classifications af Countrp Clvb Drivs and �eabroak Road from ur�an
collectors t�v "limited neiqhborhood� access" streets. These
proposed amendments required changes to the Traffic Circulation
slement. Interqovernmental Goordination elsment and the Capital

SU&TECT: Response to Proposed Tequesta Comprehensive Plan
Amendment
Re-designation of Country Club � Seabrook Drive
Dear Mr. Ladd:
This letter is provided concerning Tequesta's proposed
Amendment to their Comprehensive Plan, which �ould implement a new
roadway designation for Country Club drive and Seabrook Drive.
This designation would also redefine the designated right-of-way
from an 80' width to a 50' right of way and s 15 foot "multi-
purpose" easement.
District concerns exist in two areas: 1} Access to, and
maintenance of existing sewerage and reuse water distribution
facilities within the current rights-of-way, and 2) transportation
access for Distxict vehicies to maintain timely, efficient and
appropriate response to service situations.
Country Club Drive is a corridor for major wastewater
transmission lines (up to 24") servinq the reqion, contains
collection facilities for adjoininq properties, and provides a
traffic corridor for servicing a significant area of the District
in the event of an emergency.
After discussians with Mr. Horniman and you, it is my
understanding that the 15' easement would not differ from $ riql�t-�
of-way in its func�ion for utility. purposes, �hich wou�d_ tiot
� necessitate ar;y utility relocations or �mpair access to facili�ies .'. `, ::'.
It was also discussed that the proposed designation wouYd not �
restrict access of District vehicles, or result in the termination
of Country C1ub�Drive a� the County line. °

May 31, 199•4
Page Two
Given that the new designation will not result in impairinq
access to existing facilities for maintenance and operation; or
adversely effect traffic pattern of the area restricting our
ability to respond to service problems; �e have no objection to
this Amendment, and offer this as part of the Countywide
Intergovernmental Coordination Program process and as part of the
normal Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, Comprehensive Planning
Process requirements.
Please provide a copy of the recorded easements to this office
upon your receipt.

RE: PRESUMED TEQUESTA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 94-1
Dear Mr. Ladd:
Thank you for meeting with Dan Weisberg and me on May 9, 1994 to discuss prop.osed
amendments to your Comprehensive Plan. We really appreciate having the opportuniiy
to review and comment on the proposed amendments prior to any Village action.
The proposed amendments include editorial revisions and substantive revisions. The
substantive revisions include the designation of two roads (Country Club and Seabrook}
as "Limited Neighborhood Access Streets" and enhanced intergovernmental coordination
policies. The substantive changes will necessitate amendmerrts to the �Ilage's Traffic
Circulation Element, Traffic Support Document, Existing Traffic Circulation Map, Capital
Improvement Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element.
It is our� understanding that the two roads would continue to operate as a public way with
Country Club- having access to Martin County. Both roads would have two lanes, with
an 80 foot right-of-way, 50 feet of which would be devoted to the road and the remaining
30 feet of right of way (15 feet each side of the road} dedicated for pathway's,
landscaping, and appropriate util'�ies. For purposes of ensuring consistency between the
Village's and the County's Comprehensive Plans, we would recommend the Vllage
petition the Traffic Division for an amendment to the Thoroughfare Right-of-Way
Identfication Map (fIM) which would reflect the above understanding. The �Ilage should

include the twelve criteria for amending the map.
� If the above does not accurately reflect our understanding of the Village's proposed
amendments, please contact Mr. Weisberg at your earliest convenience at 684-4030.
Again, thank you for the chance to review and comment on the proposed Comprehensive
Plan amendments.

improvement costs, provides service to
developed areas lackinq fuli service, or
promotea in-fill development;
� d) Whether the project represents a logical
� extension of facilities and services within a
designated Viilage Planning Area; and
e) Whether the proposed project is consistent
with plans of State agencies and the South
Fiorida Water Management District.
Objective: 1.2.0 Village expenditures in high hazard coastal areas
shall be limited to 100$ of those post disaster
improvements costs for facilities over which
. Tequesta has operational responsibility (e.g.:
potable water systems and pubiic streets and
recreational facilities).
Policies: 1.2.1 The Village shall expend funds in high hazard
coastal areas for the repiacement and renewal�of
public facilities over which Tequesta has
operational responsibility.
1.2.2 The Village shall continue to expend funds to
maintain existing facilities and seivices under
the �urisdiction of Tequesta at their existing
Levels-of-Service.
� Ob�ective: 1.3.0 Future development shall bear a proportionate

