Attachment 1A <br />f <br />5. TRUCKAND TRAFFIC COMPATIBILITY <br />Consideration. Transfer stations often receive urges of traffic when collection vehicles have. finished theicroutes. <br />Transfer stators traffic varies locally but tends to peak twice a day. The first peak is often near the <br />middle of the day or shift, end the second at the end of the day or shift,.. Therefore, the best sites <br />for transfer stations are located away from areas hat have midday. traffic peaks antlfor school bus <br />and pedestrian traffic, <br />Definition: Cornpafibility of projected transferstation traffic volume and'vehicle types with existing traffic mix <br />and flow patterns in the immediate area of the site, <br />R ARII ITV Cf1D CYDAhIQIf1Al <br />6. ABILITY FOR EXPANSION <br />Consideration, When selecting a site, consider the potential for subsequent increase, in the daily tonnage of waste <br />that the facility will be required to manage, or added processing capabilities for recycling and <br />diversion. It is often less expensive to expand an existing transfer station than to develop a new <br />site due to the:ability to use existing operations staff, ublity connection, traffic control systems, <br />office space; aril tiuiltlings, <br />Def nifion: Adaptability of proposed transfer station site layout (transfer building and on-site roadways) to <br />accommodate future expansion or changes in waste transfer and processing. <br />Sites with street or roadway,connector <br />access that do riot currently,or are not <br />projected in the future to eztiibit significant <br />midday traffic peaks and school bus or <br />pedestrian traffic shall be ranked highest. <br />land use and development within one half <br />mile radius of proposed site will be used to <br />assess potential compatibility issues related <br />to connector streets and roads. <br />A site that is the most adaptable with <br />respect to expansion of the transfer building <br />with concurrent use of buffers, roadways, <br />parking areas, scale facilities, and other <br />required site improvements will be ranked <br />the highesk <br />Page 3 <br />Fn .4 <br />} ~ a~~ <br />Very Important <br />Important <br />10 <br />5 <br />Attachment 1A <br />BOCC Work Session - 06!16!08 <br />
