps shall not be used on public or private roadways in Sanford. Speed bumps are severe treatments 3"—6" high and 1—2 feet wide that slow drivers to speeds of less than 10 MPH. Due to their abrupt rise and required low speed they can be a hazard to motorists and bicyclists.

(Ord. No. 4612, § 1(a)(Exh.), 6-28-2021)

A.

Area and Dimensional Requirements. All lots shall comply with applicable area and dimension requirements set forth in Schedules C, D, E, F and J of these Land Development Regulations.

When it is necessary to design a residential subdivision that abuts an arterial or collector, it shall be designed to provide the through-lots along the arterial or collector with access from a frontage road or interior local road. Access rights of these lots to the arterial or collector shall be dedicated to the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the road and recorded with the deed. A decorative wall shall be required at the rear of through lots to buffer residences from traffic on the arterial or collector. The wall shall not be located within the public right-of-way.

G.

Residential Adjacent to Railroads. Where a proposed subdivision contains or is adjacent to a railroad right-of-way, it shall be planned so as to avoid having residential lots front on a street which runs parallel and adjacent to railroad right-of-way.

H.

Block Length. The maximum block length shall be 1,200'.

I.

Water Access. In general, canals and waterways for the purpose of providing access by water to lots within a subdivision shall be prohibited.

J.

Flag Lot Standards.

1.

A flag lot is any lot which does not meet the minimum lot width for the corresponding zoning district at the front property line. Flag lots are prohibited when their effect would be to increase the number of properties requiring direct and individual access connections to any arterial or collector road.

2.

Flag lots may be permitted for residential development, when it is found by the Administrative Official that they are necessary to achieve planning objectives, such as reducing direct access to thoroughfares, providing internal platted lots with access to a residential street, or preserving natural or historic resources, under the following conditions:

a.

Flag lot driveways shall be separated by at least twice the minimum frontage requirement of that zoning district.

b.

The flag lot shall have a minimum frontage width of 20'.

c.

In no instance, shall flag lots constitute more than 10% of the total number of building sites in a recorded plat or 3 lots, whichever is greater.

d.

The lot area occupied by the flag driveway shall not be counted as part of the required minimum lot area of that zoning district.

e.

No more than one flag lot shall be permitted per private right-of-way or access easement.

K.

The means of access is subject to approval by the City and the box must be installed prior to the City's issuance of the certificate of completion for the subdivision infrastructure. If a keypad is used, there shall be a 4 digit code set aside for the Sanford fire department. The code shall be determined by the fire department. A 'Knox' box to override gate access is also required as a back-up system. Any other utilities serving the subdivision must have similar access, and the names of such utilities must be on the outside of the box containing the means of access.

(Ord. No. 4612, § 1(a)(Exh.), 6-28-2021)

Sidewalks shall provide improved surface to serve nonvehicular circulation such as pedestrians and, unless otherwise prescribed by City ordinance, bicycles. Sidewalks shall be designed to be as physically separated from vehicular use areas as possible.

A.

Required Provision. Sidewalks shall be provided on each side of all streets unless it is determined not to be practical by the Administrative Official, based upon sound and generally accepted engineering practices and principles which decision shall be implemented by means of a development order. When it is determined that a sidewalk is not practical in a particular location, the cost for the sidewalk shall be placed into the City's sidewalk fund. The sidewalk fund within the City's financial management structure shall be maintained and administered by the City in accordance with sound and generally accepted public fiscal practices and principles and into which funds shall be deposited and from which funds may be withdrawn pursuant to this Ordinance in order to facilitate the construction of public sidewalks. Subfunds may be created for each area in which sidewalks are to be constructs. Funds may be used for purposes only which benefit the real property for which payment has been made is located. Authorized uses for funds deposited within the sidewalk fund include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

1.

To acquire the fee simple or other interest in land, and other real property for sidewalk purposes.

2.

To coordinate plans for sidewalk improvements and expansion with public transportation plans and operations in the area of the real property for which payment has been made.

1.

The slab between expansion joints shall be divided into sections 5' in length by transverse contraction joints formed by a jointing tool. Contraction joints shall be a minimum of one and 1 ½" deep. Where slabs are more than 7' in width, control joints shall be formed longitudinally to secure uniform blocks approximately square.

The contractor may use open type or sawed contraction joints:

a.

Open-type Joints: Form open type contraction joints by staking a metal bulkhead in place and depositing the concrete on both sides. After the concrete has set sufficiently to preserve the width and shape of the joint, remove the bulkhead. After finishing the sidewalk over the joint, edge the slot with a tool having a ½" radius.

b.

Sawed Joints: If electing to saw the contraction joints, cut a slot approximately 3/16" wide an not less than ½" deep with a concrete saw after the concrete has set, and within the following periods of time: joints at not more than 20' intervals: within 12 hours after finishing; remaining joints: within 96 hours after finishing.

2.

Expansion joints shall be formed around all appurtenances such as manholes, utility poles, etc., extending into and through the sidewalks. Premolded expansion joint filler 1/4" thick shall be installed at these joints.

D.

Finishing. Provide the concrete with a broom finish. Ensure that the surface variations are not more than ¼" under a 10' straightedge, or more than 1/8" on a 5' transverse section. Finish the edge of the sidewalk with an edging tool having a radius of ½".