,
mean 100$ of that amount necessary to assure that
Tequesta Level-of-Service etandarda are
maintained as a result of development approval
for those facilities over which Tequesta has
operational control.
Policies: 1.3.1 The Village shall require local street, drainaqe,
sewage collection and potable water distribution
systems improvements, as required by the
application of the Tequesta Level-of-Service
Standards, of any new development necessitated by
such development.
1.3.2 Defined Recreation Facility needs may be met by

ensure the provision of needed capital
improvements at a level equal to, or exceeding,
the adopted Tequesta Level-of-Service standards.
Policies: 1.4.1 Prior to the issuance of Certificates of
Occupancy, �the Viilage shall require that all
public facilities are available to serve
development for which development orders were
previously issued. Development orders for future
development shali not be issued unless the
Viliage has demonstrated either of the
foliowing: (1) Compiiance with Tequesta Levei-of-

development regulations, and the availability of
necessary public facilities needed to support
such development at the time n�eded.
Policies: 1.5.1 P t ��
to issuing a development order or buiiding
permit, Viliage shall use Level-of-Service (LOS)
standards adopted in the various elements of this
Comprehensive Plan to review the impacts of new
development and redevelopment upon pubiic
facility provision. The Village shali not issue
a development order or building permit which
results in a reduction in service for affected
public facilities below these Level-of-Service
standards. A Iisting of LOS standards is

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IMPLEMENTATION
5-Year Schedule of Im rovements
The Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements for Fiscal Years
1989/90 through 1994/95 is presented on Table A review of
other Comprehensive Plan Elements leads to the conclusion that.the
goal, objectives and policies and five-year schedule of improvements
of the Capital Improvements Element are internally consistent with
the remaining Elements.
Operational impacts of Proposed Ca ital Improvement$
A review of proposed capital improvements, as presented on Table X-2
in relation to pro�ected increases in Viiiage operatinq expenses
(Ref. Tabie 12-2; Support Documentation Report) leads to the
concius�ion that little or no increases in Viliaqe staffinq levels
shouid result from programmed pro�ects.
Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation
- The Capitai Zmprovements Element including the Five-Year Schedule of
Improvements, shall be reviewed by the Capital Improvements
Coordinating Committee on an annual basis as part of the Village
annual budget procedure. Ariy revisions and/or amendments to �he

