11/12/2013 16.A.14.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution superseding Resolution Number 01 -247 to revise the
County's Access Management Policy to add an easterly extension of Rattlesnake Hammock Road
(CR 864), east of Collier Boulevard (CR -951), upon acceptance by Collier County for ownership
and maintenance, while simultaneously establishing the access class designation for the roadway.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval of a Resolution
superseding Resolution No. 01 -247, which adds Rattlesnake Hammock Road east of Collier
Boulevard, establishes an access class designation of 5 ( <45mph), and establishes minimum
driveway spacing on this roadway segment that is proposed for future conveyance to Collier
County for ownership, maintenance and governance.
CONSIDERATIONS: Properties zoned through Ordinances 2011 -41, Hacienda Lakes MPUD,
and Ordinance 2007 -30, Hammock Park Commerce Center, are now jointly owned and
controlled by the Hacienda Lakes Development along, and to the east of, Collier Boulevard in
the vicinity of Rattlesnake Hammock Road.
As a requirement of the respective Developer's Commitments stated in both aforementioned
zoning ordinances, the Hacienda Lakes Development is undergoing design, permitting, and
construction of the easterly extension of Rattlesnake Hammock Road; beginning at the
intersection with Collier Boulevard and continuing easterly to a terminus at the future Benfield
Road corridor, a length of approximately one mile. This roadway, once constructed, is proposed
for turn-over to Collier County for acceptance of ownership, maintenance and governance. The
roadway segment is consistent with the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan and will provide
interconnectivity to the future Benfield Road corridor. This roadway will also provide primary
access to the Hacienda Lakes Development and adjacent properties.
Collier County has adopted a Growth Management Plan pursuant to the requirements of Section
163.3161 et. Seq., Florida Statutes, which Plan, under Policy 7.1 of the Traffic Circulation
Elements, mandates that a policy be adopted for access management of the roadways of Collier
County; and that access to arterial and collector roadways must be planned and controlled so that
the safety, capacity and operating conditions of the roadways will not be adversely impacted.
Planning and control strategies are currently established by Resolution Number 01 -257, the
Collier County Access Management Policy, which defines the access class of the arterial and
collector roadways in Collier County based on characteristics such as adjacent development
intensity, roadway design, design and posted speed limit and existing/future roadway
dimensions.
In compliance with the County's Access Management Policy, the County and its design
engineering review consultant, CH2MHill, have performed an engineering review of the
roadway design, and subsequently have determined that this roadway has been designed to be
consistent with the design characteristics. associated with a Class 5 Access Class designation,
which is less than 45 mph.
FISCAL FAFACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval. —SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT EWPACT: This action will result in a growth management
impact, such that adoption of this Resolution will serve to govern and manage the driveway
connection spacing, median opening spacing, signal spacing and turning movement allowances
along the future roadway corridor.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the attached Resolution superseding
Resolution Number 01 -247, adding Rattlesnake Hammock Road east of Collier Boulevard, and
establish Access Class 5 (<45mph), and authorize the Chairwoman to execute the Resolution and
authorize Staff to enforce minimum design guidelines based on the adopted criteria.

EXHIBIT "A"
A POLICY ESTABLISHING THE COLLIER COUNTY ACCESS
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR ROADWAYS
Section One: Purpose
This Policy supersedes, replaces and updates that established by Resolution No.
01 -247 for the access classification system and standards to implement regulation and
control of vehicular .ingress to, and egress from, arterial and collector roadways. The
implementation of classification system and standards is intended to protect public safety
and general welfare, provide far mobility of people and goods, and preserve the
functional. integrity and capacity of arterial and collector roadways. To the extent that
Collier County has jurisdiction to do so, all limited- access, controlled access, arterial and
collector roadway facilities shall be assigned an access classification and access standard.
These standards shall be the basis for developing access management plans for the county
roadway improvements and modifications, and for roadway or driveway connection
permitting.
Section Two: ,Definitions
2.01 Arterial - A signalized roadway that serves primarily through traffic and secondarily
abutting properties and that generally has signal spacing of two miles or less.
2.02 Classes — Categories of Arterials primarily grouped by signal density.
2.03 Collector — A Street providing land access and traffic circulation service to a
residential, commercial, or industrial area. Secondarily provides for local through
traffic.
2.04 Connection — A Driveway, street, turnout, or other means of providing for the right
of physical access to or from a Public roadway. For the purposes of this resolution,
two one -way connections to a property may constitute a single connection..
2.05 Connection Spacing — The allowable distance between connections, measured from
the closest edge of pavement of the first connection to the closest edge of pavement
of the second connection, exclusive of radii, along the edge of the travelled way.
2.06 Controlled Access — means access, median openings, and traffic signals are highly
regulated.
2.07 Corner Clearance — Distance from an intersection of a driveway or street connection
and a limited - access, controlled access, arterial or collector facility. This distance is
measured from the closest edge of pavement of the connection, measured along the
travelled way. The closest edge of pavement shall ber with existing lames or future
lanes, including turn and merge lanes, where a roadway segment is part of an
adopted five -year plan.
