Determination of Right-of-Way Alignment. 1. The Thoroughfare Network Right-of-Way Protection Plan is intended to indicate transportation corridors, not precise alignments, and is to be based upon the Right-of-Way Protection Map of the Transportation Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Precise alignments will be determined at the time of development review and/or as a result of detailed alignment studies and surveys. 2. The County Engineer shall conduct, on a continuing basis, alignment studies and surveys required to establish the precise alignment of rights-of-way shown on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of-Way Protection Plan that are not previously established. The centerline of the precise alignment shall be within one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320)feet of the approximate location shown on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of-Way Protection Plan, except where it can be demonstrated that an alternative centerline alignment is less potentially harmful to the environment, or displaces fewer residences, business or other development, or is more feasible technically or financially.

Project with de minimis impact: In order for a project to be classified as de minimis, the Planning and Development Services Director must determine whether the trips generated would not affect more than one percent (1%) of the adopted level of service capacity. No impact will be de minimis if the sum of existing roadway volumes and the trips generated from the project would exceed 110 percent(110%) of the adopted level of service capacity of the affected road facility. A Traffic Statement, prepared with published and acceptable transportation impact data shall be provided, with appropriate distribution assumptions to provide for a de minimis impact determination. For-any-use not specifically mentioned above, the threshold shall be the same as that for the use that is most similar to the unmentioned use. Such determination shall be made by the requirement of a transportation impact study if it finds, after receiving the recommendation of the Development Review Committee and based on conditions not needed to determine the roadway, traffic control, and acce:s improvements that development. Page 4 of 10 b. Study Area. The base transportation impact study ar a shall include all major roadways (collectors, minor arterials, and major arterials)within two(2)miles of the site. The study affect levels of service at the intersection. On North and South Hutchinson Island, the study area shall be expanded to include island to mainland bridges in each travel direction from the development. The study area shall be verified with the Development Review Committee before the preparation of the transportation impact report. The Development Review Committee shall require extension of the study area to base area if traffic generated by the proposed development potentially would affect levels of service of such roadways and intersections and existing or projected levels of service if such roadways are Level of Service C or below. e-b.Contents.
