#88601 Transportation Impact Report April 11, 1986 064 Page Two 5. Analyze data 6. Conclusion and recommendation Dam The existing road is an NCDOT gravel road with approximately 18 feet of gravel pavement and variable shoulder and ditch dimensions.. The road is two lane but is not striped for lanes. The site distances for the most part are good end fall below critical _vertical alignment factors specified by NCDOT. The alignment and grades do not affect the current flow of traffic. There are two on-grade crossings of the very lightly used (once per week) Southern Railroad tracks. The crossings are not automatically controlled, but do provide good sight distances and proper crossing alignments. Traffic projections indicate that the proposed lane distribution is not constant. The inbound lanes carry the majority of traffic in the morning and the outbound lanes carry the traffic in the afternoon. There are no traffic interruptions due to the volume of traffic. The number of trucks is approximately 2% of the total traffic, and is not a factor during the peak periods of the day. Actual traffic counts are broken down on an hourly basis in Appendix A. The counts were made at the entrance of the development. Proposed Development: The proposed development contains 78 acres of undeveloped woodlands and is proposed to be developed into approximately 40 single family lots, 12 townhouse rental apartment units, and 26, senior citizen townhouse cluster homes, for a total of 78 residential units on 78 acres or one unit per acre density. Site amenity features will include horse and farming facilities to remain, a 2.5 acre lake, picnic area, riding trails, garden plots and playground. The development will be nearly self-sufficient from the standpoint of active and passive recreation uses.
