Subject
Resolution 2020-24 - Approval to Install a Speed Hump on Ansley Lane in the Somerset Subdivision Near the Neighborhood Pool
Background
In late 2019, members of the Somerset Homeowners Association contacted the City about the potential for an additional speed hump on Ansley Lane near the neighborhood pool.   Somerset is located such that it serves as a convenient cut through from adjacent neighborhoods and Raintree Parkway to Crockett Park and the adjacent elementary and middle schools.  The neighborhood currently has a network of speed humps along both Aberdeen Drive and Demery Court.

The Public Works Department collected traffic counts and vehicle speeds between 6:00 AM on November 19, 2019 and 7:00 AM on November 21, 2019.  After a cursory review of the gathered data, the counts were then forwarded to our consulting engineer, Rich Phillips with RG Phillips Consulting, LLC.  Mr. Phillips subsequently submitted a report that supports the overall concept and confirms that this installation follows the City's policy for the installation of speed humps on public streets. A copy of the report is attached, and it includes a map showing the proposed location. 

After receiving Mr. Phillips' report, members for the Somerset Homeowners Association gathered the necessary signatures from two thirds of the property owners living within 1000 feet of the recommended installation location.  

City staff supports this installation as an acceptable traffic calming measure for this location.  With City Commission approval, Public Works can begin the process of having this speed hump installed.  As per the policy, the City's portion of the installation is 40% plus the costs associated with traffic counts and engineering.  Our current contractual costs are $4,000 for construction and $500 for signage and pavement markings.  Therefore the Somerset Homeowners Association will be responsible for $2,700.00 of the cost.

Please direct any questions to the Public Works Director.
Staff Recommendation
City Staff further supports this installation as an acceptable traffic calming measure for this location.
