Settler’s Pointe Development Hillsborough, NC <br />Traffic Impact Study b <br /> <br />The revised development is proposing to use an existing service road on the west side of Old NC 86 for <br />access to the Phase I parcel, and two access points on the east side of Old NC 86 to access the Buildout <br />parcels. The north most entrance to the retail/office/hotel parcel will be restricted to a right-in/right-out <br />driveway only. The main access is proposed to be approximately 1,000 feet south of the existing Service <br />Road, where the developer has control of properties that provide a street entrance into the <br />retail/office/hotel parcels. <br />The trip distributions were not modified from the submitted TIA, although as a result of the access types, <br />the driveway distribution for the retail/office/hotel parcel is different since there are now two access <br />points proposed for this area. <br /> <br />In order to provide recommendations for the thresholds for development in Build Phase I, an <br />additional scenarios were needed to make that determination. Therefore, subject intersections were <br />analyzed for the following scenarios: <br /> <br />x 2016 Existing Conditions <br />x 2020 Future No Build Conditions <br />x 2020 Build Conditions, Thresholds <br />x 2020 Build Conditions <br />x 2022 Future No Build Conditions <br />x 2022 Buildout Conditions <br /> <br />The development was analyzed under the various traffic conditions using Synchro 9.1 software and the <br />NCDOT Policy on Street and Driveway Access. North Carolina Department of Transportation Congestion <br />Management guidelines were followed in configuring the software for the analysis. Table 2A and Table <br />2B below indicate the trips generated for each of the threshold scenarios that determined the roadway <br />improvement levels of construction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />93