2.08 Directional Median Opening — an opening in a median that is restrictive to
movements made from or to the major roadway including the limitation of left -turn
in, left -turn out, no U -turn, U -turn only, or combination of the above.
Packet Page -1245-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
2.09 Division — The Transportation Services Division of Collier County administered by
the "Transportation Administrator or his /her duly authorized representative.
2.10 Full Median Opening — a median opening designed to allow for all movements to
and from a major roadway. U -turns may be prohibited at full median openings.
2.11 Intersection — an at -grade connection or crossing of local, collector, arterial,
controlled access or limited access roadways that may be either public or private.
2.12 Medians — areas, preferably at least ten feet wide, painted, raised, or grassed, that
separate opposing- direction, mid -block traffic lanes and that, on arterials, contain
turn lanes that allow left turning vehicles to exit from the through limes.
2.13 Median Opening Spacing — the allowable spacing between openings in a median to
allow for crossing of opposing lanes of traffic to access other roadway facilities,
property access or provide for U -turn movements. The spacing distance shall be
measured from the centerline to centerline of openings along the travelled. way.
2.14 Permitting Authority — Project Review Services of the Development Services
Division or other duly designated authority of Collier County with all provisions of
this .resolution as it applies to connection and its attendant permitting process, being
reviewed and approved by the Transportation Services Division of Collier County.
2.15 Reasonable Access — The number of direct or indirect connections necessary to
provide ingress and egress to the limited access, controlled access, arterial., or
collector facilities from abutting properties and local roadways based on the Access
Management standards, roadway operations, and type and intensity of land use.
The applicant may submit site specific information that the applicant deems
pertinent to the Permitting Authority's review of proposed connection permit
application.
2.16 Service Road — a Public or private street or roadway, auxiliary to, and normally, but
not required to be, parallel to a controlled or limited access facility, which has a
primary purpose to maintain local road continuity, provision of access to adjacent
parcels or development and minimizing the number of connections to a limited or
controlled access facility while maintaining property access rights.
117 Signal Spacing — the allowable spacing between adjacent traffic signals on limited
access, controlled access, arterial and collector facilities as measured from
centerline to centerline of the signalized intersections along the travelled way.
2.18 Significant Change --- a change in the use of property, including land, structures or
facilities, or an expansion of the size of existing structures or facilities which will
cause at least a 25% increase in additional new trips, either peak hourly or daily,
entering or exiting the site or which is projected to exceed 100 trips per day more
than the existing use, whichever is less. The number of trips shall be determined
using the most current edition of the "Trip Generation Manual" of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers. Where such additional traffic is proposed or projected,
the property owner shall contact the Permitting Authority to determine if a new
Packet Page -1246-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
permit application or modification to an existing permit shall be required. If the
Permitting Authority determines that the increased traffic generated by the change
in use does not require modifications to the existing permit or existing access
connection, a new permit application shall not be required.
2.19 Travelled Way — The portion of the roadway for the movement of vehicles,
exclusive of shoulders.
2.20 Tuna Lane — That portion of the roadway dedicated to the turning movement (left-,
Right -, or U- Turning) of vehicular traffic onto or off of the through traffic lanes to
adjacent streets or developments. A turn lane must be long enough to accommodate
enough turning vehicles to allow the free flow of the through traffic.
Section Three: Connection Permit Requirements
3.01 Connection permit applications on all public roadway facilities shall be reviewed in
accordance with the requirements of Ordinance 82 -91, as amended or superseded
(Collier County Construction. Standards for Work Within Rights -Of -Way) and this
policy. Access classifications and design standards are shown in Table 1 and
further described in Section Four of this Policy.
3.02 Existing permitted connections, existing median openings are not required to meet
the standards of the assigned classification. Such features shall generally be
allowed to remain in place unless for safety, operation or protection of the roadway
capacity deemed necessary to modify or close by Collier County. These features
shall be brought into reasonable conformance when new connection permits are
granted, following significant changes in properly use, or as changes to the roadway
design occur.
3.03 A property that cannot be permitted access consistent with the standards for the
classification assigned to that particular roadway segment and which has no other
means of direct or reasonable direct or indirect access as determined pursuant to the
connection permit process, shall be issued a conforming permit by the Permitting
Authority for a single connection pursuant to this Policy. If additional connections
are requested and approved, they shall be considered non - conforming and shall
contain restrictions and /or removal provisions.
3.04 Access class standards represent desirable requirements for each access class. As
segments of roadways are analyzed and connection permits are applied for, the
ultimate goal is to exceed these standards thereby providing for the preservation of
the capacity, safety and general welfare of the traveling Public.
3.05 The connection and median opening spacing standards specified in this policy may
not be adequate in some cases. Greater distances between connections and. median
openings may be required by the Permitting Authority to provide sufficient location
specific traffic operations and safety requirements. In such instances, the
Permitting Authority shall document, as part of the response to an application
submitted pursuant to this Policy, a justification based on traffic engineering
principles, as to why such greater distances are required.