4.0 TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The TRAFFZC CIRCULATION element is required to be included within
� the Comprehensive Plan per requirements of State planning law and
rule criteria. Specifically, Chapter 163.3177(6)(b), Flori,da
Statutes, establishes the TRAFFIC CIRCULATION Element requirement
and Chapter 9J5.007 Florida Administrative Code, establishes
minimum criteria to guide its preparation.
This element contains a summary of the data, analyses and support
documentation necessary to form the basis for TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
goals, ob�ectives and policies.
In keeping with the requirements of Chapter 9J5.005 and 9J5.006
Florida Administrative Code, the TRAFFIC CZRCULATION element is
structured ac.cording to the following format:
o Traffic Circulation Data; and
o Traffic Circulation Analysis
An essential basis for planning traffic circulation systems within
the Village is the FUTURE LAND USE element. Initial traffic
volume data is presented on a roadway link basis.
4.2 TRAFFIC CIRCULATION DATA
. In order for the Viilage to responsibiy plan for its future, it
must assess the capability of its existing traffic circulation
system to s.erve current demand. The ability of the traffic
circulation system and its components to promote movement of
people, goods and services, while maintaining accessibility among
the various land use activities in the Village, will determine the
overall effectiveness of the system.
This inventory of the existing traffic circulation system has been
prepared to estabiish the basis for examininq the existinq roadway
deficiencies and, further, to initiate pians to serve the Viilage's
future growth and development. Roads located within the Village
inciude those that are the responsibility of Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT, State Road), Paim Beach County (County
Road); and the Viilage (aii the remaining roads not privately
owned). .
4-1
, '
4.2.1 Roadway Classifications
The Village's roadways are identified according to the FDOT
Roadway Functional Classification System, as required by Chapter
9J-5.007(1)(b). The definitions presented below describe the
"functional" terminology used throughout this Eiement of the Plan.
Limited Access Facility - Roadways designed for through traffic,
� over, from or to which users have no greater than a limited right
or easement of access (e.g. an expressway, I-95).
Arterial Roads - Routes providing service which are relatively
continuous and of relatively high traffic volume, long average
trip length, high operating speed and high mobility importance.
In addition, every United States numbered highway is an arterial
road.
Urban Principal Arterial Roads - Routes which generally serve the
major centers of activity of an urban area, the highest traffic
voiume corridors and the longest trip purpose and carry a high
proportion of the local urban area travel on a minimum of
mileage. The routes are internally between major rural
connections.
Urban Minor Arterial Roads - Routes which generally interconnect
with and augment urban principal arterial routes and provide
service to trips of shorter length and a lower level of travel
mobility. Such routes include all arterials not classified as
"principal" and contain facilities that place more emphasis on
land access than the higher system.
Coilector Roads - Routes providing service which are of relatively
moderate average traffic volwne, moderately average trip length
and moderately average operating speed. Such routes aiso coilect
and distribute traffic between locai roads or arteriai roads and
serve_as a linkage between land access and mobility needs.
Locai Roads - Routes providing service which are of relatively low
average traffic volwae, short averaqe trig length or minimal
through-traffic movements and high land access for abutting
property.
4.2.2 Rosdway Description
The Viilage of Teqvesta is a smaii residentiai community of
approximately 4,700 peopie located at the north end of Palm B�ach
County. The Viilage is bounded on the north by the county line
(Mart3.n County being the neighbor to the north), the Atlantic
Ocean and the Zntracoastai Waterway on the east, the Town
4-2
of Jupiter on the south, and the Loxahatchee River and the North
West Fork of the Loxahatchee River on the southwest and west
boundaries.
The V111age of Tequesta's roadway network can generaliy be
'described as a modified qrid system. This is due to the north-
south street designs being angular or curvilinear in layout,
following natural, man-made features or the shorelines of the area
water bodies that stretch in the same direction. The east-west
streets basically follow the normal grid pattern. The existinq
street system in the Village of Tequesta has been signiflcantly
influenced in its development by the existence of the Intracoastal �
Waterway, the Florida East Coast Railroad, the Loxahatchee River
and its tributaries, and U.S. Highway One.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation Functionai
Highway Ciassification System, the Village contains an arterial,
urban collectors and local roadways, but does not have any limited
access facilities. A Florida East Coast Railway line passes
through the Viilage on the west side of Oid Dixie Hiqhway. There
are two passing sidings but no dead end sidings and only one rail
crossing, at Tequesta Drive, within the corporate limits of
Tequesta. Aiso, ports, airports, high speed rail lines or related
facilities are not found in the Village and further consideration
of these facilities will not be given herein.
Primary north-south access to from and through various portions of
the Village is provided by U.S. Highway One (SR 5), County Road
(CR) 707/U.S. AIA, Oid Digie Highway, Seabrook Road and Country
Club Drive. U.S. Highway One carries the greatest volume of
traffic through the Village and this facility is classified as an
urban principal arterial with maintenance responsibility provided
by the State. U. S. Highway One is presentiy a six lane divided
facility extending through the Village's corporate limits.
Further, U.S. Highway 1 extends throuqh Palm Beach County and
continues northward up the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Both CR 707 (U.S. AIA) and Oid Diuie Hiqhway are cl�ssified as
County Urban Coilectors. CR 707 is a two lane undivided road
within the corporate limits of Tequesta. CR 707 intersects with
U.S. Highway One at the Viilage's south corporate limit and extends
easterly a short distance then northerly up the Atla�ntic Coast into
neighboring Martin County.
OId Dixie Highway which parallels U.S. Highway One to the west is a
two iane undivided road which aiso extends through the Village in
prima=ily a north-south direction. .

