The Values We Used To Craft A Successful Review Process
Process should be consistent
Need to involve a multi-disciplinary management level team in each district
Communication between all parties is critical throughout the process
Florida DOT staff will use creativity and flexibility to resolve issues
Some Closing Thoughts
Look for solutions within your organization
We found a model process in one of our districts.
Traffic Operational Analyses (TOA)
A TOA will be required for all development projects that are expected to generate 200 or more vehicle trips per day and for which a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was not completed.
A TOA will be required for any development project for which changes in land use are intended after the completion of a TIS or TOA, if enough additional vehicle trips are being generated beyond those accounted for in the TIS or TOA, as determined by the County Coordinator.
Proposed Changes & Improvements
Use the county assessed value as the baseline value for calculating the difference vs. going through a costly and time consuming appraisal process.
Charge only a percentage of the determined value for changes to residential (less than 10 dwellings) and farm access.
Charge full amount of determined value for commercial, retail, etc
Charge an administrative fee for processing requests.

Guides and manuals are not enforceable – its actually the agencies engineering authority, usually through the chief engineer. It’s the opinion of the chief engineer, using guides and manuals as references, as compared to the wishes of the property owner.
