000032 <br /> IMPACT STATEMENT FOR SCOTSW000 PAGE 5 <br /> B. Traffic° Impact:, <br /> Scotswood will have access <br /> points from US 70, St. Mary's Road <br /> (SR 1002) , Willer Road (SR 1555) and Baldwin Road (SR 1554) . <br /> The major traffic increases and points of congestion will <br /> come from the entrances onto US 70 and St . Mary's Road (SR <br /> 1002) . Another major point of congestion will be the <br /> intersection of US 70 and St. Mary's Road. <br /> A 1981 traffic count on St . Mary's Road indicated 2000 trips <br /> per day. ON US Bypass 70 a 1984 traffic count indicated 7900 <br /> t.; trips per d y just east of NC 86 and 6600 trips per day just <br /> west of Lawrence Road (SR 1561 ) . <br /> According to the traffic impact analysis prepared by Kimley- <br /> =' Horn, Scotswood would generate 5,700 trips to the site and <br /> j 5,700 tripe) away from the site on an average day. It would <br /> add 1 .725 daily trips east of the project on St . Mary 's Road <br /> and 3,450 trips west of the project on St. Mary's Road. An <br /> additional 4,025 would be added to US 70 east and 2,300 trips <br /> to US 70 west of the project . These estimates were prepared <br /> under the assumption that the traffic would use the US 70 and <br /> St. Mary's) Road intersection instead of possibly using <br /> Lawrence Ro d, and are conservative according to the study. <br /> C. Recreation Facilities: <br /> Proposed recreation facilities for the multi—family area <br /> include a clubhouse and changing room, 2 regulation sized <br /> tennis courts and a swimming pool. The recreation area for <br /> the single family development includes an open space area of <br /> 16.2 acres which includes an open space area along the <br /> ? stream. This 16 .2 acres meta the minimum area requirement <br /> for recreation space in the Zoning Ordinance, however, no <br /> improvements are proposed for this area by the developer (See <br /> Planning Stsff recommendations) . <br /> 0.

K-51 Grades 6 and 7 would attend Standback Middle <br /> School and grades 8 and 9 would attend Stanford Jr. High <br /> School . ALL children in grades 10 through 12 would attend <br /> Orange High School. ALL of the schools are operating at <br /> F!' capacity except Orange High School which is presently <br /> building en addition . <br /> Looking at the single family development with a proposed 410 <br /> units and using a figure of .718 as a multiplier for 3 <br /> bedroom single family units, there will be 294 school—age <br /> children produced by the development . The multi—family <br /> development with a proposed 216 units and using a figure of <br />
