Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Subject: Plan Review for Proposed Addition to the State Employees <br />Credit Union Located on SR 1009 (S. Churton St.) in Hillsborough <br />Per you request this office has reviewed the site plan submitted by O'Brien Atkins and <br />has conducted a site visit during the PM peak hour. The proposed addition does not <br />appear to significantly increase the trips generated by this site. The proposed new full <br />access driveway located near the southern. property corner on Old NC 86 is too close to <br />the existing Millstone Drive. This location would potentially result in,conflicts with <br />• southbound left twin movements onto Millstone Drive. This office does not recommend a <br />-`~ ~ ~~ =- ~ - -full~acc~ss-driveway-at-this-location:-~The-conversiv~.-ofthe-existing-drivewvay-on-01d-NC- ~ -- ~-~- - <br />- - 86 to a right in right out would eliminate potential left turr~._conflicts, It should benoted, - - <br />however, that during the peak hour field eisit, no functional problems were noted with <br />this existing full access driveway and the nearby intersection of Oakdale Drive and Old <br />NC 86. The proximity of existing neighboring driveways and intersections provide little <br />opportunity for appreciable traffic flaw improvement~at this time. TIl' project R 2825 <br />has been included in the 2004-2010 Transportation Improvement Program. This project <br />will include the widening of Old NC 86 from I-40 to U.S. 70 Business to a multilane <br />facility. The current design is a divided facility with limited median cross over. It is <br />anticipated that once this project is constructed that X11 access to this site on Old NC 86 <br />would be limited to right in right out only. With this information in mind this office <br />.makes the following recommendations: . <br />P.O. Box 766 Graham, N.C. 27253 Telephone (336)-570-6833 <br />