Packet Page -1247-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
3.06 When a full median opening is constructed or reconstructed to allow for opposing
left- or U -turns only, these openings shall be considered as one opening.
3.07 Adjacent properties under the same ownership shall not be considered as separate
properties for the purpose of applying the standards associated with the access class
of the adjacent roadway segment, but shall be deemed to be one parcel. Applicants
requesting connection for one or more adjacent properties under the same
ownership may, however, as part of the permit application process, request that the
properties be considered individually for connection permitting purposes. Such
requests shall be included in the permit application and shall provide specific
analyses and justification of potential capacity decrease, safety and operational
hazards associated with the compatibility of the volume, type, ar characteristics of
the traffic using the connection. Such properties and single ownership properties
with frontage exceeding the standards of the assigned class may not be allowed,
pursuant to the permit application process in this Policy, the maximum number of
connections, median openings or signals based on the spacing standards. The total
number of connections allowed will be the minimum necessary to provide
reasonable access. Leasehold interests existing prior to the effective date of this
Policy or a bonafide contract for sale may be considered as a separate ownership
from the parent tract for the purpose of this Policy. Such leasehold interests or
contracts may not, however, be the sole criteria .for determining separate ownership
for purpose of implementation of this policy.
3.08 The speed criteria referred to in Table 1, Access Classification and Standards,
means the posted speed limited for the roadway segment either existing or the
established posted speed limit for facilities identified for improvement or not yet in
existence.
3.09 Corner clearances for connections shall meet or exceed the connection spacing
requirements for Classifications 2 through 7. However a single connection may be
placed closer to the intersection for circumstances set forth in 3.09.1, 3.09.2 and
3.09.3 following and pursuant to the permit application process of this Policy.
3.09.1 If, due to property size, corner clearance standards of this Policy cannot be met,
and where joint access meets or exceeds the applicable corner clearance standards
cannot be obtained with a neighboring property, or, in the determination of the
Permitting Authority, is not feasible based on conflicting land use or conflicting
traffic volumes /characteristics, then comer clearance measurements in Table 2
may be used to pen-nit connections. Such properties, for the purpose of this
Policy, are called "isolated corner properties."
3.09.2 In cases where connections are permitted under criteria specified in Table 2,
following, the permit shall contain the following additional conditions.
3.09.2.1 There shall be no more than one connection per road frontage.
3.09.2.2 Where joint or alternate access meets or exceeds the applicable corner clearance
becomes available, the permittee shall close the permitted connection, unless the
permittee can then show, by presentation of competent evidence, that such
Packet Page -1248-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
closure is not feasible because of conflicting land use, conflicting traffic
volumes /characteri stics, or existing structures preclude a change in the existing
connection.
3.09.3 The corner clearance measurements for the isolated corner properties set forth in
Section 3.09.01 above shall be as defined in this section, Classes 3 through 7,
inclusive.
3.09.4 Corner clearances for "isolated corner properties" are as follows:
Table 1
Corner Clearance at Intersections

3.10 Connections and median openings located within the '/4 mile from the limited-
access interchange (includes the entire limited- access right -of -way frontage)
shall be regulated consistent with the requirements of the Rules of the
Department of Transportation, Chapter 14 -97, State Highway Access
Management Classification System Standards, Florida Department of
Transportation, as may be amended, and on controlled access and arterial roads
within the first '/s or `/4 mile, respectively, or the first existing intersection
whichever distance is less, shall be regulated to protect the safety and
operational efficiency of the limited access facility.
3.10.1 The distance to the first connection shall be at least 660 feet where the posted
speed limit is greater than 45 mph, and shall be at least 440 feet where the
posted speed limit is 45 mph or less. This distance will be measured from the
end of the taper for that particular quadrant of the interchange on the arterial
facility. A single connection per property not meeting this connection spacing
may be provided, pursuant to the connection permit process, if no reasonable
access to the property exists and if the Permitting Authority review of the
connection permit application provided by the applicant determines that the
connection does not create a safety, operational, or weaving hazard. In such

3.10.1 The distance to the first connection shall be at least 660 feet where the posted
speed limit is greater than 45 mph, and shall be at least 440 feet where the
posted speed limit is 45 mph or less. This distance will be measured from the
end of the taper for that particular quadrant of the interchange on the arterial
facility. A single connection per property not meeting this connection spacing
may be provided, pursuant to the connection permit process, if no reasonable
access to the property exists and if the Permitting Authority review of the
connection permit application provided by the applicant determines that the
connection does not create a safety, operational, or weaving hazard. In such
Packet Page -1249-
11/12/2013 16.A.14
cases, application for more than a single connection shall be examined as non-
conforming connections.
3.10.2 The distance to the first median opening shall be at least 1320 feet as measured
from the end of taper of the egress ramp.
