The developer shall provide a revised Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) report that <br />identifies anticipated impacts of this development at the intersection of US 70 & <br />Buckhorn Rd, West 10 and Buckhorn Rd. and the intersection of Mt. Willing and <br />Buclchorn Rd. The developer shall be responsible for constructing any and all <br />improvements at those intersections that are recommended to mitigate direct. impacts <br />resulting from this development. <br />2. The revised TIA shall also include WEEKEND traffic counts at similar <br />developments, such as Alamance Crossing, Heritage Square, and Patterson Place. The <br />developer shall provide any additional facilities to accommodate traffic flow on <br />weekends as required by NC DOT from review of the revised TIA.. <br />3. The revised TIA should be submitted prior to the submission of any site plan <br />proposing development within any of the approved districts. <br />4. The expansion of the bridge over I 85 to accommodate four lanes of traffic as detailed <br />within the TIA. to accommodate two northbound lanes, two southbound lanes as well <br />as bicycle lanes and sidewalks running both north and south. <br />5. The widening of Buckhorn road to accommodate anticipated traffic demands. <br />6. Provide a bicycle lane on westbound West Ten Road along the property line of the <br />development. <br />7. Install street signals on metal poles (instead of wires) at the main entrance on <br />Buckhorn Rd and at both exit ramps. <br />8. Align the main entrance into Buckhorn Village with the main entrance into the Petro <br />station located on the west side of Buckhorn Rd. <br />9. Provide 3% of parking spaces as Park and Ride areas. Site these designated <br />spaces close to bus stops. <br />10. Provide bicycle lanes on both the east and west sides of Buckhorn Rd between I- <br />SS/I-40 and West 10. (I don't think we can require this development to construct this <br />off-sight improvement along a stretch of roadway that is not adjacent to the <br />development and is adjacent to property that is expected to be developed in the future. <br />If the County does not acquire funding to continue the bicycle lanes, the County can <br />require future developers of those parcels to provide multimodal facilities.) <br />11. (There are existing turn lanes on US 70 onto Buckhorn Road.) "Provide a left turn <br />lane on westbound West Ten Road at the intersection of West Ten Road and <br />Buckhorn Road." <br />12. Widen westbound and eastbound I-85/I-40 on ramps and exit ramps to <br />accommodate additional turn lanes <br />13. Construct an auxiliary lane from the weigh station on-ramp to the westbound <br />Buckhorn Rd off-ramp. <br />14. Provide driveway access for the 5 lots along Buckhorn Rd; south of the main <br />entrance, to assist access to the properties plus local roadways. <br />15. Provide an access road for ingress and egress from the development project to the <br />existing gas station on the northwest corner of the site. <br />16. More right-of-way maybe needed for the requested/required improvements. If <br />so, the developer shall dedicate any .needed right-of--way for required <br />improvements. <br /> <br />
