<br /> <br />Stantec <br />801 Jones Franklin Road, Suite 300, Raleigh, NC 27606 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />May 26, 2020 <br />File: 171002240 <br />Attention: Chuck Edwards, PE <br />District Engineer, NCDOT Division 1, District 1 <br />115 East Crescent Square Drive <br />Graham, NC 27253 <br />Dear Mr .Edwards, <br />Reference: Hillsborough Industrial Development TIA, Orange County, NC <br />This letter is attached to the NCDOT Traffic Impact Analysis Scoping Forms. It is intended to elaborate <br />on Stantec’s approach to trip generation, use of historical turning movement counts, and approved <br />development traffic. <br />TRIP GENERATION <br />The NCDOT Rate vs. Equation Spreadsheet (effective July 1, 2018) limits the use of Warehousing (land <br />use code 150) to 2,000,000 square feet. As the proposed development in in-excess of this limit, the <br />approach to trip generation is to generate trips separately for 1,000,000 and 1,251,200 square feet. <br />Results are as follows: <br /> <br />HISTORICAL TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS <br />Turning movement counts used in the Settler’s Pointe TIA (dated August 2017) are proposed to be used <br />with this study. The data was collected on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 by GreenLight Traffic Services, <br />Inc. The 2016 Existing Peak Hour Volumes figure from the study is attached to this letter. <br />Traffic counts used as part of U-5845 (Churton St. Widening) were collected on June 7, 2016 and pre- <br />date the counts used in the Settler’s Pointe TIA. <br />I-3306A (I-40 Widening) includes turning movement counts collected on March 5, 2019. However, these <br />counts were only collected at the interchange of I-40 at Old NC 86 and therefore do not include all study <br />intersections. <br />Therefore, it is recommended the October 18, 2016 traffic counts used in the Settler’s Pointe TIA be used <br />in this study. <br />181
