b. Expenditures
i. Cost of Ownership
Roadway improvement projects near completion or which have been
recently completed have provided "on-going maintenance" to the
roadway areas due to the ongoing capital expenditures. Upon
completion, the projects will be subject to long-term public maintenance.
He recommended future Executive Summaries and budgets for Capital
Projects account for the on-going maintenance and cost of ownership of
the proj ect.

December 8, 2008
c. Cost Reduction Strategies
i. In-house Construction Engineering Inspection
Outsourcing of engineering consulting has been reduced due to the
existing economic climate.
ii. Value Engineering
More value engineering will be utilized in the future which assists in
reducing design and construction costs.
iii. Mitigation & Permitting
Continued utilization of mitigation opportunities available on County
properties (Panther Habitat Units from Conservation Collier's Pepper
Ranch property) will be employed.
d. Planning Initiatives
i. pPP's
ii. County Build-Out Vision Plan (RLSA)
1. Land Use
2. Multi - Modal Priorities
Begin to develop a County build-out Plan to create a Master
Plan to assist Transportation Planning in the location of County
facilities (landfills, Government Services, Transit Facilities,
etc.) which will provide a more cost effective road network.
iii. Corridor Management
Develop a Corridor Management Plan to facilitate the acquisition of
property for roadway improvements.
2. Corridor Management (1 :30 - 2:30)
a. Introduction to Corridor Management (Tin dale-Oliver) (1 :30 - 1:45)
Best Practices/Biggest Challenges
Steve Tindale of Tindale-Oliver Assoc. provided and overview on the concept
of Corridor Management noting the following:
. It identifies transportation corridors and attempts to manage
them before they become improved.
. Right-of-way vs. Corridor - Right-of-way - owned and rigid;
Corridors - managed and provides more flexibility.
. The concept of a Plan is incorporated in Policy 3.5 of the
Growth Management Plan (GMP).
. The Plan will be implemented through requirements in the
(LDC) Land Development Code (required setbacks, structure
locations, etc.)
. It provides for advance notice to current and future landowners,
orderly development and fewer development impacts.
. Critical Intersections are also identified in the Management Plan.
3
December 8, 2008
. The Plan will allow for interim land uses and incorporate a
waiver process for uses within the Corridor (landscaping,
recreation, etc.)
b. Broward County (Barbara Boy via phone) 10 Min.
Barbara Boy, Assistant Director, Broward County Planning Council
noted the following:
. A Management Plan has been in place since the 1960's.
. The Program has been highly successful in Managing
Transportation issues.
. It has provided a large tax savings by acquiring some right-of-
ways at no cost to the County.
. It can be difficult to implement the Plan in existing developed
areas or infill areas.
c. Palm Beach County (Allan Ennis & Robert Banks) 10 Min.
Allan Ennis, Palm Beach County Assistant Director of Transportation
noted the following:
. Thoroughfare Plan has been in place since 1976.
. It did face legal challenges which were overcome throughout the
process.
. The Plan utilizes base building lines which protects areas from
permanent structures but allows temporary structures such as
signs, fences, etc. to be removed at the time of road construction.
. The municipality jurisdictions within the County are not subject to
the requirements of the Plan; separate negotiations are.
d. Pasco County (David Goldstein) 10 Min.
David Goldstein, Pasco County Assistant County Attorney noted the
following:
. The County has a more recently implemented Plan (2005)
. It assists in reducing the impact fees for right-of-way.
. The strategies utilized are Administrative Variances, Transfers of
Density, and Allowance ofInterim Uses, etc.
. Pasco County is more undeveloped so fewer urban challenges are
encountered in developing and implementing the Plan.
e. Corridor Management Question and Answer 15 Min.
The following points were noted:
. There is a difference between exactions ofright-of-way and
management.
. Some of the Counties actually use exactions (acquisition of right
of way) in the process as opposed to land use management.
. In management, the landowner retains the property, its density and
allowable uses.
4
December 8, 2008
. The land area in question remains taxable until the property is
acquired.
. The variance procedure allows flexibility for landowners who face
a hardship in reasonable utilization of the property.
. The exaction process generally occurs at the Site Plan
Development stage.
. The density preservation of properties within the Corridor applies
to commercial and residential properties.
. Improved lots would be grandfathered (additions, remodeling, etc.
allowed)
3. Round Table - Questions & Answers - BCC Direction
(2:30 - Adjournment)
The Board recognized future Executive Summaries and budgets for a Capital Project
will account for the annual maintenance and cost of ownership of the project.
Discussion ensued on the logistics of implementing the Plan and whether the GMP
information required may be minimized to facilitate the future amendment process.
The general opinion of the participants were changes in roadway designs, etc. that
may occur within the Corridor identified and approved in the GMP, however items
such as revision in the widths of the Corridor would require an amendment to the
GMP.
It was noted some of the roads slated for future improvement are incorporated into the
existing Long Range Transportation Plan; however the Corridor Management Plan
will assist in providing notice to landowners on future Transportation improvements
so they may make informed decisions on land use.
It was recommended, to provide legal notice of the Plan to affected individuals at the
time of property purchase (constructive notices, disclosure statements for buyers,
etc.), as opposed to individuals being notified at the land development stage.
It was noted this process should be legally researched for constitutionality.
Discussion ensued on the impact fee rates in relation to declining costs of property
values in the current market and when impact fees will decrease as a result of this
factor.
Norman Feder, Director of Transportation noted he will provide information for the
on-going impact fee study to the Board of County Commissioners at a future date.