E.

1.

Applicability. Curb ramps conforming to ADAAG shall be installed when an alteration to a street or sidewalk occurs or when a new sidewalk is constructed. Ramps will be installed or upgraded at all legal crossings within the limits of grind and pave contracts. Existing ramps will be removed and new ramps constructed where the existing ramp:

a.

Does not currently conform to the ADAAG but it is technically feasible to conform; or

b.

Surfaces are brick pavers; or

c.

Existing concrete is not sound.

2.

Plan Requirements. All new construction shall be designed on plan drawings to verify that a design conforms to the ADAAG. This requires a working drawing that shows existing and proposed curbs, pavement markings, traffic control signs, traffic signals, elevations (gutter, top of curb, ramp and sidewalk), dimensions, R/W lines, trees, street furniture, inlets, parking meters and utility covers. The City reserves the right to request this information (drawn at 1"= 10') be submitted prior to approval of construction drawings and permits. Alterations are typically designed in the field and do not include design drawings to verify that ADAAG requirements are satisfied. It is the responsibility of the contractor and field engineer to verify that the "most useable" solution is constructed.

3.

Contrast. In addition to the ADAAG requirements for contrasting colored surfaces, safety yellow is shall not be the contrasting color due to aesthetic reasons. In addition, since dogs perceive black as a hole and walk around black pavement, black is not an acceptable color for detectable warning surfaces. The surface will be red or brick-red in color.

4.

Types of Detectable Warning Surfaces to be Installed:

Detectable Warning, Type B - Detectable warnings in new ramp construction will consist of pre-cast clay or ceramic paving bricks on a 1¼" sand bed on a 5" concrete base. 3½" high forms (nominal 2x4 lumber) are used to create a tub for the bricks to sit in.

(Ord. No. 4612, § 1(a)(Exh.), 6-28-2021)

The principal thrust in the development of marginal access standards is to reduce conflict between driveway entrances and through traffic. One method of reducing conflict is to provide a refuge area where vehicles can leave the through traffic lanes, slow down and accomplish the turn. Auxiliary lanes, as defined below, provide that capability and consequently may be required based upon the speed of the accessed roadway, the development's projected right and left turn volumes, and/or construction conflicts with existing drives/streets/roads.

A.

Requirements. A right turn section is required on roadways with a posted speed limit of 40 MPH and greater and/or development with a daily trip end rate of 500 ADT or greater.

A left turn lane section is required for any development that accesses a classified road of minor collector and above or has a posted speed of 35 MPH or higher. An inbound radius of 50' at development or higher, or a daily trip end rate of 500 ADT or higher, then a right turn section will be additionally required.

Additionally, if either terminus of the of the proposed auxiliary lane section is within 300' from an existing auxiliary lane terminus than a total 36' section is required to eliminate weaving or "Hour Glass" sections. See Figure N-7, Taper Striping Details, for design and markings specifications.

B.

Figure N-8, Auxiliary Lane(s) Detail illustrates typical taper dimensions "A". A taper refers to the triangular paved surface that transitions the highway pavement to accommodate an auxiliary lane or a 36' wide pavement surface with markings identifying the transition area for the same purpose.

The length of the taper is based on a roadway's design speed; i.e., L = Speed x Width. Examples of taper length are given for different design speeds in Figure N- 8, Recommended Taper Length for Various Design Speeds. Storage lanes, labeled "B" and "C" in Figure N-8, are the 12' "refuge" area used to accomplish a right or left turn without impeding traffic. The storage and tapers combine to form either the right or left turn lanes. The length is determined as shown in Figure N-8.

C.

Exceptions. The Administrative Official has the authority to adjust the requirements due to right-of-way constraints.

(Ord. No. 4612, § 1(a)(Exh.), 6-28-2021)

A.

Purpose. The purpose of these access standards is to protect roadway operations and the roadway capacity by ensuring the adequate functioning of intersections and the adequate design, efficient operation and continued maintenance of the road facilities.

B.

General Access Standards. The following access standards shall apply:

1.

Minimum number of access points shall adequately serve the development. Joint and Cross Access Easements and dedication of access rights may be required to protect the safe and efficient operation of the accessed streets.

2.

In order to provide ease and convenience in ingress and egress to private property and the maximum safety with the least interference to the traffic flow on public streets, classified major collector and above, the number and location of driveways shall be regulated by the dedication of access rights to the City or other governmental entity that has jurisdiction over the road.

3.

Street stubs to adjoining undeveloped areas shall be provided when required to give access to such areas or to provide for proper traffic circulation. Streets stubs in excess of 250' shall be provided with a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround.

4.

Auxiliary lanes, median modifications or other design features may be required.

5.

All lots shall front on a paved road. A development shall abut, or have as its primary access, on a street paved to City standards of this regulation. All abutting roadways providing direct access to the development shall be paved to the nearest public paved road. Where paving is required on the abutting roadway outside of the development frontage, then paving only to the development access points may be allowed provided that in no case shall the length of required paving be less than the length of the development's frontage along the abutting roadway.

6.

The following permits are required prior to a building permit being issued:

a.

An FDOT driveway permit is required for all proposals to access State roads.

b.
