jo Lho Council could have it belies under. ^,Landing of why the CnunLy has
been faced with the problem of tiaffic congestion and the severity of
it, 'dr. Walker firsr offered come background information.
Palm Beach County, by statistic^, is the fastest growing area in the
Cnunt ry. If the municil,al itie: and County .Mopped approving developments
todav, =hare are enough units Ln inventory to double the County's
population. There were 26,000 building permits issued iii the County
last year - enough to physically add 40,000 - 50,000 people to she County
<a year.
They made a list of all the roadways in Palm Beach County that warrant
improvements today. to acrornplash these nt today4, dances it would cost
opliroxzmately $200 million For the state system - $300 million for the
County ' >. If you used a conservative inflation rate of 1% per month,
the cost would increase $3 million n month for the roadways the County
is responsible for. The County isn't spe-vI —q $3 million a year for
roadvav improvements.
Recently. Hr. Jake Yarn, Secretary of the State DOT, made a presentation
in Palm Beach Count: and he basicaTly ;raid that unless they are allotted

City Council Uorkshop Meeting, 4/23 /Ell Page 3
The County asked the municipalities to participate with them in a program
that would require developers of new projects to pay "road impact ices ";
however, our Council was one of those that declined.
In the case of the "PCA National" project, the developer as part of his
annexation applrcaLion, agreed to continue to pay the road impact fees
at $115 per unit to the County.
They propose to expend from these monies the City collc - -ct:; for the County
approximately $90,007 to construct a center turning lane along the Holly
Drive /lhompson River and PrA Boulevard /Johnson Dairy Load segments of
Military bail. The balance of the cost is beano picked up from another
account /source of the County.
Mr. Ualker solicited the Council's support of a,-iv Roadway Improvement
Hand Referendum the County Commission may propose in the future.
Additionally, he requested the Council's adoption, as a part of the City's
Comprehensive Land f3;e Plan, the County'„ `noroughfare Rights -of -Way
Protection Plan ". This plan outlines thc, rights -of -way that will be
needed in the conceivable future to serve the population of the County:
and, vhcn implemented. lessons the ncqui�,it on costs. If, the cireum-
stsnces are such that the Pity couldn't acquire the stretch of lands
that woulri fall within t[W Ultimate riqht -of -way through dedication
ns a condition of development apernval, at least the rignt- of -vay lands
could be protected h` requiring, the setback of hui,dings to he measured
from where th,- property line will ultimately be.
fir. tdolker .r,spondr_d to inquiraes of the Council, as follews:
1. Taking, into rcrieideration the funds av;iilanlc', the maXlmurn benefit
will I)e realized from the irnprnvcment� he desrrlbed a^ proposed for
{- lilitary Trail. if the ;ri00,000+ vas used for four- laninc Military
lr -ail ;nail of Pf;A Iloulev,Ird, the two center lanes would still only
he used for left hard turns and the monies would only finance a very
short segment. Building a four -bane roadway with a median costs
approximately S1 million per colic. Because the existing Hilitary
Trail is ha irally hriilt on th., cnoterline where the median wc,uli go,
it would h2ve to Lie ripped out end no usage could he mode out of the
exi',t.iny pavement. Adding the third /center turninra lane <; will be
substantial imprrn,ement to the traffic floe.
2. The rontreot has been let for the construction of the third,'center
turning lanes. :hey should t accomplished within the next two
months.
i 1ty Council Workshop f1eet3 nc). 4/23,,81 Page 4
3. I'm ,urc we can accomplish some of the left -hand turning lanes
, the ,ntersectlonf; on flilitary Trnil beLwern (lolly Drive and
NorLt,'akc L'uulevard during the 1981,/1982 Fiscal Year, with a portion
of the monies to he taken from those that will /should again accum-
ulate in the "PCA Nat;onal's !toad Impact Tax" account.

Tnnglewood area to reducing their accesses. Fie and the City Manager
have looked into the situation and have not been able to come up
with anything passable. The City slave permission for the quantity/
!orations of tile, driveuays; and once they've been allowed, it's
drfficuti Lo require their deletion,
5. I would thin!- that the monies that are being expended by the County
Lo install the third /center turning lanes on flilitary Trail, a State
Road. could not be recouped at such time funds become available for
the State to four -;six -lane this arter-
G. The basic reason why the improvements they are now proposzny to make
to 11ilitary 1raLl are not consistent with the improvements that would
be scheduled if State funds were available is that the lanes are not
in the right place; they ,nr hiisjcnally near the center line, where
the median uould he. However, I don't see that beinq accomplished
in the nett 10 years unless there is a massive source of funding.
%. At '�I million plug pre m Ir,, the monifFc that are now available !s
net enough to accomplish anything menningful tnward the implementa-
tion of a io- jr - /:six -lane plan.
8. With the recent transfer of iuracdiction ever Mili,ary Trail from
the ( bunty to the State, the +CL!_\ lost its control over the roadway.
Per hale Mandate, Burin ictions over certain roadways within the
Suite arc bFlinq transferred frorn counties to municipalities, munica-
pal ties to countze.a>, counlies to the State, and. in come rases,
from the State to the counties. Because of the continuity it has,
fiLlitasy Trail ha been shifted to the Mate's control. Ther_ isn't
:im trend)ca wad for f1i1rt,"ry ;roll to revert hark to th;� County'::
control ul ;les -: thce is .egislation on the State level that would
allow Lt to happen. Tr,e City could address its request that certain
vehicles he proh ;hated from traveIlLng segments of flilitary Trail
Lo the Statr DOT office in Ft. lauderddic.

9. Thev do not have a rnrnprehensive plan fur traffic I_Ignalization,
it's difficuli_ to anticipate when traffic will he at a level to
require a signal. They'll happily addrens each -individual inter-
section the City reels would warrant a signal. Tf the criteria of
the "I'lanual on Traffic Control Devices ", which is accepted on a
nationwide hasis, is met, they will put in a traffic signal. Often
times, when The location is within corporate boundaries, the County
shares the cost with the municipality. They are not, at this time,
Short of funds to accomplish traffic signalization. They prefer
riot to perform a traffic study at a given intersection more frequent
than once every six months.
10. They will be happy to look into the installation of traffic signals
on I'lilitary Trail at its intersection with Arbor Way, Gardenia Drive,
Crestdale Street, the Garden Lakes /Square ingresses /egresses, and
Elm Stree=t.
Dice Mayor Mirtinc referenced a recent article in the newspaper where
County Commissioner Peggy Evatt indicated she needed the support of the
rest of the Commission in order to spearhead an effort to have the State
accelerate the improvements to Alternate A -1 -A; and requested Mr. Walker
to let the Council know what they can do to help.
rlembers of the Council thanked Hr. llalker for his presentatior.
