signal and synchronization of all traffic signals.
2. The Agency of Transportation (AOT) approved the proposed im-
provements with the exception of installing the signal. Signal.
warrants are not met at this time.
3. A special conditioned attached to the AOT permit includes the
following: "In the event -that traffic from this access increases
to the point where additional lanes for turning or any other
modifications are necessary, the expense of such improvements or
facilities shall be borne by the Permit Holder, his/her succes-
sors, and assigns. The determination of need for such measures
is the responsibility of the Agency of Transportation and will be
based upon and justified by standard Agency procedures. The
Permit Holder will provide the agency with traffic estimates and
actual counts for each significant increase in the size of the
development. Signals will not be permitted to operate until
sufficient warrants, as determined by the Agency are met."

Route 7. When the warrants are met, the applicant will be re-
quired to synchronize all lights.
