Thanks Michael, that information is very helpful.
Todd, if you’d like to coordinate with the property owners on some
possible meeting times, we can coordinate with DOT Brevard Operations
via this email.

Subject: RE: SR A1A
Georganna:
First let me apologize for the delay if this was in our court for a
response. If I understand, the proposal is to realign the existing
driveway on the east side of SR A1A to create a plus intersection with
Thurm Blvd and install a traffic signal. The proposed improvements are
to support proposed/approved development at the intersection.
The good news is that the spacing of this intersection would appear to
be a location where signalization could be pursued, although it is just
short of our signal spacing standards of ¼-mile. A signal warrant
analysis would need to be completed showing that the existing and/or
proposed level of demand meets signal warrant thresholds. The driveway
on the east side of the roadway appears to be a private connection,
therefore the realignment would need to be completed by permit. Also, if
private development is creating the need for signalization, the
developer(s) are normally responsible for the cost of design and
installation. Moving forward, the next step would appear to be for the
property owners to schedule a meeting with our local operations unit to
discuss permitting requirements.
Sincerely,
Michael Sanders, P.E.

Hi Michael!
Is there someone in your group taking a look at this proposal / concept
for a signal and realignment at A1A and Thurm Blvd for the City of Cape
Canaveral? We think it would improve traffic movement, but I’m not
completely sure of all the approvals that it would need to go through.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Good 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

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.
Todd Davis

Hi Todd,
I wanted to circle back with you about the proposed lighted
intersection at Thurm Blvd. and A1A.
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.

Good morning Todd!
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.
Thanks,
Todd Davis

Good morning Todd,
We have received some preliminary private design work for a new
signalized intersection on S.R. 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!

Good afternoon Todd,
I know we have spoken in the past regarding the SR A1A corridor study
and the City’s concerns, but wanted to touch base again and see if there
were any outstanding issues.
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.
Thanks,
Todd Davis, P.E.
