f. UTILITY CONDITION(S): There was general discussion on the imposition <br />of conditions associated with the extension of utilities to serve the project in <br />general. A BOCC member asked staff to review the recommended <br />condition(s) to ensure potential issues had been addressed. <br /> STAFF COMMENT: Staff is recommending the imposition of the <br />following additional condition: Looped water systems shall be <br />required to ensure necessary water flow and pressure within each <br />development district. <br />2. Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA): On December 4, 2017 the applicant <br />submitted a revised TIA providing additional detail on anticipated traffic <br />impacts/required improvements associated with the project. This was in response to <br />staff requests for additional detail. A summary of recommended improvements as <br />contained within the revised TIA (Attachment 1) is as follows: <br />Recommended improvements for the 2020 Build Phase are: <br />a. Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Old NC 86 & I-40 westbound, <br />required for Certificate of Compliance of any square footage build. <br />b. Construct the second lane of the I-40 East on ramp, and re-stripe the <br />southbound lanes of Old NC 86 at the I-40 East ramp for dual left turns, at <br />any level of build. <br />c. Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Old NC 86 & I-40 eastbound, <br />required for Certificate of Compliance of any square footage build. <br />d. Install a continuous right turn lane on south bound Old NC 86 between the <br />I-40 East off ramp and the Service Road, at any level of build. <br />e. Construct a continuous right turn lane on north bound Old NC 86 between <br />the Service Road and the I-40 East on ramp, at any level of build. <br />Construct a right turn lane on the Service Road at Old NC 86 with 200 feet <br />of storage and taper, for initial construction of facilities, at any level of build. <br />f. Construct a left turn lane on northbound Old NC 86 at the Service Road <br />with 150 feet of storage and taper, at any level of build. <br />g. Construction of a left-in/right-in/right out access for the Service Road at Old <br />NC 86 upon construction of greater than 900,000 square feet of warehouse <br />facility. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Staff has recommended to the applicant that the <br />‘trigger’ for the development of the aforementioned improvements be <br />converted into daily traffic trips. Further, the applicant has been asked <br />to provide travel trip data for the various proposed land uses within <br />District 1 (i.e. light manufacturing, research, etc.) in order to ascertain <br />the level of permitted development allowable without off-site roadway <br />improvements. <br />Staff is concerned about limiting left turns out of District 1 and relying on <br />a U-turn lane approximately 1,000 ft. south of the intersection of Service <br />Road and Old NC Highway 86. <br />To address this concern an additional condition has been recommended <br />by staff and the applicant, further detailed within this abstract. <br /> 14
