Agenda 10/25/2016 Item #16A12 16.A.12
10/25/2016
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a waiver in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Advance
Street Name Guidelines policy and Resolution No. 2012-114 for the placement of advance street
name guide signs along Airport-Pulling Road at the approaches to Hawks Ridge Drive.
OBJECTIVE: To propose approval of a waiver in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the
Advance Street Name Guidelines policy and Resolution 2012-114 for the placement of advance street
name signs along Airport-Pulling Road at the approaches to Hawks Ridge Drive.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Advance Street Name Guidelines policy was approved by the Board of
County Commissioners(Board)on June 26, 2012,Item 16A16.
Some of the policy guidelines are:
• Use advanced street name signs only to identify critical or significant cross streets;
• Advanced street name signs are not intended to identify destinations such as cities, facilities, or
residential neighborhoods;
• Be consistent with FDOT guidelines for Advance Street Name Signs;
• Meet the requirements established in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD);
• Allow advance street name guide signs for minor road approaches with a minimum of 2,000
vehicles per day; and
• Resolution 2012-114, Item 2d, allows the Board to consider a waiver from the requirements of
the guidelines upon request.
On June 30, 2016, the Hawks Ridge community submitted a written request for a waiver from the policy
requirements. Hawks Ridge is a residential neighborhood with a private access that does not meet the
policy's minimum requirement of 2,000 vehicles per day. The community would like the advance street
name signs, as indicated in the attached letter, to minimize the number of drivers who miss the entrance.
Historically, there has been advance street name signage at the approaches to Hawks Ridge and one of
these signs was recently knocked down. Per the policy,these signs cannot be re-installed without a Board
approved waiver. Sign spacing and location are adequate to justify the waiver request.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost associated with waiving the requirements of the policy for the
advance street name guide signs. Further, there shall be no cost to the County for installation of advance
street name guide signs for private roadways. For intersections with private roadways, the right-of-way
permit cost, material cost, installation cost and replacement cost of advance street name guide signs shall
be the responsibility of the homeowner associations (HOA) and/or developers desiring to install signs on
county highways for private roadways.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves the waiver authorizing the Hawks Ridge community
to install advance street name signs along Airport-Pulling Road at Hawks Ridge Drive in accordance with
Resolution 2012-114,Item 2d.