Beach Urban Stvdy Area tWPBUSA). The primary stations are located
at desiqnated aorth-south and ea6t-west ^screenlines". The volumes
aggreqated at these locations aid in the determination of
iansaqe requirements nscessary to maintain a desiqnated level of
service where possible. Covnts ars also taken at selected "point"
locations along ma3or thoroughfares and intersections of interest.
Aqencies that administer traffic count proqrams are the Palm Bsach
County Engineering Dspartment, the Florida Department of
Transportation, the Gitp of West Palm Beacb, the Citp of Hoca Raton
and the Town of .Palm Beach. E�ach maintains its countin� prcqram
and cooperates with the Metropolitan Planninq Orqanization tMPO) of
Palm Bsach County providinq input to the long ranqe transportation
planninq pro�ess for the study area.

In an effort to capture 6easonal variations that may occur and
arrive at an Averaqe Daily Traffic (ADT) volume f or a given
calendar year, a 24-your count is taken durinq the first (peak
eeason> and third (off-peak �eason) calendar year qvarter6. All
counte, unlese otherwise noted, reflect two-way traffic. It should
be nvted that since 1984, excludinq permanent count stations and
Florida Turnpike counts. FDOT has been countinq only once per
calendar year. FDOT ie veinq a factorinq proqram to arrive at an
. annual daily averaqe.
As of 1987, there were 567 count stations located in the WPBUSA. A
total of six traffic count stations are located either within
Tequesta or are in close proximity to the Villaqe. Two count
6tation6 on U.S. Hiqhway One were inventoried, one of which lie6
out6ide of the Villaqe limits, but they are the closest count
stations servinq Tequesta. One of these stations is located 7ust
south of CR 707, and the other is locatgd approximatsly three
tenths of a mile south of County Line Road.
Two Count Stations were inventoried on County Road 707 (AIA>. One
is located at the Palm Beach-Martin County Line. The other is
located approximatelp one hundred f eet east of its intersection
with U.S. Hiqhway One at the Villaqe's Southern corporate limit.
Thera is a Count Station located on Old Dixie Hiqhwap 7ust sovth of
its intersection with Tequesta Drive within the Villaqe.
The final Count Station i6 located on Tequesta Drive approximatsly
one hundred f ifty feet west of Old Dixie Hiqhwap.
An historical accountins� of traffic counts and volumes from 1970 to
1988 are provided in Table 4-2 for the count stations described

4.2.4 Limitad NeiQhborhood Access Strests/Local Plannina
Ptarposes
There are twa f2> streets in the Villaae of Tsaussta that are
identified as "Limited Neicrhborhood Accsss Strests". Thev are
Countrv Club Drive and 8sabroak Road. These strsets are defined as
suah for local vlanninc �ur�osss because of the univueness of these
streets. Thev are, therefore, not considersd to be vart of the
� State functional roadwav svstem.
Gountrv Club Drive is a two lane uadivided roadwav extendinc from
TeQUSSta Drive to the northern limits of the Vi11aQe. 5eabraok Rvafl
is also a twv lans undivided rQadwav extendinv betwsen Countv Line
Road and Tecussta Drive.
In 1992 and 1993 tha Villace of TeQUesta embarked on a"studv of land
usss and future traffic vatterns in ths Gauntrv C1vY� Drive/TeQUesta
Driee Gorridor. A revort was vreDared in Februarv. 1993 bv Traffic
Enctinserinv. Inc. <TEI> which addresssd the futvre crowth votential
f rQm Tecuesta. Martin Gountv. Palm Heach �ountv and the Town of
Ju�itsr. It was determined that devsiovment in each of these
�urisdictions would have a direct imvact on the Gountrv �lub
Drivs/TeQUesta Drive Carridvr.
As a result af this corridor studv. it was envisioned that Countrv
�lub Drive and Ssabrook RQad be dsleted from Countv Network Mavs,
and be Qiven a Glassification hicher than other local roads in the
Villa�e, It was rsaammende� that the roadwaq classificativn for
Cvuntrv Glub Drive and Seabrook Road be redsfined as Limited
Neiahborhood Assess Streets. This new desivnation was meant to
estaYalish a nsw set of Griteria bv which to manavs and �cantrol

