Vehicular access must consist of.direct access'to a road <br /> certified as either an arterial or-collector as designated by <br /> the adopted Land Use Plan. <br /> ; <br /> Staff Comment: N.C. Highway 86 has been classified as an <br /> arterial in the Grande County band Use Plan. Direct access <br /> to this facility is available from the property in question. <br /> i <br /> Arterials are thoroughfares that provide the best service <br /> (shortest travel times) to and from important employment, <br /> shopping, edtacational and population centers. They are <br /> j characterized by relatively high travel speeds with mint= . <br /> interference to througA traffic. <br /> Because of the trportance of N.C. 86 an arterial or "traffic <br /> mover", care -irast be taken to protect this unction. In 1981, <br /> traffic volumes along this route had reached 4,500 vehicles <br /> per day. Given the capacity of the route (9,500 vehicles per <br /> day) this means that an excess capacity of approximately.5,000 <br /> vehicles per day remains. <br /> If this project is developed at an R-4 density, an additional <br /> 98 trips per day would be added to N.C. 86 based on an average <br /> trip generation rate of 9.72 trips per day for medium density <br /> single family dwellings. <br /> Completion of Wildwood Phases I and II will add an additional <br /> 1,789 trips per day to N.C. 86. The total additional, trips <br /> Per day generated by Wildwood Phases I and 11 and the proposal . <br /> rezoning would be 1,887 trips. - <br /> i <br /> I <br />
