I I 7. Private access should be minimized or eliminated, whenever possible, for safety reasons and to protect mobility along the con-idor. Policy: · No additionaI direct private or business access should be permitted.. · Existing pr/vate residences that have access sl'/ould be limited to one access point if access from a side street is not feasible. · Residences and businesses next to side streets should receive their access from the side street. · Restricting access movements will be considered for access points that cannot be served by a public street access. Agencies need to control parcel· sptits along County Road J, 16. The ability to-control access to maintain safety and mobility can be lost when parcels are divided and spilt. This can result in agencies having to provide access to each additional parcel to the detriment of mobility and safety. Policy: No additional parcel splits should be permitted without alternate access. If additional parcel splits occur, access should be provided from a public side street, or fronzage/bac,kage road. If access from a public side street or frontage/backage road is not feasible, a common access location must be provided to serve all of the parcels. Access easements must be recorded to provide notice ro fi~ture owners of access limitations. Agencies need to focus development efforts towards providing access at desi~ated full-access locations.

Local agencies should review their land use plans and' subdivision ordinances and make appropriate changes to support the proposed access plan. The proposed access guidelines and access plan should be communicated to local developers and landowners. Copies of access plans should be given to staff that review site plans and meet with developers. Policy: Proposed subdivisions adjacent to County Road 116 must be consistent with the access policies and spacing plan that have been developed. Subdivisions must provide access to adjacent parcels and provide reasonable frontage or backage roadways consistent with the intent of this plan. In addition, existing' access locations that are adjacent to the new subdivisions should be reviewed' for incorporation into the proposed ptats. Active access strategies should first be completed on access points that are easiest to or removal (those without any alternate access) should be implemented as redevelopment i -334- SRF Cons'nixing Group, Inc.
