ERIC BOYETTE <br />GOVERNOR SECRETARY <br /> <br />Mailing Address: <br />NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION <br />DIVISION 7, DISTRICT 1 <br />PO BOX 766 <br />GRAHAM, NC 27253-0766 <br />Telephone: (336) 570-6833 <br />Fax: (336) 570-6873 <br />Customer Service: 1-877-368-4968 <br /> <br />Website: www.ncdot.gov <br />Location: <br />115 EAST CRESCENT SQUARE DRIVE <br />GRAHAM, NC 27253 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />July 31, 2020 <br /> <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br /> <br />Mr. Matthew Peach, PE <br />Stantec Consulting Services Inc. <br />801 Jones Franklin Road <br />Suite 300 <br />Raleigh, NC 27606 <br /> <br />Subject: Proposed Research Triangle Logistics Park <br /> Located on SR 1223, Service Road and SR 1129, Davis Road <br /> Review of Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Peach, <br /> <br />NCDOT Congestion Management Unit, Division and District staff have completed <br />review of the TIA for the above-mentioned development. Based on the information <br />provided, I offer the following comments. <br /> <br />General: <br /> <br />The proposed site consists of 2,251,200 SF of industrial warehousing with four buildings <br />interconnected via an internal road network. Access is provided via three proposed full- <br />movement driveways on the existing service road and a fourth full movement driveway <br />located on Davis Road. The site is expected to generate approximately 3648 new daily <br />trips upon buildout in 2023. The TIA did not provide any information or analysis <br />regarding phasing of the project. It is assumed the site will be developed as single entity <br />in a continuous manner. <br /> <br />Methodology: <br /> <br />Due to the current NCDOT moratorium on traffic volume data collection as a result of <br />Covid-19 impacts, background traffic was determined utilizing data provided in the <br />previously submitted Settler’s Pointe TIA and adjusted accordingly for background <br />growth and contributing traffic from approved development. This is consistent with the <br />scoping document previously approved by the Department. <br />42
