DRAFT <br />i0~ <br />Ronald Stevenson: The issue of the short leg was addressed with NCDOT and they replied that <br />as it is a full access now, by moving the intersection you would have competing turn lanes. <br />Theresa Nicole Graysmith: When the road expands, will there be a side walks there? <br />Ronald Stevenson: Yes, there will still be sidewalk. <br />Sam Lasris (to the staff): This is an economic development area, is there anything other than <br />Waterstone project coming in the future? <br />Craig Benedict: Besides the Waterstone project, 200-300 acres of non-residential areas and the <br />remaining houses that are on the Old 86 frontage strip have been designated economic <br />development district. This 100-foot right of way on 86 is an unfunded NCDOT project, which <br />means that it is 10+ years away. <br />Hunter Schofield: Why wasn't this traffic problem considered before? <br />Craig Benedict: When Chuck Edwards evaluates each situation, technical considerations he <br />makes deals with traffic at that time. That may be a consideration in the motion that might add a <br />traffic volume that might click on in 4-5 years. <br />Hunter Schofield: There is a concern about traffic volume increasing making the exchange more <br />dangerous than it is now. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: How can you continue track the volume when you don't what the traffic <br />volume is. <br />Craig Benedict: Traffic volume is registered for Old 86 now and the estimation is 8,000 or <br />9,000. <br />Barry Katz: What is the trigger if you do not enforce a right in/right out? What traffic volume <br />should it be triggered at? <br />Hunter Schofield: 25% more traffic than there is now. <br />Renee Price: You can determine volume but what if the design is not effective. <br />Hunter Schofield (to Renee Price): Are you concerned about the stacking on Oakdale? <br />Renee Price: Even getting in and out of the credit union onto 86. It may not be only the volume <br />that should be the criteria because I'm not sure it is as much volume as design. <br />Ronald Stevenson: Maybe instead of tying it into a daily traffic volume on 86, the trigger will be <br />the level of service from intersection to intersection, which is based on traffic volume. It <br />operates fine but in the future, with increased traffic volume on Old 86, the delay for the left turn <br />
