81 <br /> Nish and Tom's Comments on Buc-ee's TIA <br /> - Developer is willing to put in a number of off-site improvements (and investments). <br /> Orange County Planning has been pushing for US 70 Connector improvements for some time; the US 70 <br /> Connector remains a County priority by resolution. <br /> Mt. Willing is on the locally adopted 2019 Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan as well as the <br /> Orange County CTP with the following recommendations: <br /> o 4-Lane divided cross section (page 20 of the EBM AMP) <br /> ■ 1 00' ROW (4F) or 1 1 0' ROW (4G) — cross sections on next page <br /> ■ Current ROW is 60'; recommending a 25' ROW reservation for future improvements along <br /> Mt. Willing Road <br /> ■ County staff will recommend to the BOCC that Mt. Willing Road improvements be approved <br /> as a County priority in SPOT 7 and subsequent processes. <br /> Mt. Willing at 1-40 EB off ramp should be considered for a signalized intersection in Phase 2 <br /> o Stop sign currently at the off ramp; there is a 4-way stop intersection with W. Ten Road just south of <br /> this juncture. <br /> - Ben Johnson Road is not yet on the Triangle Regional Model (TRM) yet, but this project would help to support <br /> its addition to the TRM. <br /> o Ben Johnson Road turns into Dimmocks Mill Road and leads into Hillsborough; Dimmocks Mill Road was <br /> recently added to the TRM. <br /> - Neither the West RI/RO nor the East RI/RO indicate the length of the stem; developer should specify stem <br /> length since these roadways feed directly into 1-40 Service Road ramps. <br /> Staff would like to see an area of the project (either in Phase I or 11) be reserved for connection to the transit <br /> systems of the area; this could include: <br /> o A bus stop location with signage <br /> o A bus shelter with signage <br /> ■ A "Future Transit Amenity by others" on a 1.62-acre parcel on the northeast edge of the <br /> project area is listed on the second page of the Master Concept Plan, but was not indicated in <br /> either TIA. <br /> - Staff is interested in the internal roadway features of the project site (when both phases are built out) and <br /> what accommodations (sidewalks, side paths, bike lanes) might be included. <br />