3.10.3 Connections and median openings meeting spacing standards may not be
permitted in the location requested in the permit application if the Permitting
Authority determines, based on traffic engineering principles, the engineering
and traffic information provided in the permit application shows that the
capacity, safety, or operation characteristics of the interchange or the limited
access highway or roadway would be adversely affected.
3.11 Locations for proposed signalization meeting signal warrants which are
intervals closer than the standard for the access class for the roadway segment
shall be considered by the Permitting Authority but may only be approved
where the need for such signals is clearly demonstrated for the safety and
operational characteristics of the roadway based on Permitting Authority review
of the Traffic and Signal information provided by the applicant in the
connection permit application.
Section Four: Access_ Class Descriptions and Standards
4.01 The access classification system and standards are shown in Table 1. The
Access Management Classifications are arranged from the most restrictive
(Class 1) to the least restrictive (Class 7). The standards for each class are
differentiated where the posted speed limit is greater or equal to 45 mph as
distinguished from where the posted speed limit is less than 45 mph. The
general descriptions for Access Management Classifications 1 through 7 for
County roadways is as follows:
4.01.1 Access Class 1, Limited Access. Roadways. These highways do not provide
direct property connections. Roadways in this class provide for efficient and
safe high speed and high volume traffic movements, serving interstate,
interregional, intercity, and to a lesser degree, intracity travel needs.
4.01.2 Access Class 2, Controlled Access Roadways. These are highly controlled
access facilities distinguished by the ability to serve high speed and high
volume traffic over long distances in a safe and efficient manner. These
roadways are distinguished by a system of existing or planned service roads or
other lower class roadway connections to provide for localized access.
4.01.3 Access Class 3, Arterials, divided. These facilities are controlled access
facilities where direct access to abutting land will be controlled to maximize the
operation of the through traffic movement. This class will be used where
existing land uses and roadway sections have not completely built out to the
maximum land use or roadway capacity or where the probability of significant
land use change in the near future is high. These roadways will be distinguished
by existing or planned median restrictions and maximum distance between
traffic signals and driveway connections.
Packet Page -1250-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
4.01.4 Access Class 4, Arterials, undivided. These facilities are controlled access
facilities where direct access to abutting land will be controlled to maximize the
operation of the through traffic movement. This class will be used where
existing land uses and roadway sections have not completely built out to the
maximum land use or roadway capacity or where the probability of significant
land use change in the near future is high. These roadways will be distinguished
by existing or planned non- restrictive median treatments or no median
treatments.
4.01.5 Access Class 5, Arterials, divided. This class will be used where existing land
uses and roadway sections have been built out to a greater extent than those
roadways segments classified as Access Class 3 and 4 and where the probability
of major land use change is not as high as those roadway segments classified as
Class 3 and 4. These roadways will be distinguished by existing or planned
median restrictions.
4.01.6 Access Class 6, Arterials, undivided. This class Aill be used where existing
land uses and roadway sections have been built out to a greater extent than those
roadway segments classified as Access Class 3 and 4 and where the probability
of major land use change is not as high as those roadway segments classified as
Class 3 and 4. These roadways will be distinguished by existing or planned
non - restrictive median treatments or no median treatments.
4.01.7 Access Class 7, Arterials, divided and undivided. This class shall only be used
in urbanized areas where existing land use and roadway sections are built out to
the maximum intensity and where significant land use or road widening will be
limited. This class shall be assigned where there is little intended purpose of
providing for high -speed travel. These roadways can have restrictive, non-
restrictive or no median treatments.
Section Five: Assignment of an Access Classification to all Arterial and Collector
Roadways
Access Management Classifications (Class I through 7 as defined in Section Four) are
based on the criteria detailed in Section 5.02. These criteria take into account the
functional classifications as well as other disparate traffic characteristics. It is the intent
of this Section Five to assign classification to roadways and to individual roadway
segments that is consistent with sound planning principles and engineering practices.
5.01 Facilities that are functionally classified by the County as Arterials or Collectors
shall be assigned one of the Access Management Classes 3 through 7 except for
State highways which shall be classified by the Florida Department of
Transportation using their own criteria and where the Board of County
Commissioners has taken or may take future action to designate specific
facilities as Limited- Access or Controlled- Access facilities. These currently
include Livingston Road (entire length) and Collier Boulevard (CR -951) from
US -4I to Immokalee Road as Controlled- Access facilities (Glass 2) and the
future extension of Collier Boulevard (CR -951) North of Immokalee as a
Limited Access Facility (Class 1). The assignment of classification to a specific
Packet Page -1251-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
segment of roadway shall be the responsibility of the Transportation Service
Division with ultimate approval by the Board of County Commissions.
5.02 The classification decision shall take into consideration the potential for the
desired access management classification and standards to be achieved based on
existing land use, probability for land use change, adopted future roadway
plans, and on ultimate roadway cross sections identified in the adopted plans.
