The Applicant's/Agent's analysis (Traffic Impact Analysis Tuscawilla Develop- ment Plan, Winter Springs, Florida) dated March 1984 has been referred through City Commissioner Hartman to the Transportation Department of the Eas Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC) for technical review, and with the following result: e 1. The Council (Executive Director Cliff Guillet, Planner/Dowling) agreed to review the applicant's study without charge, as a council servi~e to its member/jurisdiction (City of Winter Springs),and; 2. The Council's Analyst/Fred Milch reported (4 p..m.., 16 April 84) thelr findings, by telephone, to City Planner/Elwell, and wade the points as follows: A. The Analyst's review-addressed primarily the llnk CWinter Springs Blvd.) between Traffic Zone fifteen (IZ15) in Tuscawilla and State Road 426 (S.R. 426) in Oviedo, and; B. The Analyst finds-three (3) notable sources of traffic not addressed or otherwise accounted for in the Applicant~s impact analysis; (1) Zone 4 in Tuscawilla should produce~ore trips. Analyst/~lch. estimates conservatively: 1660 additional trips, twenty (20) percent of which (330 vehicles) he would assign to the link in question, and; (2) The applicant's analysis does not address the Alafaya Woods Development (3,500 dwelling units in Seminole County outside of Tuscawilla) which analyst/Milch estimates conservatively would generate 30,000 vehicles per day, nine hundred (900) of which. he would assign to the link in question to enter TZ15, -and; e <- -",-,,~-,-,,-,~;,~~-_,.w.._,"._.._ _....'-._----'"~_____;;;;.._.~.:._~~~._.,__,.. . e ~w--....~.l$~~,:"'._~C" STAFF REPORT, PLANNING DEPT.

( ,Development/Unit: TUSCAWILLA UNIT 14 iApplicant/Agent: WINTER SPRINGS DEV. CORP ./J. ALPERT Review/Action Requested: CITY COMMISSION REVIEW/APPROVAL (3) The applicant's analysis does not address Red Bug Road traffic projected to 1995~ ten (10) percent (1,100 vehicles) of which analyst/Milch would assign to the link in question to enter Tuscawilla, and; C. Evaluating, subjectively-what the foregoing means, Analyst/Milch feels that the lirik"fiiquestion would provide traffic service at or about level "D". (Depiction of level of service (LOS) "D" attached). D. Other concerns-expressed by Analyst/Milch are: (1) No peak hour analysis was presented by the Applicant. There is not always a direct correlation of level of service estimates, between average daily travel (ADT) and peak hour analysis. At peak hours traffic service on the link in question may fall below what Analyst/Milch has estimated (a high level of service in range "D"), and; (2) No intersection analysis was presented by the Applicant. Some concern seems warranted over traffic control at the intersection of the link in question and S.R. 426, and; E. In the period required to arrange and perform the above analysis- additional information on the funding of the Dean Road route for the northerly extension of the East-West Expressway has become available (clipping attached). It seems likely to Analyst/Milch that the route (identifi~g)~.may, be extended through Tuscawilla 14, and require (for reason~V~'JgIse buffering) a right-of-way width of 1000 feet, plus acreage for interchanges (refer: con- victions 1 thru 4, page 2 Memo of Planner/Elwell to City Mgr., 10 April 84).