4.3 TRAFFIC GIRCULATIQN DATA SUMMARY
This section is intended to analgze existinq traffic circulation
lsvels and systems needs based upon existinq design capacitiss of
the roadway system. This analysis a16o addrssses the need for
expansian to existing facilities or the need for new facilities to
prc+vide safe and efficient operatinq conditions within ths
Viliage's rvadway network.
4.3.1 Levels of Service
Levels of service (LOS) are a qood means of summarizing facility
conditions. The Lt7S of a roadway is defined as the abilitg vf a
maximum num�er af vehicles to gas6 over a qiven section of roadway
or through an intersection durinq a specified time period, whils
maintaining a given .aperating condition. A lsvsl of service
definition generally describes opsrational conditions in terms of
such factors as speed and travel time, freedvm to maneuver, traffic
interruptions, comfort and cvnvenience, and safetp.
The 2985 Hiqhway Gagacity Manual, pregared by the Transportation
Rasearch Board of the National Research Gouncil, dafines levels �f
ssrvics fvr rQads and streets that ars an accepted State vf the Art
Standard.
Six levsls of service are def ined for each type of facil ity for �
urhich analysis procedures are available. Thep are qiven Ietter
designativns, frvm A tQ F, with level of ssrviae A repressntinq the
best opsratinq conditions and levsl of ssrvics F tha worst. In
gsnsral, the various levels of ssrvice ars defined as follows f or
uninterrupted flow facilities.
l. Level of Service A represents free flow. Individual users are
virtual I}� unaffectsd by the presencs Qf vthers in the traff ic
stream. Freedvm to sslect dssired spesds and to maneuver within
the traffic stream is extremely high. The gensral lsvel of
comfort and canvenience provided to the motorist, passenger, or
pedestrian is excellent.
4-12
2. Lsvel of Service B is in the range of stable f low, but the
prssence of other users in the traffic stream begins to be
noticsable. Fraedom to sslect desirsd spesds is relatively
unaffected. but there is a sliqht decline in the frsedom to
maneuver within the traffic stream from LOS A. The level of
comfort and convenience prvvided is somewhat less than at LOS A,
because the presencs of others in the traffic stream begins to
affect individual behavior.
3. Level of Service G is in the ranqe of stable f low, but marks the
bsqinninq of ths range of flow in which ths opsration of
individual users becomes significantly affectsd by interaotior�s
with athsrs in the traffic stream. The selsction of speed is
now affscted by ths presence of others, and maneuvering within
ths traffic strsam requires substantial vigilance on the gart of
the user. The gensral level of comfort and convenience declin�es
noticeably at this 1$vel.
4. Level of Service D represents high-density, but stable, flow.
Speed and frsedam to maneuver are severelp restricted, and the �
driver or gedestrian experisncss a generally goor level of
comfort and cvnvenience, Small increases in traffic flow will
qenerally causs ogerational probisms at this level,
5. Level of Service E represents operatinq conditions at or near
the capacity ievel. All speed6 are reduced to a low, but
rslativelp unif�rm value. Fresdom to maneuver within the
traffic strsam is extremelp diffiault, and it is gensrally
aaaamplished by forcing a v�hicle or psdestrian to ^give way^ tv
accommadate such maneuvsrs. Comf vrt and convenience le�els are
extremelp pavr, and driver or gedestrian frustration is
generally high. Ogerations at this level ars usually unstabis.
bscause smail increas�s in flvw vr minor gsrturbations within
the traffic strsam will cause breakdawns.
6, Level of Service F is used to def ine forced or breakdown f low.
This conditivn sxists wherevsr the amount vf traffic apgroachinq
a paint excaeds tha amount which can traverse the point. Qusues
form bshind suah locations. Opsrations Within the queue ars
characterized by stop-and-qo waves, and they are sxtremely
unstable. Vehicles may gr4gress at rsasonable spseds for
several hundred fest or more, then be required to stap in a
cyalic fashion. Level of Servias F is used to dssaribe the
opsrating conditions within the queue, a� well as the point of
ths breakdown. It shauld be nated, hvwevsr, that in many cases
vperating conditions of vshicles vr psdestrians dischargsd fram
the queus map be quite gved. Nevertheless, it is the goint at
which arrival fiow sxceeds discharqs flow whi�h causes the qusug
tc► form, and Level of Servics F is an apgropriatg designativn fvr
su�h points,
4-13
It should be nated that thess definitions are qeneral and
conceptual in nature, and they apply primarily to uninterrupted
flvw. Levels of ssrvice for interrupted flow facilities vary widely
in tsrms of both ths user's perception of servica quality and th�
operational variables used to describe them. Each chagter of the
1985 Hiahwav Capacity Manual contains a dstailed desaription of the
levels of service as d�f ined for each facil ity type.
Ths capacity of a roadway is often defined as the maximum number of
vehicles which have a reasonable expectation of gassinq over �
given roadway sectian or through a qivsn intersection under
prevailing road and traffic conditions durinq a specified period of
time. Ths Florida Dsgartment of Transgortation <FDGT> hae
identified and a�3opted raadway cagacities for various types of
roads, and classified them by levels of service bassd on the 198�
Highway Cagacity Manual. These cagacities are given as botY�
gsneral highwap 24-haur maximum volumes and gsneral hiqhwap geak
hour maximum volumes which are illustrated in Tablas 4-4 and 4-5.

