Vehicular access must consist of direct access to a road <br /> certified as either an arterial or collector as designated by <br /> the adopted Land Use Plan. <br /> -rr Staff Couuent: N.C. Highway 86 has been classified as an <br /> arterial in the Orange County Land Use Plan. Direct access <br /> . _ <br /> to this facility is available from the property in question. <br /> Arterials are thoroughfares that provide the best service <br /> (shortest travel tiues) to and from important employment, <br /> shopping, edlacational and population centers. They are <br /> characterized by relatively high travel speeds with minimum <br /> interference to through traffic. <br /> Because of the -.Importance of N.C. 86 an arterial or "traffic <br /> mover", care nust be taken to protect this function. In 1981, <br /> traffic volumes along this route had reached 4,500 vehicles <br /> -il per day. Given the capacity of the route (9,500 vehicles per <br /> day) this means that an excess capacity of approximately 5,000 <br /> vehicles per day remains. <br /> If this project is developed at an I34 density, an additional <br /> 98 trips per day would be added to N.C. 86 based on an average <br /> trip generation rate of 9.72 trips per day for medium density <br /> single family dwellings. <br /> Completion of Wildwood Phases I and. II will add an additional <br /> 1,789 trips per day to N.C. 86. The total additional trips <br /> per day generated by Wildwood Phases I and II and the proposal <br /> . ',. rezoning would be 1,887 trips. <br /> ._, . <br /> ,i----: <br /> l''--: • <br /> !,-.. . <br /> ;., . <br /> , . <br /> .. , <br /> . . . <br /> . . <br /> .: . <br /> .:. d <br /> ::- 1 <br /> , <br /> .,,_ <br /> .... <br /> . . <br />
