PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Preliminary Plan – Oman Subdivision, 900 Franklin Road

Ragan Smith Associates requests approval of a preliminary plan for the Oman Tract. The property was rezoned via Ordinance 2018-12, which was approved by the Board of Commissioners on September 27, 2017.

The specifics of the plan are shown in the following table:

*FEATURE*	*AREA (SF)*	*AREA (AC)*
Project Area	--	34.00
Average Lot Area	54,161	1.24
Smallest Lot area	43,579	1.0004
Largest Lot area	111,009	2.55
Open Space Required	0	0
Open Space Provided	232,175	5.37
*PROPOSED DENSITY -- Dwelling Units per Acre*		*0.62*

The preliminary plan shows an excess open space of 5.3.7 acres. The approved OSRD Development Plan showed 5.33 acres. Because the permanent open space is affected the Board of Commissioner must approve, via resolution the revised OSRD Development Plan.

The developer has agreed to contribute $75,000 as his share of the cost of the materials and installation of the traffic signal in Franklin Road at the intersection of Franklin Road and the new street in the subdivision.

Neel-Shaffer completed a traffic signal study for the property in September 2018. Mr. Judy’s recommendation follows:

“If solely based on traffic volume demand or safety considerations, it would be difficult to conclude that the intersection of Franklin Rd and Fountainhead Dr. justifies implementation of traffic signal control. However, we find compelling evidence that the combination of the intersection’s marginal vehicle demand, satisfaction of requirements under the Four-Hour MUTCD warrant and the significant lack of acceptable gaps during the AM and PM peak periods fulfills the need for signalization. For these reasons, after considering all identified factors and based on our engineering judgment, we find that conversion to traffic signal control has merit and would be an acceptable action.”

The engineering report will be submitted to TDOT for their staff review with notice that the City plans to proceed with engineering design for the signal. The engineering design proposal will require City Commission approval before any design work can begin. Once design is complete, the construction will have to be competitively bid, it will take several months to order the mast arm poles based on prior project experience.