Qnce the roadway capacities are established, the average annual

capacities �V/G> ratia can be dsterminsd assuming Lsvel of Ssrvice E
as the maximum accsptable cagacity of a rvadway. The same is true
when considsring peak hour demand to geak haur capacity. The

Hased upon the volume/capacity ratios, the ma�or roadway syatem
(i.e. arteriale and collectors) are examined using the current
1988 AADT counts to determine each roadway segment's existing
level of service. According to 9J-5.005 Fiorida Administrative
Code, the requirement is estabiished under 9J-5.005.4 that at
least two planning perioda be considered. The first being at
least the first five-year period subsequent to the plan's adoption
and the second for an overall ten-year period. Since the Tequesta
Comprehensive Plan is scheduled for adoption in 1989, the
existing capacity analysis will be based on the 1988 AADT counts
projected to 1989 which will be the base year from which a 1994
five-year planning period and a 1999 ten-year planriing period wili
be established. The methodology used in deriving the projected
figures will be described in further detail in Section 4.3.4,
Analysis of Pro�ected Needs. The results of this capacity
analysis by roadway segment are illustrated in Table 4-6.

4.3.2 Analvsis of Existinc Deficiencies
It i6 recommended that LOS C will be adopted by the Villaqe as the
acceptable 6tandard, generally, for all collector, limit�d
neivhborhood access srreets and arterial roadways within its
jvrisdiction. Thie will promote con6istsncy with Florida Department
of Transportation, Treasure Coast Reqional Planninq Council, the
Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planninq Orqanization and Palm Beacri
County, all of which have adopted LOS C as their standard.
Accordinq to Table 4-6, all the roadway segmente analyzed within the
Villaqe are at level of service B or better.
These findinqs indicate that the existing roadway system needs of
ths Villaqe are currently adequate and the �lillaqe of Tequesta has
no immediate roadway capacity improvement6 to consider.
4.3.3 Accident Data Analysis
Traffic accident data are maintained by the Villaqe Police
Degartmsnt. Accident data f or 1988, best available existinq data,
were extractad from the Degartment's records for analysis purgoses.
Only those traffic accidents that were reported are contained ia the
data analyzed in this section.
Table 4-7 summarizes the accidents which occurred on the FDOT
Functional classified Roadways within the Villaqe between January
i9a8 and December 1988 and shows that most of the accidents ( 22�i
excludinq off -road vccurrences Ci.e. Parkinq Lots), within the
Villaqe occur on U.S. Hiqhway One and/or its interseations. Based
upon the data from this fiqure, the followinq road seqments and
intereections were identified as frequent accident areas within the
Villaqe:
1. 0. S. Hiqhwap Ons at Teqvesta Drive
2. Tequesta Dr1V6 and Plaza Aap Intersection
3. Tequesta Drive and Old Dixie Highway intersection
4. Tequssta Drive and Seabrook Road intersection
Analysis of the •data indicates that fiftp-twa p�rcent of the
accidents ( i. e. 70) reported occurred �off af the roadway in off-
strest parkinq lots. Of those accidents that accurred directlp on
ths roadway, it is noted that the two most frequent accident
location were at ths intersections of O.S. Highway Ons at Tequesta
Drive/Waterway Road and Tequesta Drive at Pla�a Way, whsre,siz
accidents ger location were rsported.
The next most common aacident location was reported at the Old Dixie
HiqhwaylTequesta Drive intersection. Thirty peresnt of the traffic
accidents on Tequesta Drive occurred at or near the intersection af
Flaza Wap with nineteen percent rscorded at Old Dixie followed
claselp bp Seabrook Aoad which had fifteen per cent of the
accidents.

