The County specified what those acceptable minimum actions involve via roadway improvements consistent with the county's code and other mitigation efforts. In order to provide certainty, these items are measured proportionally and required concurrently with the application (typically upon approval and prior to commencement of use; however in this case based on a phased implementation plan/accepted agreement). An instrument used to accomplish this is the Road Improvement Agreement (RIA) mentioned earlier. LPLUC Compatibility Standards LPLUC Sec. 82-193(c) (2) requires six standards be evaluated as they relate to project compatibility. Identification of the areas of compatibility impact has been informed by the public meetings outlined above and public comment received throughout the planning process. A summary of the issues discussed at the three county -facilitated Neighborhood Compatibility Meetings are included in Attachment 20 and public comments are included as Attachments 24 to39. Table 4 below summarizes these standards and the primary issues relevant to the proposed project that have been identified from the aforementioned sources and staff analysis. Each of these issues relevant to the proposed project is discussed in detail following Table 6 and within the applicable compatibility section. Table 4. LPLUC and Proposed Project Compatibility Overview Item LPLUC Compatibility Standard Relevant Project Issues A Traffic Safety of CR 120 for the traveling public Noise/vibration, late hours of operation, and dust from truck traffic for the traveling public in general Noise, odor, smoke, dust, vibration, radiation, or late and in particular to the residents who regularly B hours of operation. share the 6.4 -mile segment of north CR 120 with proposed haul trucks Vibration from the mine operation C Adverse views for neighbors or traveling public D Pollution of ground or surface waters Groundwater quality E Change in character of the neighborhood Harmony of rural residential landscape along roadway F Privacy of the neighbors Privacy for residents with homes immediately adjacent to the haul route A. Traffic generated by the development will not create safety hazards, create traffic which is beyond the capacity of affected roads, or result in substantial increases over existing traffic volumes, or which results in the reduction of existing service levels. Overview The project produces a large volume/load of traffic that is beyond the capacity of the affected road. The existing road has been used primarily by rural residential traffic, and in 2014 GCC traffic had come to account for approximately 67% of the volume on the road and 99% of the loading by weight on the affected portion of CR 120 (Traffic Impact Analysis, November 19, 2015).
