Primary Access Requirements. Primary access to lots and developments shall be provided as follows.

No building permit for a substantial improvement or for the establishment of a new single-family or multi-family use shall be issued by the Building Official unless the lot has adequate access to one of the following:

A street which has been constructed in conformance with the Manatee County Public Works Standards or is listed in the official and approved inventory of County-maintained streets, and which:

Has been dedicated or conveyed by plat, deed, or other legal process and accepted as a public street by the State of Florida or Manatee County; or

ii.

Has become a public street by act of Florida law.

A street not constructed to Manatee County Public Works Standards nor listed in the official and approved inventory of County-maintained streets, may be allowed as long as the following conditions are met:

The applicant shall submit verifiable proof of ownership of the lot or property to the Department Director; and

ii.

The applicant shall submit an executed maintenance responsibility affidavit and agreement between the lot owner and the County for approval by the Department Director as provided in the Manatee County Public Works Standards. The affidavit and agreement shall be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. A copy of the recorded affidavit and agreement shall be on file with the Department Director.

A private street which has been approved and constructed in compliance with the Manatee County Public Works Standards and recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.

Private Commercial Access. A private internal roadway utilizing cross-access easements with an adjacent parcel or parcels, which meets the commercial node frontage requirements stipulated in the Manatee County Comprehensive Plan. The private internal roadway shall be specifically identified and designated on a plan as an easement for vehicular travel of the public and the easement(s) shall be duly recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.

The joint use of the private internal roadway(s) shall be strictly limited to small and medium commercial subdivisions or individual commercial or industrial lots of record that can utilize the private internal roadway provision.

Approved access shall be restricted to a site where the proposed use, though located on a parcel that is within the distance criteria of a small or medium commercial node, as defined in the Manatee County Comprehensive Plan, does not have frontage on a roadway classified as a collector or arterial shown on Map 5B of the Manatee County Comprehensive Plan. Each private internal roadway shall be specifically identified and designated on a plan as an easement for vehicular travel of the public, and the easement(s) shall be duly recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.

An ingress and egress easement, subject to the following:

A recorded, non-exclusive ingress/egress, utility and drainage easement may provide the required access to a single-family semi-detached lot which has been created by the split of an existing duplex, where only one (1) unit of the duplex faces the street, and therefore the rear unit did not have frontage on the street.

Ingress/egress easement with a minimum width of twenty (20) feet may be used for access in the A, A-1, RSF, RDD, RMF and VIL zoning districts for access to one single family dwelling unit, or one existing, permitted, mobile home unit in the A District, in lieu of public or approved private streets, see the Manatee County Public Works Standards Manual for additional requirements.

Unmanned utility facilities shall be allowed access by easement in all zoning districts for occasional maintenance. The easement shall cross only one (1) lot, and shall be recorded in conjunction with any required administrative permit approval for the utility use. This shall not include communications towers covered in Section 531.36.

Second Means of Access Required. All residential developments or parts of phases thereof, containing more than one hundred (100) residential dwelling units; and all professional, commercial, and manufacturing development, or parts of phases thereof, containing more than fifty (50) lots shall have a second separate means of access (street). Secondary access roads must meet the following standards:

The second means of access (street) shall have access to a through street, either public or private, constructed to County standards, and other than that street on which the primary access is located.

If a second means of access is not available to another street, another direct access street to the same primary access street is acceptable if the primary access street is a public bi-directional thoroughfare, and separated from the other access by a minimum of three hundred (300) feet. The three hundred (300) foot separation may be reduced subject to other design considerations addressing fire protection, public safety, traffic, storm water management and other Manatee County Public Works Standards.

Where a specific design incorporates site security elements for a residential planned development; the Board and the Department Director may consider an alternative design for the construction of the secondary means of access, subject to the following:

The alternative design shall incorporate specific security provisions to allow satisfactory ingress by emergency vehicles.

The right-of-way design standards for width and radii shall be adhered to.

The design shall retain the construction of appropriate utilities and drainage requirements.

The security components shall include the construction of and maintenance criteria for security gates and signage, in addition to the road base and surface stability for emergency vehicles.

The area above the ground surface shall remain free and unobstructed to allow ready access by emergency vehicles to the planned development.

Cross Access Exception.

Purpose. Required by the Comprehensive Plan for greater transportation mobility between adjacent properties impacting thoroughfares.

Standard for Exception. Findings must be made addressing the following:

No logical connection(s) can be established which would improve system mobility; or

Compatibility concerns are created due to creation of undesirable travel routes.

Assigning Street Numbers and Names.

Numbers. Streets shall be assigned numbers in accordance with the approved County Grid System.

Names. Streets may be assigned names where the street is designated in such a curvilinear fashion that it would be difficult to number due to its various directional changes or within subdivisions or planned developments upon the recommendation of the local Fire District, Public Safety, Environmental Management, and Building and Development Services Departments and approval by the Board of County Commissioners. No names shall be assigned or approved which duplicate existing street names either actually or phonetically.

Dual Designations. Dual designations (e.g. Cortez Rd/44 ^th Ave E) shall be prohibited.

Street Markers. Street markers shall be required for all private and public streets.

Commemorative Naming of Street. Streets under the jurisdiction and control of the Board of County Commissioners of Manatee County may be named in honor of distinguished individuals or organizations in accordance with the following procedures:

The naming of public streets in honor of individuals or organizations shall be by resolution adopted at a public hearing after publication of notice in the manner required by law for the adoption of county ordinances under F.S. § 125.66(2)(a).

North County (North of the Manatee River):

Even Numbers: North and East sides

ii.

Odd Numbers: South and West sides

South County (South of the Manatee River):

Even Numbers: South and West sides

ii.

Odd Numbers: North and East sides

General Assignments.

Where multiple separate principal structures exist on a single frontage, they shall have the same number, with the rear structures designated in letter form beginning with "A."

Where land is not subdivided, the numbers shall be assigned from 1 to 99 (6919, 6950, 6990), depending where the structure is approximately located within the grid.

Structures shall be assigned a number based on the grid on which the predominant portion of its street frontage is located.

Structures located on a corner lot shall be assigned a number based on the frontage orientation of the structures, as determined by the Planning Director.

Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Completion, the structure for the principal use shall have its assigned structure address number clearly posted on the structure or in the case of a structure which is not visible from the road or is set back from the road more than 100 feet, the numbers shall be placed on a sign or mailbox near the driveway entrance and shall be clearly visible from the road.
