D. Private access should be minimized or eliminated, whenever possible, for safety <br />reasons and to protect mobility along the corridor. <br />Policy: <br />• No additional direct private or business access should be permitted. <br />• Existing private residences that have access should be limited to one access point <br />if access from a side street is not feasible. <br />• Residences and businesses next to side streets should receive their access from <br />the side street. <br />• Restricting access movements will be considered for access points that cannot be <br />served by a public street access. <br />E. Agencies need to control parcel splits along County Road 116. The ability to control <br />access to maintain safety and mobility can be lost when parcels are divided and split. <br />This can result in agencies having to provide access to each additional parcel to the <br />detriment of mobility and safety. <br />Policy: No additional parcel splits should he permitted without alternate access. If <br />additional parcel splits occur, access should he provided from a public side street or <br />frontage/package road. If access from a public side street or frontage/package road <br />is not feasible, a common access location must he provided to serve all of the <br />parcels. Access easements must he recorded to provide notice to f rture owners of <br />access limitations. <br />F. Agencies need to focus development efforts towards providing access at designated <br />full -access locations. <br />Policy: Proposed subdivisions adjacent to County Road 116 must he consistent with <br />the access policies and spacing plan that have been developed. Subdivisions must <br />provide access to adjacent parcels and provide reasonable frontage or package <br />roadways consistent with the intent of this plan. In addition, existing access <br />locations that are adjacent to the new subdivisions should he reviewed for <br />incorporation into the proposed plats. <br />4. Active access strategies should first be completed on access points that are easiest to <br />address (those with alternate access or corner parcels). More difficult access consolidation <br />or removal (those without any alternate access) should be implemented as redevelopment <br />occurs or when major transportation improvements or investments are made. <br />5. Local agencies should review their land use plans and subdivision ordinances and make <br />appropriate changes to support the proposed access plan. <br />6. The proposed access guidelines and access plan should be communicated to local <br />developers and landowners. Copies of access plans should be given to staff that review <br />site plans and meet with developers. <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. - 54 - February 2004 <br />
