3'7 <br />Location: The initial planning for one of the above facilities would be to physically <br />bisect a superblock in order to derive the greatest benefit. However, there are <br />geographical considerations that may alter such placement. Major creek crossings and <br />severely steep topography should be avoided. Generally the maximum grade for such a <br />facility would be approximately 7 -9%. <br />Need: Because different levels and types of development intensity will generate <br />varying amounts of traffic, the need for additional facilities should be determined based <br />on the County Land Use Plan and on specific development plans. The Planning Staff <br />should review transportation needs as development occurs, as provided for in Article 13 <br />of the county code. Any needed additional collector or major local road facilities <br />should be provided as public roads in order to ensure maintenance and access by the <br />general public. <br />19 <br />
