181 <br /> Stantec <br /> Stantec 801 Jones Franklin Road,Suite 300,Raleigh,NC 27606 <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 /> Trip Generation:Hillsborough Industrial Development,Orange County,MC <br /> Daily AM Peak PM Peak <br /> Land Use Ll1C Size ° c W FE2173 <br /> oWarehousing' 150 1000 1000 GFA 1626 813 313 145 148Warehousing' 150 1251.2 1000 GFA 2022 1011 loll 175 1783648 1824 1824 320 326 88 238 <br /> 'Trips were calculated using 1,000,000 and 1,251,200 SF as the acceptable data range for this land use is up to 2,000,000 SF per NCDOT Rate versus Equation <br /> spreadsheet. <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 /> 1-3306A(1-40 Widening) includes turning movement counts collected on March 5, 2019. However, these <br /> counts were only collected at the interchange of 1-40 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 /> Design with community in mind <br />