The assignment of a classification shall take into account consideration the
following factors:
5.02.1 The current and potential functional classification of the roadway;
5.02.2 Existing and projected future traffic volumes;
5.02.3 Existing and projected state, local and Metropolitan Planning Organization
transportation plans and needs, including consideration of new or improved
parallel facilities;
5.02.4 Drainage requirements;
5.02.5 Adjacent land use characteristics (existing and projected);
5.02.6 Local land use plans, zoning and land development regulations as set forth in
the Growth Management Plan;
5.02.7 Type and volume of traffic requiring access;
5.02.8 Operational aspects including corridor accident history;
5.02.9 Availability of reasonable access to an arterial or collector roadway by way of
adjacent local streets as an alternative to a direct connection to an arterial or
collector;
5.02.10 Cumulative effect of existing and projected connections on the arterials' or
collectors' ability to provide safe and efficient movement of people and goods
within the County.
5.03 Table 3 depicts the assigned Access Management Class based on the- criteria
enumerated in section 5.02 for all existing and presently proposed major
collectors and arterials. The designation of Livingston Road as an Access
Class 2 and Collier Boulevard. (CR -951) as Access Class I and 2 as previously
described shall take precedence over Table 4.
5.03.1 In addition to Table 3, a segment is added to Rattlesnake Hammock Road (CR
864), extending cast from Collier Boulevard (CR 951) to the "Ben.field Road"
corridor (as may be amended in name). The limits of which extend
approximately one mile, with an access management class of 5 ( <45 mph), to
be consistent with Table 1, above and Table 2, below.
Packet Page -1252-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
5.04 Activity Center access management plans are defined in the Land
Development Code but are subject to review and approval on a case -by -case
basis as land use proposals for development and redevelopment are submitted.
The access shall be considered with the intent to provide for the preservation of
capacity and the safety of the traveling Public.
Section Six: Review and Modification of Classifications
6.01 The Transportation Services Division shall. review the Access Management
Classifications for specific segments of arterial and collector roadways when a
major change in any of the factors noted herein have occurred or annually,
whichever occurs first. The review shall take the same form and procedure as
outlined in Section Five of this Policy.
6.02 A written request may be made by any person or organization to the
Transportation Services Administrator that the Transportation Services
Division to review the access classification of any specific segment(s) of an
arterial or collector roadway at any time. Such written request shall include the
specific basis to justify why the change in the roadway segment classification
is being sought, and shall indicate the desired roadway segment classification
and the specific justification therefore, based on the criteria herein. The
Administrator shall consider each such request, coordinating with the
appropriate organizations and committees named herein, and may initiate a
study to determine if the reclassification should be approved, approved in a
modified form, or denied under criteria outlined herein. Said proposed
reclassification shall be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners of
Collier County with appropriate background data for final adoption or denial.
Section Seven: Amendments
This Policy may be amended from time to time by Resolution of the Collier County
Board of County Commissioners.

EXHIBIT "A"
A.POLICY ESTABLISHING THE COLLIER COUNTY ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
FOR ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR ROADWAYS
SECTION ONE: PURPOSE
This Policy replaces that established by Resolution No. 92442 for the access classification system
and standards to implement regulation and control of vehicular ingress to, and egress from arterial
and collector roadways. The implementation of the classification system and standards is
intended to protect public safety and general welfare, provide for mobility of people and goods,
and preserve the functional integrity and capacity of arterial and collector roadways. To the extent
that Collier County has jurisdiction to do so, all limited - access, controlled access, arterial and
collector roadway facilities shall be assigned an access classification and access standard. These
standards shall be the basis for developing access management plans for county roadway
improvements and modifications, and for roadway or driveway connection permitting.
SECTION TWO: DEFINITIONS
2.01 Arterial — A signalized roadway that serves primarily through traffic and secondarily abutting
properties and that generally has signal spacing of two miles or less.
2.02 Classes — categories of arterials primarily grouped by signal density.
2.03 Collector — A street providing land access and traffic circulation service to a residential,
commercial or industrial area. Secondarily provides for local through traffic.
2.04 Connection — a driveway, street, turnout or other means of providing for the right of physical
access to or from a public roadway. For the purposes of this resolution, two one -way connections
to a property may constitute a single connection.
2.05 Connection Spacing — the allowable distance between connections, measured from the closest i-IN,
edge of pavement of the first connection to the closest edge of pavement of the second connection,
exclusive of radii, along the edge of the traveled way.
2.06 Controlled Access — means access, median openings, and traffic signals are highly regulated.
2.07 Corner Clearance — distance from and intersection of a driveway or street connection and a
limited- access, controlled access, arterial or collector facility. This distance is measured from the
closest edge of pavement of the connection, measured along the traveled way. The closest edge of
pavement shall be with existing lanes or future lanes, including turn and merge lanes, where a
roadway segment is par of an adopted five -year plan.
2.08 Directional Median Opening — an opening in a median that is restrictive to movements made from
or to the major roadway including the limitation of left-turn in, left-tum out, no U -turn, U -turn
only, or combination of the above.
2.09 Division — the Transportation Services Division of Collier County administered by the
Transportation Administrator or his/her duly authorized representative.
