pomprehensive Plan: Future Traffic CirC\llatior:!:
Koch stated that because of the delay with the base map she is breaking away
from the schedule the Board had been given. Koch stated that she will have
overlays for the base map which show the natural features and wetlands shortly.
Koch stated that of all the elements traffic circulation is the most difficult;
this element could stop growth. The future depends on other jurisdictions
also.
In dealing with roads, we look at functional classifications: Primary arterials
and interstates are under the state jurisdiction. Minor arterial roads and
lnajor collector roads are under County jurisdiction.
Eight years ago, the State gave the responsibility for certain roads to the
County even though they pass through cities. The County policy that growth
should pay for itself led to their impact fees.

The State in 1987 had a grant program for "special problems" and the City was
awarded funding to study the connection of the two sides of town wi th a
collector road system and the development of the central core area of the City.
The study also analyzed other ways out of the City beside SR 434 and Tuscawilla
Road.
Koch went over the possible alternate roads that could be built in the City to
alleviate the traffic on SR 434.
Koch stated that the Board's job is to consider what the traffic circulation
problems are and what are the possible solutions: what would benefit the
citizens of Winter Springs.
Koch told the Board that the Existing Traffic Circulation Study includes the
consul tant ' s ideas on how to alleviate the traffic problems to benefit the
citizens of Winter Springs. This is just a preliminary recommendation.
The City's proposed impact fee utilizes a standards-driven methodology. This
is based on the cost to build a collector road and the number of new trips to
be generated only on City collector roads by future construction.
