Agenda Date: 11/29/2012
Z File Number MSP12-06
MSP Rev.- Wellington Plantation Drive/Rahling
Planning
Wellington Plantation Drive/Rahling Rd
1 Per City Ordinance #17,183 states Rahling Road is to be widening to the Master Street Plan standard
at the time traffic counts reach 12,000 vehicles per day. Current traffic counts show 12,000 or more
vehicles per day travel on Rahling Road. Therefore, the construction of Rahling Road to meet Master
Street Plan standard is required.
2 Provide a traffic study showing the impacts of the zoning change and MSP change on existing and
future streets in the area.
3 Per the International Building Code, two (2) vehicle accesses are required to be provided for
subdivisions in exceedance of 30 residential structures for emergency vehicle response. The 2nd
access can be an emergency access only. The proposed Master Street Plan change will result in 85
existing residential structures and possibly many additional future structures with only one (1) vehicle
access.
4 The area affected by the Master Street Plan has adequate east -west connectivity but very inadequate
north -south connectivity. The removal of Wellington Plantation Drive from the Master Street Plan
will further reduce the inadequancy of the north -south connectivity in the affected area. No north -
south connectivity exists between Bowman Rd and Kirk Rd.
