BAYSHORE BEAUTIFICATION MSTU ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES
OF THE APRIL 7,2015 ROUND ABOUT PRESENTATION
Michael Wallwork from Alternate Street Design gave a presentation on round abouts. He explained that
a roundabout is an island which forces vehicles to slow their speed down to 10 miles/hour, traffic
control, an aesthetic improvement, and it minimizes pedestrian's attention to one side of the road before
crossing.
The suggested locations for round abouts in the Bayshore area are: Thomasson/Bayshore, Aladdin
Lane/Park, and in front of the school. Following the presentation we had a question and answer session.
Below is the list with the answers.
1. Maurice Gutierrez: How will boat trailer be impacted?
A: A template can be created using large boat/trailer/vehicle dimensions as part of the design.
2. Marlene Messam: Does a roundabout require more right-of-way than a signalized intersection>
A: Not at Bayshore.
3. Jean: What is the cost?
A: Between$200,000 to $500,000 each.
4. Marlene: How do you handle drainage?
A: There is a 2% cross fall away from the center island. There are inlets outside the crosswalk.

• Environmental and other changes suggested will be included in next month's report.
• RWA met with SWFWMD and have concluded that we may qualify for a general
permit but there will be more meetings to present the possibility of a round-about
and a reduction of sidewalk. The original 8' sidewalk is now being proposed as a 6'
sidewalk so that there are no surface water impacts which will allow for permitting
under the general permit requirements. An addition of the 2' can be done at a later
time.
• Keisha suggests we submit the Design Criteria Report for County review for a 30%
completion and this will allow us time to obtain the information needed from the
ROW issue.
• Bob Messmer asked about the possibility of a turn lane in front of the school.
Keisha explained that the drainage may impact the space for the turn lane.
• Mrs. Caserta recommended Keisha meet with SFWMD and create a feasibility
study which has a price of approximately$2,500 and will represent the possibility
of a round-about and how that would affect the project, if in any way. Advisory
members agreed. This item was an incomplete motion and needs to be
revisited.(26:57")
Motion to move with option 1 of the technical report which includes a sidewalk
reduction from 8 feet to 6 feet in order to qualify for the SFWMD's general permit
application, made by: Gerry Buck 2nd by: Sandra Arafet Approved: 6-0.
Motion to accept the Design Criteria Report, as amended,which includes county
staff comments, made by: Maurice Gutierrez 2nd by: Sheila Dugan Approved: 6-0.
B. Request for Payment of Services: Motion to make payment made by: Victoria Nicklos
2nd: Gerry Buck Approved: 6-0.