2.10 Full Median Opening — a median opening designed to allow for all movements to and from a
major roadway. U -toms may be prohibited at full median openings.
2.11 Intersection — an at -grade connection or crossing of local, collector, arterial, controlled access or
limited access roadways that may be either public or private.
2.12 Medians — areas, preferably at least ten feet wide, painted, raised or grassed, that separate
opposing - direction, mid -block traffic lanes and that on arterials, contain turn lanes that allow left
tuning vehicles to exit from the through lanes.
2.13 Median Opening Spacing — the allowable spacing between openings in a median to allow for
crossing of opposing lanes of traffic to access other roadway facilities, property access or provide
for U -turn movements. The spacing distance shall be measured from centerline to centerline of
openings along the traveled way.
P... t of 7
Packet Page -1260-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
1651Z 1 ,
2.14 Permitting Authority — Project Review Services of the Development Services Division or other
duly designated authority of Collier County with all provisions of this Resolution as it applies to
connection and its attendant permitting process, being reviewed and approved by the
Transportation Services Division of Collier County.
2.15 Reasonable Access — the number of direct or indirect connections necessary to provide ingress and
egress to the limited access, controlled access, arterial or collector facilities from abutting
properties and local roadways based on the Access Management standards, roadway operations
and type and intensity of land use. The applicant may submit site - specific information that the
applicant deems pertinent to the Permitting Authority's review of proposed connection permit
application
2.16 Service Road — a public or private street or roadway, auxiliary to, and normally, but not required
to be, parallel to a controlled or limited access facility, which has a primary purpose to maintain
local mad continuity, provision of access to adjacent parcels or development and minimizing the
number of connections to a limited or controlled access facility while maintain property access
rights.
2.17 Signal Spacing — the allowable spacing between adjacent traffic signals on limited access,
controlled access, arterial and collector facilities as measured from centerline to centerline of the
signalized intersections along the traveled way.
2.18 Significant Change — a change in the use of the property, including land, structures or facilities, or
an expansion of the size of the existing structures or facilities which will cause at least a 25 %
increase in additional new trips, either peak hour or daily, entering or exiting the site or which is
projected to exceed 100 trips per day more than the existing use, whichever is less. The number of
trips shall be determined using the most current edition of the "Trip Generation Manual" of the
Institute of Transportation Engineers. When such additional traffic is proposed or projected, the
property owner shall contact the Permitting Authority to determine if a new permit application or
modification to an existing permit shall be required. If the Permitting Authority determines that
the increased traffic generated by the change in use does not require modifications to the existing
permit or existing access connection, a new permit application shall not be required.
2.19 Traveled Way — the portion of the roadway for the movement of vehicles, exclusive of shoulders.
2.20 Turn Lane — that portion of the roadway dedicated to the turning movement (left-, right -, or U-
turning) of vehicular traffic onto or off of the through traffic lanes to adjacent streets or
developments. A turn lane must be long enough to accommodate enough turning vehicles to
allow the free flow of the through traffic.
SECTION THREE: CONNECTION PERMIT REOUIREMENTS
3.01 Connection permit applications on all public roadway facilities shall be reviewed in accordance
with the requirements of Ordinance 82 -91, as amended or superseded (Collier County
Construction Standards for Work Within Rights -of -Way) and this Policy. Access classifications
and design standards are shown in Table I and are further defined and described in Section Four
of this Policy.
3.02 Existing permitted connections, existing median openings are not required to meet the standards of
the assigned classification. Such features shall generally be allowed to remain in place unless for
safety, operation or protection of the roadway capacity deemed necessary to modify or close by
Collier County. These features shall be brought into reasonable conformance when new
connection permits are granted, following significant changes in property use, or as changes to the
roadway design occur.
3.03 A property that cannot be permitted access consistent with the standards for the classification
assigned to that particular roadway segment and which has no other means of reasonable direct or
indirect access as determined pursuant to the connection permit process, shall be issued a
Pave 2 of 7
Packet Page -1261-
11/12/2013 16.A.14.
1b61G 4
conforming permit by the Permitting Authority for a single connection pursuant to this Policy. If
additional connections are requested and approved, they shall be considered non - conforming and
shall contain restrictions and/or removal provisions.
3.04 Access class standards represent desirable requirements for each access class. As segments of
roadways are analyzed and connection permits are applied for, the ultimate goal is to exceed these
standards thereby providing for the preservation of the capacity, safety and general welfare of the
traveling public.
3.05 The connection and median opening spacing standards specified in this policy may not be
adequate in some cases. Greater distances between connections and median openings may be
required by the Permitting Authority to provide sufficient location specific traffic operations and
safety requirements. In such instances, the Permitting Authority shall document, as part of the
response to an application submitted pursuant to this Policy, a justification based on traffic
engineering principles, as to why such greater distances are required.
3.06 When a full median opening is constructed or reconstructed to allow for opposing left turns or U-
turns only, these openings shall be considered as one opening.
