12 Staff Report Lake Hogan Farm Rezoning Request of Transportation for possible inclusion in the State Transportation Improvement Plan. A feasibility study is very preliminary and is used mainly for cost estimating purposes. it represents the first of several detailed studies which must be completed in order for a road improvement project to move forward towards funding and construction. The time between feasibility study and actual construction is generally measured in years rather than months. In addition, detailed transportation impact studies would be required as part of Carrboro's permit process for development of these properties. Nonetheless, the following information is offered as a first take on the transportation impacts of full development of these parcels on Homestead Rd. Under Carrboro R-R zoning, single family development of these parcels would allow a maximum of 264 units producing an estimated 2 , 640 vehicle trips per day. Single family development of these parcels under Carrboro R- 20 zoning would allow a maximum of 574 units producing an estimated 5, 740 vehicle trips per day. The 1992 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on Homestead Rd. is estimated to be approximately 3000 vehicles per day (vpd) . Homestead Road is designed to handle an ADT of 12 , 000 vehicles per day at capacity. It is apparent that full development of these parcels at either zoning density will, at completion, significantly increase the number of vehicles per day on Homestead Road; however, full development of these parcels alone would not push the ADT beyond the current design capacity of this road. These properties could be served by public water and sewer. As a part of its application for rezoning, Orange County requires that applicants obtain letters from agencies stating that the property can be served by public utilities and services. Those letters are attached for your reference. 6
