increase thaftraffic, and they're already given less:green ime there, it's going to increase that delay. And sort ofthe same is true for the vehicles coming from the south on Old 86 wanting to turn left into the Credit Union. You're going to farce them to go up to the signal, make a left. there, where they're currently not provided a protected movement, according to what I ee on the signal plans. They don't have a green arrow, so they're not going solely as an exclusive movement. They`re having to wait for gaps in the southbound traffic to try to make that left turn movement:. And that's not ideal for the left:'turns to do. 50 it's pretty much the same situation you have down at the southern driveway. But there is storage available in the turn lane, in the middle turn lane there, for those cars to get out of through traffic, which is a plus. So, you wouldn't be forcing those :cars to go up to the signal, make a left and.. then come in off of Oakdale if we allowed the intersection to remain full access.... I' also should -point out, that when these improvements come in by DOT or the TIP Project is built in the future, you're going o have an improved cross section there that is able to carry the traffic: more efficiently. So, it won't be as big a deal for those cars to go-out to Oakdale atthe intersection... You're going to have more through. lanes there for the traffic on Old 86 o clear that intersection quicker:. So; it wouldn't be as bad to send those cars out the Oakdale driveway. Hunter Schofield; We've gat one more member representing the applicant, Jay W. Smith.. Jay S"mith: I have nothing to add. Hunter Schofield: Nothing: to add. Thank you. We wantto go ahead and direct any questions to the applicants at this point before we turn to anyone who might wish to speak in apposition to this :application... Jonathan Parsons:: Right now-it's, on;peak days, two to three,. and that's what we :anticipate for the remote office.. Sam Lasrs: How many-employees work inside the bank? Jonathan Parsons:;: At the islands inside? That's about seven, sa full'-time. Hunter Schofield:. Otherquestions from the Planning Board? Barry Katz: When we talking about traffic moving in and out of the CreditUnion but Old 86 is becoming a more heavily trafficked road and (suppose-everybody expects and hopes that there. will be more commercial development in the area that has been zoned for commercial development there: And the number of cars on that road, one would expect to increase. I know through Hillsborough there is a possibility of something like 96,000 trips a day or something. My point is that if you have cars that are not trying to get into the credit union, you: have a higher burden of traffic going past the credit union; then people trying to make left-turns. are going.. to find more and more difficulty to make a left turn safely at the entrance that you :currently have. And i know you're: looking to the traffic improvements that will happen in 201.0 or thereabouts to sort of dissolve the flow of traffic past there, but the recommendation. was o actually make right turns only on Old 8~ in order to-avoid the left turn problem. I hink that the'left turn problem will quickly become-a problem:. before 2010 .because of the volume increase in traffic. 1 would strongly support the idea of the recommendation that the Planning Department has made.: Rynal Stephenson: One thing 1' would like tp Sayabout that is that when you have cars turning'lefk in or left out of the southern, existing;driveway, the traffic signatup at Oakdale will stop traffic in the sou#hbound direction and northbound direction. And, when that outhbound traffic is sto-peed, that
