PURPOSE:

To consider accepting the plans and initiating the final petition process for Traffic Calming in Land Lots 114 & 115 of the 18th District on Laurel Ridge Drive and Larch Lane between Shetland Drive and Mount Olive Drive.

 

NEED/IMPACT:

Cut-thru has been confirmed on Laurel Ridge Drive and Larch Lane between Shetland Drive and Mount Olive Drive which meets the criteria for traffic calming measures and for initiating the petition process for distribution of the traffic calming petitions. 

The initiator(s) from the neighborhood met with the design engineer for this affected area to discuss the alternative methods of traffic calming available to them and then to review the proposed plans.  The initiator(s) took this information back to their neighborhood, and they conveyed to staff that they are in support of the attached proposed design moving forward to the petition process. 

This public hearing has been advertised and appropriate signs have been posted notifying residents in the area. The initiator(s) will have 90 days to acquire 65% valid “yes” signatures from the property owners in the affected area.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the petition passes and a special tax district is adopted under a future agenda item, the installation cost to the County will be $29,570.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommended Action

Accept the attached plan and start the 90-day petition process for Traffic Calming Land Lots 114 & 115 of the 18th District on Laurel Ridge Drive and Larch Lane between Shetland Drive and Mount Olive Drive.
