body
DESCRIPTION
The Roads & Drainage Division received a request from a representative of the Holly Hill Estates subdivision to post speed limits within the subdivision. In researching the request, the Roads & Drainage Division discovered that a Resolution establishing speed limits for the subdivision roads could not be located and may not exist. Holly Hill Estates is located in the Davenport area in S-30, T-26S, R-27E, and its roads are classified as Local Residential roads.
Staff conducted traffic studies within Holly Hill Estates, as outlined in Section 316.189 of the Florida Statutes, and investigated the five-year crash history. It was subsequently determined that postings of 20 M.P.H. are reasonable for these roads. To comply with statutory requirements, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a Resolution establishing the proposed speed limits.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board adopt the associated Resolution to establish the proposed speed zones for Ashford Drive, Lobelia Drive, and Vervain Avenue, within the Holly Hill Estates Subdivision. Cost for installation of signs is estimated at $619.09.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 Transportation Millage Fund.
