City of Winter Garden • Letter from City Manager (May 17, 2007) • City Commission requests alternate site be found • Recommends conditions if approved • 200 Students • Locate School at Corner of Site • Deceleration/Acceleration lanes • Improve Roberson/Windermere intersection by adding left and right hand turn lanes where needed
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ANALYSIS • The intersection is operating at poor levels of service with existing traffic because of the single approach lanes. • The proposed use will further degrade the level of service if no improvements are made. • If left turn lanes are constructed on all approaches, the level of service with existing and proposed traffic will improve to Level of service C in the AM peak hour and D in the PM peak hour. • Further improvements in level of service will result if right turn lanes are also constructed on all approaches. The right turn lanes will provide some additional capacity for future traffic growth.
BZA FINDINGS • Three (3) BZA Members: Proposed use is not similar or compatible with the surrounding uses in area and acts as a detrimental intrusion into the existing residential neighborhoods. • Three (3) BZA Members: Proposed use is compatible with surrounding uses in area.