3.07 Adjacent properties under the same ownership shall not be considered as separate properties for
the purpose of applying the standards associated with the access class of the adjacent roadway
segment, but shall be deemed to be one parcel. Applicants requesting connections for one or more
adjacent properties under the same ownership may, however, as part of the perit application
process, request that the properties be considered individually for connection permitting purposes.
Such requests shall be included in the permit application and shall provide specific analyses and
justification of potential capacity decrease, safety and operational hazards associated with the
compatibility of the volume, type, or characteristics of the traffic using the connection. Such
properties and single ownership properties with frontage exceeding the standards of the assigned
class may not be allowed, pursuant to the permit application process in this Policy, the maximum
number of connections, median openings or signals based on the spacing standards. The total
number of connections allowed will be the minimum necessary to provide reasonable access.
Leasehold interests existing prior to the effective date of this Policy or a bonafide contract for sale
may be considered as separate ownership from the parent tract for the purpose of this Policy. Such
leasehold interests or contracts may not, however, be the sole criteria for determining separate
ownership for purpose of implementation of this policy.
3.08 The speed criteria referred to in Table 1, Access Classification and Standards, means the posted
speed limited for the roadway segment either existing or the established design posted speed limit
for facilities identified for improvement or not yet in existence.
3.09 Comer clearances for connections shall meet or exceed the connection spacing requirements for
Classifications 2 through 7. However, a single connection may be placed closer to the intersection
for the circumstances set forth in Sections 3.09.1, 3.09.2 and 3.09.3 following and pursuant to the
permit application process of this Policy.
3.09.1 If, due to property size, comer clearance standards of this Policy cannot be met, and where joint
access which meets or exceeds the applicable corner clearance standards cannot be obtained with a
neighboring property, or, in the determination of the Permitting Authority, is not feasible based on
conflicting Iand use or conflicting traffic volumes/characteristics, then comer clearance
measurements in Table 2 may be used to permit connections. Such properties, for the purpose of
this Policy, are called "isolated comer properties ".
3.09.2 In cases where connections are permitted under criteria specified in Table 2, following, the permit
shall contain the following additional conditions:
3.09.2.1 There shall be no more than one connection per road frontage.
3.09.2.2 Where joint or alternate access meets or exceeds the applicable corner clearance becomes
available, the permittee shall close the permitted connection, unless the permittee can then show,
by presentation of competent evidence, that such closure is not feasible because of conflicting land
Page 3 of 7
Packet Page -1262-

16B1?-
use, conflicting traffic volumes/characteristics, or existing structures preclude a change in the
existing connection.
3.09.3 The comer clearance measurements for the isolated corner properties set forth in Section 3.09.1
above, shall be as defined in this section, Classes 3 through 8, inclusive.
3.09.4 Comer clearances for "isolated corner properties" are as follows:

°— Connection by design will effectively eliminate unpermined movements.
3.10 Connections and median openings located within the '/. mile from the limited- access interchange
(includes the entire limited- access right -of -way frontage) shall be regulated consistent with the
requirements of the Rules of the Department of Transportation, Chapter 14 -97, State Highway
System Access Management Classification System Standards, Florida Department of
Transportation, as may be amended, and on controlled access and arterial roads within the first'/:
or '/4 mile, respectively, or first existing intersection whichever distance is less, shall be regulated
to protect the safety and operational efficiency of the limited access facility.
3.10.1 The distance to the first connection shall be at least 660 feet where the posted speed limit is greater
than 45 mph, and shall be at least 440 feet where the posted speed limit is 45 mph or less. This
distance will be measured from the end of the taper for that particular quadrant of the interchange
on the arterial facility. A single connection per property not meeting this connection spacing may
be provided, pursuant to the connection permit process, if no reasonable access to the property
exists and if the Permitting Authority review of the connection permit application provided by the
applicant determines that the connection does not create a safety, operational, or weaving hazard.
In such cases, application for more than a single connection shall be examined as non - conforming
connections.
3.10.2 The distance to the first median opening shall be at least 1320 feet as measured from the end of
taper of the egress ramp.
3.10.3 Connections and median openings meeting spacing standards may not be permitted in the location
requested in the permit application if the Permitting Authority determines, based on traffic
engineering principles, the engineering and traffic information provided in the permit application
shows that the capacity, safety, or operation characteristics of the interchange or the limited access
highway or roadway would be adversely affected.
3.11 Locations for proposed signalization meeting signal warrants which are at intervals closer than the
standard for the access class for the roadway segment shall be considered by the Permitting
Authority, but may only be approved where the need for such signals is clearly demonstrated for
the safety and operational characteristics of the roadway based on Permitting Authority Review of
the traffic and signal information provided by the applicant in the connection permit application.

SECTION FOUR: ACCESS CLASS DESCRIPTIONS AND STANDARDS
4.01 The access classification system and standards are shown in Table 1. The Access Management
Classifications are arranged from the most restrictive (Class 1) to the least restrictive (Class 7).
