-A-- • •I Element of the Land Use Plan so ordinances and transportation r, impact analyses could be based upon the characteristics of the road classifications. Best said that technically, the classification system done by Kimley -Horn was not a thoroughfare plan and asked the DOT representatives for their opinion. Danny Rogers stated that he had reviewed the map submitted by Kimley -Horn and compared it with the draft plan he prepared in 1988. Most differences involved parallel routes which in most cases boiled down to a matter of preference. He stated that since Kimleyo reflect done a more detailed map, he had amended his map Kimley- Horn's work. He further stated that the local streets would not be part of the thoroughfare plan. Best asked Rogers if the Orange County portion of the plan would have recommendations included as did the Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan, i.e., a recommended improvements and priorities list. Rogers drew a distinction between the plan and recommendations. He stated that the map was the plan and that text accompanying it was the thoroughfare plan report. He further stated that most recommendations in the report would involve widening existing paved roads and paving those that are currently unpaved. Rogers stated that these recommendations would be included in the "street appendix" of the report. He stated that recommendations were just that, that all the County would be adopting would be the map. Eidenier asked if DOT was still planning to pave all unpaved roads in the state. Rogers responded that all existing state roads with trips greater than 50 vehicles per day (VPD) were to be paved by the year 2003. This was a revised date from the original target date of 1999. Best then asked if DOT could supply the road index with widening priorities listed. He also asked about bridge recommendations. Norwood and Rogers stated that bridges were listed in the TIP. They said they could supply a copy if the County did not have one. Bell stated that he would check with Beverly Blythe, Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners and see if she had an up -to -date copy. Best emphasized that before anything went to public hearing, pertinent background data such as was being discussed needed to be on -hand and very visible to the commissioners. Rogers asked Best if he was referring to paving priorities. Best said he was not necessarily referring to paving priorities, but things such as the bridge on Guess Road in Little River Township which needs there to be repaired. Rogers stated that in their report was a list of bridges which were substandard or structurally deficient and in need of repair. Also in the report there is 'j a listing of bridges that l for repair and a priority listing for each. Norwood added 2
