The following standards shall apply:
A. Applicability. The following standard applies to all development, except developments located on or within 2,640 feet of a highway or arterial street.
B. Adequate Public Facilities. Developments are permitted only if the public streets are adequate to serve the proposed development.
1. Public Streets.
a. Developments that generate more than 400 passenger vehicle and small truck trips, or 100 large trucks (e.g., box trucks) or farm equipment trips, or thirty (30) semi tractor trailer trips; to and/or from the site per day shall be required to finance a traffic and street impact study commissioned by Jasper County to determine the proposed development’s impact to the public streets. The Plan Commission shall make a determination based on that study as to whether the public street(s) are designed to effectively and safely convey the existing and added traffic generated by the development, or whether the street will be prematurely degraded by the added traffic generated by the development.
b. If the public street(s) is (are) determined to not be able to handle the added traffic, the Plan Commission may deny the development or allow it with mitigating conditions. Mitigating conditions, if necessary, shall be determined by the Plan Commission and Technical Advisory Committee based on engineering practices.
C. Guarantees. When mitigating conditions are required, the developer or authorized representative may be required to provide a surety that guarantees such improvements will be completed. [Ord. 12-27-11 § 5.68.]