The standards for each class are differentiated where the posted speed limit is greater or equal to
45 mph as distinguished from where the posted speed limit is less than 45 mph. The general
description for Access Management Classifications 1 through 7 for county roadways is as follows:
4.01.1 Access Class 1, Limited Access Roadways. These highways do not provide direct property
connections. Roadways in this class provide for efficient and safe high speed and high volume
traffic movements, serving interstate, interregional, intercity, and to a lesser degree, intracity travel
needs.
4.01.2 Access Class 2, Controlled Access Roadways. These are highly controlled access facilities
distinguished by the ability to serve high speed and high volume traffic over long distances in a
safe and efficient manner. These roadways are distinguished by a system of existing or planned
service roads or other lower class roadway connections to provide for localized access.
4.01.3 Access Class 3, Arterials, divided. These facilities are controlled access facilities where direct
access to abutting land will be controlled to maximize the operation of the through traffic
movement. This class will be used where existing land uses and roadway sections have not
completely built out to the maximum land use or roadway capacity or where the probability of
significant land use change in the near future is high. These roadways will be distinguished by
existing or planned median restrictions and maximum distance between traffic signals and
driveway connections.
4.01.4 Access Class 4, Arterials, undivided. These facilities are controlled access facilities where direct
access to abutting land will be controlled to maximize the operation of the through traffic
movement. This class will be used where existing land uses and roadway sections have not
completely built out to the maximum land use or roadway capacity or where the probability of
significant land use change in the near future is high. These roadways will be distinguished by
existing or planned non - restrictive median treatments or no median treatments.
4.01.5 Access Class 5, Arterials, divided. This class will be used where existing land uses and roadway
sections have been built out to a greater extent than those roadway segments classified as Access
Class 3 and 4 and where the probability of major land use change is not as high as those roadway
segments classified as Class 3 and 4. These roadways will be distinguished by existing or planned
median restrictions.
4.01.6 Access Class 6, Arterials, undivided. This class will be used where existing land uses and
roadway sections have been built out to a greater extent than those roadway segments classified as
Access Class 3 and 4 and where the probability of major land use change is not as high as those
roadway segments classified as Class 3 and 4. These roadways will be distinguished by existing
or planned non - restrictive median treatments or no median treatments.
4.01.7 Access Class 7, Arterials, divided and undivided. This class shall only be used in urbanized areas
where existing land use and roadway sections are built out to the maximum intensity and where
significant land use or road widening will be limited. This class shall be assigned where there is
little intended purpose of providing for high -speed travel. These roadways can have restrictive,
non - restrictive or no median treatments.
SECTION FIVE: ASSIGNMENT OF AN ACCESS CLASSIFICATION TO ALL ARTERIAL AND
COLLECTOR ROADWAYS
Access Management Classifications (Class 1 through 7 as defined in Section Four) are based on the criteria
detailed in Section 5.02. These criteria take into account the functional classification as well as other
Page 5 of 7
Packet Page -1264-
11 /12/2013 16.A.14.
.
disparate traffic characteristics. It is the intent of this Section Five to assign a classification to roadways
100\ and to individual roadway segments that is consistent with sound planning principles and engineering
practices.
5.01 Facilities that are functionally classified by the County as Arterials or Collector; shall be assigned
one of the Access Management Classes 3 through 7 except for State Highways which shall be
classified by the Florida Department of Transportation using their own criteria and where the
Board of County Commissioners has taken or may take future action to designate specific
facilities as Limited- Access or Controlled - Access facilities. These currently include Livingston
Road (entire length) and Collier Boulevard (CR 951) from US 41 to Immokalee Road as
Controlled- Access facilities (Class 2) and the future extension of Collier Boulevard (CR 951)
north of Immokalee Road as a Limited Access facility (Class 1) The assignment of classification
to a specific segment of roadway shall be the responsibility of the Transportation Services
Division with ultimate approval by the Board of County Commissions.
5.02 The classification decision shall take into consideration the potential for the desired access
management classification and standards to be achieved based on existing land use, probability for
land use change, adopted future roadway plans, and on ultimate roadway cross - section identified
in the adopted plans. The assignment of a classification shall take into account consideration the
following factors:
5.02.1 The current and potential functional classification of the roadway;
5.02.2 Existing and projected future traffic volumes;
5.02.3 Existing and projected state, local and Metropolitan Planning Organization transportation plans
and needs, including consideration of new or improved parallel facilities;
5.02.4
5.02.5
5.02.6
5.02.7
5.02.8
5.02.9
Drainage requirements;
Adjacent land use characteristics (existing and projected);
Local land use plans, zoning and land development regulations as set forth in the Growth
Management Plan;
Type and volume of traffic requiring access;
Operational aspects including corridor accident history;
Availability of reasonable access to an arterial or collector roadway by way of adjacent local
streets as an alternative to a direct connection to an arterial or collector,
5.02.10 Cumulative effect of existing and projected connections on the arterials' or collectors' ability to
