Sec. 3863.154. ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. (a) Before development begins, the district must obtain a traffic impact analysis performed by a qualified independent traffic consultant for the purpose of determining the impact of increased traffic caused by the development of property in the district on Paleface Ranch Road or other major roads connecting the district to State Highway 71. The traffic impact analysis must identify the district's proportionate impact on the roads, based on the daily average number of trips to be generated from the district compared to the total daily average number of trips estimated to be generated from the total service area for the roads at full development.
(b) The district or a developer of land in the district shall pay the district's proportionate share of the costs or design and construct the district's proportionate share necessary to improve roads as needed to maintain the normal level of service on Paleface Ranch Road or any other connector roads. The payments or improvements shall be phased to meet the increased traffic.
(c) This section does not obligate the district to participate in the construction or financing of State Highway 71 or any other state highway.
