-Sufficiency. Letter Review # 001
Dear Ms. Medina:
Via Fax and US Mail
Subsequent to our December 4, 2008 review comments for the subject project, we have received a
response letter and a revised report from Richard Garcia and Associates Inc. (RGA) dated
December 8, 2008. A copy of RGA's response letter is attached herewith.
At this time, we conclude that the traffic impact report meets all the traffic requirements and the
study is found to be sufficient.
Please note the traffic study identifies following Transportation Control Measures (TCM) in
recognition of utilizing the alternate modes of transportation and higher vehicle occupancy:
1. Car pooling;
2. Ridesharing into the site;
3. Providing bicycle racks.
The development approval should be conditioned upon this TCM plan being implemented to
recognize the credits given towards the transportation concurrency management. Previously we
had recommended accommodating a northbound right -turn lane with sufficient storage to
accommodate the heavy right -turn volume out of the project driveway at the intersection of NE 14th
Street and NW 11 th Avenue. The approval should be conditioned to implement the proposed lane
configuration. Further, the applicant should coordinate with Miami -Dade County Traffic Signals
Division to secure approval of the proposed turning movement phase addition to this traffic signal.
Should you have any questions, please call Ms. Geysa Sosa or me at 954.739.1881.
Sincerely,
U CorZiceler