An improvement to aileviate one of these accident hazards is
currently in the County's Five-Year Transportation Improvement
Program (T.I.P.). This improvement committed to by Pal� Beach
County is to five lane Old Dixie Highway from SR 811 to Tequesta
Drive Road which should provide relief to its intersection at
Tequesta Drive. According to the Palm Beach County Five-Year Road
Program (1988-1993), funding for widening Old Dixie Highway to five
lanes from SR 811 to Tequesta Drive, and three lanes from Tequesta
Drive north to County Line Road has been scheduled for completion in
the year 1990.
Also, the Village as an expression of concern for improvinq traffic
flow within Tequesta, authorized the preparation of a traffic study
for the purpose of providing a detailed evaluation of the existing
and future traffic congestion and accessibility within the Village.
This traffic study completed in 1967, included herein by reference,
measured the existing traffic impact on existing roadway conditions
(number of lanes, signal timing, left turn lanes, etc.) as well as
for future traffic pro�ections for many of the local roadways in
addition to roads identified in this Element. Many of
recommendations from this study will be identified in Section 4.3.5,
Issues and Opportunities.
The remaining improvements necessary to aileviate accident hazards
entail traffic signalization, improved roadway maintenance and
additionai signage which are relatively small scale and require
expenditures of less than ten thousand dollars per project. Only
the improvements of relatively large scale $10,000.00 or greater are
included in the CAPZTAL IMPROVEMENTS Element of this Comprehensive
Pian. Therefore, improvements to relieve high accident frequency
locations wiii be inciuded in the Viilage's annual budget rather
than this pian, since they invoive a range of pro�ect costs below
the scope of this TRAFFIC CIRCULATION Element and the CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS Element.
4.4 Analyais of Projected Needs
, Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 9J-5, Fiorida Administrative
Code, pro3ections of the future traffic circulation leveis of
service and systems needs were prepared based upon the future land
uses shown on the future iand use map, inciuded in the FUTtJRE LAND
USE Element of this Comprehensive Pian
The Villaqe of Tequesta is located within an urbanized area and is,
therefore, within the Paim Beach County Metropolitan Pianning
Organization (MPO) �urisdiction. The MPO has recently compieted a
transportation study referred to as the West Paim Beach Urban Area
Transportation Study, Recommended 2010 Hiqhway Pian which pr.o�ects
future traffic volumes to the year 2010. Thia study has not yet
been adopted by the MPO, however, for purposes of this analysis,
these volumes wiii be uaed to pro�ect 1994 and 1999 AADT roadway
voiwnes .
4-21
S
As mentioned in the previous Section, 9J-5.0005 Florida
Administrative Code requires that both a five year (1994) and a ten
year (1999) planning period be analyzed. In order to derive traffic
volume projection for both 1994 and 1999, compound annual growth
rates were calculated in Table 4-8 based upon traffic volume between
1988 as shown in Table 4-2, and the projected 2010,.traffic volumes.
However, a roadway volume for Seabrook Road was not pro�ected in the
2010 Highway Plan. Therefore, the Seabrook Road volume was derived
�" based upon best available information from the traffic study
prepared by Gee 6 Jenson in 1987. Using the Peak Hour Link Analysis
Table, a compound annual growth rate was determined to be 1.41
percent. Using this� growth rate, the analysis pro,jected a peak
' hour volume to year 2010, then appiied a peak hour factor of 9
percent to obtain a 2010 AADT volume of 6400.
According to the �'uture Land Use Element, Village build-out is
projected to occur in 1996 resulting in a theoretical stabilized
condition from 1996 through 1999.
The methodology used for analyzing the Viilage's projected system
needs was the same as that utilized for analyzing the existing
roadway needs in the previous section by assuming a desired LOS C
for ail traffic voiwnes on arterial and collector roadways, then
calculating V/C ratios for each of the roadway segments using
projected traffic volumes for 1994 and 1999. The results of these
capacity analyses are iliustrated in Tabies 4-9 and 4-10,
respectively. These findings indicate that the Viilage's roadway
system capacity is adequate through 1999 with oniy Tequesta Drive
being at LOS C.
Also, roadway capacities were caiculated to determine operating
efficiency or levei of service (LOS) C during peak hour traffic
flows. LOS C is the range of flow in which the operation of
individual users becomes significantiy affected by interactions with
others in the traffic stream. Table 4-11 identifies the findings for
the designated links. The resuits indicate that none of the links
examined exceed a Peak Hour Los of B. �
4.5 ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The transportation system serving Tequesta has been generaily
efficient in circulating traffic in and through the Villaqe.
Maintenance of the existing roads and streets has been effectuated
on an as needed basis, and capital improvements to the system have
been planned weli in advance. The Viilage has continued to work
with other levels of government regarding roads that are under
jurisdictions other than Tequesta. These cooperative and
coordinated efforts, in con�unction with locai programs, have
provided an effective road and street system in Tequesta. However,
the construction/maintenance of roadway improvements is one of
the Viliage's largest annuai fiscai challenges. As indicated in

