~q Traffic flow conditions were analyzed at the following intersections: 1. US 15-501 and Main Street 2. US 15-501 and Future Site Driveway 3.. US 15-501 and Dogwood Acres Drive 4. Smith Level Road and Dogwood Acres Drive Traffic volumes from other existing and proposed developments (Southern Village and Chancellor's View) in the immediate area were included in the analysis of future conditions. The Traffic finpact Analysis makes the assumption that the proposed development will be completed and operational by 2007. The traffic impact analysis was based on the anticipated 2007 build out. According to the analysis, the proposed development (2007 build-out) would generate approximately :328 daily total vehicle trips. Because of budgetary constraints, the construction of proposed park improvements may be phased over a period of time beyond the anticipated 2007 build out. We are currently working on a phasing report for subsequent Council review. Traffic Lnpact Analysis Findings- Reconuuendatiorr. Existing and future design capacity analyses did not indicate a need for additional improvements to maintain adequate traffic operations on study area facilities. The results of flee short-terns design year intersection capacity analysis show that no improvements ar°e required to maintain adequate Level of Service and vehicular delay for any of the Peak periods. However, there are some safety considerations and operational efficiency considerations that need to be addressed due to the development impact of the proposed park, The Traffic Impact ?.nalysis reconunends the following improvements: 1. Construct a deceleration lane for site traf&c entering the park off of US 15-501 at the northern enhance. 2. Provide additional signage indicating access points to the park. 3. Prohibit on street parking along Dogwood Acres Drive within the park property. 4. Provide pedestrian crossing signs and street lighting for trails crossing Dogwood Acres Drive. 5. Provide active traffic calming measures on Dogwood Acres Drive. 6. Reduce speed limits on Dogwood Acres Drive to 25 mph within pink limits. 7. Set posted speed limit on park main access driveway at 15 mph, 8. bnprove internal driveway circulation.. We support the Endings of the Traffic finpact Analysis and the recommended improvements. The applicant bas agreed to the above recommendations. Roadway Improvements U3 IS-501: The Town as applicant is also proposing to construct dedicated right and left: turn lades on Dogwood Acres Drive at the US 15-501 South intersection. We recommend that the
