REVIEW BY OTHERS The text amendment was considered by the Planning and Zoning Boazd on February 25, 2008. No one from the public spoke on the issue. The Boazd unanimously recommended approval on a 7 to 0 vote by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report and finding that the amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Section 2.4.5(M) of the Land Development Regulations.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 2008 AGENDA NO: IV.C. AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF ACITY-INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDR), AMENDING SECTION 6.1.2(D), STREET AND ALLEY CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, TO PROVIDE UPDATED CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS. _ ~,..._ ITf,.Ms ~ . ~ #~; ~_, ; The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding acity- initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to update the construction standards for streets and alleys. Pursuant to Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land Development Regulations may not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board. ~K~ , ~ ~f~Al~ . `1fS18 This item was continued from the January 28, 2008 Planning and Zoning Board meeting (see attached staff report). The original draft ordinance included limerock as the only base course material permitted by right. The City Engineer also wanted to include crushed concrete as a base course material to be permitted by right, as opposed to requiring his approval each time. This is reflected in the attached revised ordinance. When deviations from the materials identified in subsection 5(a) are presented, the revised ordinance continues to require conformity with DOT specifications, but allows approval by the City Engineer on a case by case basis. A. Continue with direction. B. Move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission of the amendment to Land Development Regulations, Section 6.1.2(D) Street and Alley Construction Standards, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the text amendment and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M). C. Move a recommendation of denial to the City Commission of the amendment to Land Development Regulations, Section 6.1.2(D) Street and Alley Construction Standards, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the text amendment and approval thereof is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet the criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M) (motion to be made in the affirmative).

Attachment: Proposed Ordinance From: Hasko, Richard Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 10:56 AM To: McDonnell, Mark; Lutchmansingh, Tracie Cc: Pybum, Terrill; Gaskins, Lanekia; Doriing, Paul Subject: RE: LDR amendment on streets and alleys There aze three components to the roadway infrastructure, subgrade, base and surface course. A standard specification for surface course can range between 1" and 3" depending on the rating of the road. Fro local streets, a 1-1/2" surface course is standard. The base is typically a shellrock or limerock layer 8" in depth and compacted to a standard compaction specification (usually 95- 98% ofmaximum attainable density for the material used. The subgrade, which is the first layer to be constructed is typically 12" thick. It can either be stabilized (in situ material mixed in a specified proportion with shell or limerock and compacted to a specific density standard) or simply compacted without the addition of stabilizing material to the density standazd. If our LDRs specify 8" subgrade, then they have been deficient for a long time. Minimum. 12" depth. for subgrade course has been. a construction standard since I have been practicing engineering. That's probably more information than you wanted but hopefully that will allow you to answer this and any other questions that may arise. From: McDonnell, Mark Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 10:51 AM To: Hasko, Rkhard; Lutchmansingh, Trecie Cc: Pybum, Terrill; McDonnell, Mark; Gaskins, Lanelda; McDonnell, Mark; Dorling, Paul Subject: LDR amendment on streets and alleys Richard or Tracie- Mr. Harden may question why the depth for the subgrade for street and alley construction Is being amended to Increase It from the current 8 Inches, to the proposed 12 inches. The ordinance (06-08) links It to DOT Specification Section 160, but do either of you know the reason why It was increased from 8" to 12"? Your timely response is appreciated.
