The ITE Trip Generation Manual does not provide trip generation rates for <br /> solar farms. Therefore, the trip generation was estimated based on the anticipated number of <br /> employees both during construction and a full build-out. <br /> During construction it is estimated that a maximum of 40 workers will be on site each day. Though <br /> some workers will carpool, as a worst case it is assumed that all workers arrive individually in the AM <br /> peak hour and depart individually in the PM peak hour. There are also anticipated to be <br /> approximately 8 truck deliveries per day during construction with only 1 vehicle on-site at any given <br /> time. As a worst case, it is assumed that 2 trucks enter and exit during each peak hour. Therefore, it <br /> is anticipated that in a worst case condition, there will be approximately 42 entering trips and 2 exiting <br /> trips in the AM peak hour and 2 entering trips and 42 exiting trips in the PM peak hour. <br /> Upon completion the site will have no full-time staff. There will be 1-2 employees that will service this <br /> site once every several months. The result is that this site is expected to generate less than 1 trip per <br /> day on average. Table 1 below summarizes the anticipated trip generation of the site. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Solar Farm Traffic Generation (Vehicles) <br /> Daily AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour <br /> Scenario <br /> In Out In Out In Out <br /> Construction <100 <100 42 2 2 42 <br /> Build-out <1 <1 <1 <1 <1 <1 <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 919-653-2948 or travis.fluitt @kimley-horn.com with any question or <br /> comments. <br /> orve 'lr 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 600 Raleigh, NC 27601 919-677-2000 <br /> ills oic 0 <br />