4.5.5 Intergovernmental Coordination
Intergovernmental coordination is essential for the development of a
cost efficient approach to obtaining traffic circulation system
improvements within the Village. Since the arterial streets in the
Village of Tequesta are under .the �urisdiction of other agencies and
levels of government, it is clear that the Village does not possess
the resources nor is it fiscally responsible for correcting ali the
traffic circulation system needs to these roadways. Therefore, it
is necessary for the Viliage to review the transportation
improvement plans and programs prepared by the County and FDOT. In
this way, the dollars expended by the Village to improve its traffic
circulation system may be complemented or even enhanced by the
activities of the County and FDOT.
4.5.6 Future Right,of Way Protection
One area of coordination sh�uid inciude the preservation and
protection of rights-of-way for future roadway improvements and
construction where possibl�. With the escalating value of land and
costs of right-of-way acquisition, it becomes essentiai that the
Viilage protect roadway corridors to the extent possibie in advance
from building encroachment. Increased right-of-way costs reduce
funds availabie for construction. FDOT has indicated in the 1987
Fiorida Transportation Plan that it will consider, as part of its
project priority analysis, the availability and protection of rights-
of-way and wili place a higher funding priority on pro�ects located
where right-of-preservation and protection measures have been
implemented. Therefore, it would be advantageous for the Viilage to
utilize such techniques as set back requirements, zoning
restrictions, right-of-way protection regulations and official
traffic-way maps to preseive and protect existing and future rights-
of-way. The Viliage currentiy participates in Paim Beach County
Right-of-Way Protection Pian.
4.5.7 Mass Transit
Public transportation/mass transit was not considered, at this time,
as an appropriate solution for improving the levei of service on the
Village roadways due mainly to its population size. The population
was found to be of neither sufficient magnitude nor density to
ensure cost-effectiveness. According to 9J-5.008, a mass transit
element needs to be prepared when the popuiation reaches 50,000 or
more which is far above the Viliage's 1999 projected population
(i.e. 5,084). The provision of a public transportation system in
Paim Beach County has been in the form of bus service. The Paim
Beach County Transgortation Authority (COTRAN) operates and
maintains this system. A regional pubiic transportation syatem does
not exist, but the Viilage continues to support the concept. .
