1 E341 4-r- AAK Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. Memorandum . To: Slade McCalip From: Larry Meisner Date: June 23, 1998 Response Date: n/a READ Subject: Lawrence Road Subdivision Addendum to Traffic Impact Study Based on discussions between the developer and county staff, we have made the following revisions and additions to the traffic impact study. Because of the minor nature of the changes, we are including the changes in this memorandum rather than revising the previous document. 1. Additional connection to Lori Drive. As recommended by staff, an additional access point at Lori Drive has been added to the site plan. The connection would use existing minor roads that would provide a desirable path for only a few of the trips generated by the subdivision. This access point is anticipated to serve five percent of development traffic, all of which would tuin left onto Lawrence Road from Lannie Drive. The total traffic served by the new access point is estimated to be 120 trips per day, including nine trips during the AM peak hour (two in, seven out), and 12 trips during the PM peak hour (eight in, four out). All of these trips would be subtracted from the right turns into the subdivision on Lawrence Road, and the corresponding left turn out. There would be no change is the projected level of service (A) of that intersection, which would operate with minimal delays. Because of the low volumes at the new access point, no road improvements are recommended beyond the connection. 2. Left -turn lane on Lawrence Road. Based on discussion at the Planning Board meeting and with staff, the developer has agreed to install a left -turn lane into the site on Lawrence Road. The turn lane will be under contract at the time grading begins on -site, and completed prior to issuance of ten percent of the building permits for the subdivision. ■ TEL 919 '677 2000 CAV —A n.-, .— 173 ■ P.O.
