HomeMy WebLinkAboutFW SR A1AGood morning Georganna, Can you take a look at the attached concept and give some guidance on how we could proceed? We are interested in a potential lighted intersection and alignment project at Thurm Blvd. Thanks, Todd <http://www.cityofcapecanaveral.org/> Launch your connection… <https://www.facebook.com/CityofCapeCanaveral> <https://www.instagram.com/cityofcapecanaveral/> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/city-of-cape-canaveral-the> <https://twitter.com/CapeCanaveralFL> From: Davis, Todd [mailto:Todd.Davis@dot.state.fl.us] Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2017 12:48 PM To: Todd Morley <T.Morley@cityofcapecanaveral.org> Subject: Re: SR A1A Good afternoon Todd! I apologize for the delay in response, as I am transitioning out as in-house consultant and back to my company. However, regarding your request, I have forwarded the email to Traffic Operations for their review. As it would be an operations review, rather than planning. In the future, it would be beneficial to include Heather Garcia (heather.garcia@dot.state.fl.us <mailto:heather.garcia@dot.state.fl.us> ) and Mike Sanders (michael.sanders@dot.state.fl.us <mailto:michael.sanders@dot.state.fl.us> ) on future emails/correspondence. You could also email me directly at tsdavis@vhb.com <mailto:tsdavis@vhb.com> , as these emails go directly to my phone. Including these email addresses would eliminate any future delays in response. I hope you have a great weekend and will let you know what I hear back from Traffic Ops. Lastly, I will be out this week on vacation; however will have Mike forward you any questions/comments if they may arise.

Hopefully this can shed a little more light on the matter. The draft plan is attached. Please see marked up version below. All properties are zoned C1 Commercial. There are two principal owners involved in this initiative: Bob Baugher and Tom Hermansen. Both are in support of the traffic light. * Property A: o Address: 8600 Astronaut Blvd. o Owner: Astronaut Properties c/o Bob Baugher. o Lot size: 5.51 acres o Building size: 64,000 sf. o Use: Single tenant office building. Currently under refurbishment for a new tenant. o Tenant: Comprehensive Health Services (CHS). They will be moving into their corporate headquarters into the building later this year. 400+ employees. o Notes: The existing driveway connection to SR A1A would be closed. A new driveway, to align with Thurm Blvd., would be constructed on Property B. * Property B: o Address: 8550 Astronaut Blvd. o Owner: Cape Canaveral Joint Venture c/o Tom Hermansen o Lot size: 12.44 acres o Building size: 161,000 sf. o Use: Vacant. Recently used for light manufacturing. The owner intends to split up into 2 to 4 sections and lease to different tenants o Notes: * A new driveway, to align with Thurm Blvd. would be constructed on this property. * If a light was installed, owner would seek to develop an outparcel for a small national/regional chain restaurant on the southeast corner * Property C: o Address: 8701 Astronaut Blvd. There are a total of 9 contiguous parcels, collectively addressed. All are bound by a Development Agreement with the City of Cape Canaveral as a Port of Call Facility. o Owners: Astronaut Properties c/o Bob Baugher, Cocoa Beach Motel c/o Bob Baugher and Robert A. Baugher, Trustee o Lot Size: approx 20 acres. o Building Size: Multiple buildings o Use: Port of Call Facility including Radisson Hotel and Convention Center. o Notes: Owner has developed draft plans for up to two additional hotels on the south side of the Radisson, as well as one or two out parcels for national/regional tenants on the northwest corner of the intersection. We believe a lighted intersection at this location could facilitate better/safer traffic movement especially considering the increased traffic flows from the coming CHS workforce and two additional hotels. Additionally there could be a considerable amount of new commercial investment along the corridor. The owners and I will be available to discuss the proposal with FDOT when appropriate.

I just wanted to follow-up with you regarding your below request and apologize for the delay in response. Here's what Traffic Ops mentioned: Do you have the location or the preliminary design plan mentioned? What type of study is being requested, a SWA or safety study? If they could provide a little more info, I could offer if it’s something we would evaluate or if the city should submit by permit. The gentleman I have been coordinating with is Mike Sanders of the FDOT D5 Traffic Operations unit.

A1A in Cape Canaveral. It would combine two off-intersection A1A access points on the east side of the roadway into one access point, aligned at the new signalized intersection. We support it and would like it to be reviewed and approved by FDOT. I spoke with Bob Kamm at the SCTPO yesterday and he suggested that I have the City Manager make a request that FDOT perform a Safety Study. Can you give me any guidance? Thanks!

I previously coordinated with the Traffic Operations unit a while back and know some spot speed studies were performed (which I have attached). However, when I was going through my emails and notes, I was not sure if I forwarded to you or if you received them from someone else at the Department. I know you mentioned your main concern was the speed limit and did not need a formal response, but didn’t know if you received the attached documents. Please take a look at them and let me know if you have any questions and / or comments that I can pass along to the Traffic Operations unit. Also, please let me know if there are any outstanding concerns the City may have. The corridor study was completed at the beginning of the year, but just wanted to circle back with you.
