n 7 7 STATE of NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MICHAEL F. EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY November 17, 2003 ORANGE COUNTY Mr Eddie Kirk Orange County Planning 306 -F Revere Rd, P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Subject: Plan Review for Proposed Addition to the State Employees Credit Union Located on SR 1009 (S Churton St) in Hillsborough Per you request this office has reviewed the site plan submitted by O'Brien Atkins and has conducted a site visit during the PM peak hour. The proposed addition does not appear to significantly increase the trips generated by this site. The proposed new full access driveway located near the southern property comer on Old NC 86 is too close to the existing Millstone Drive. This location would potentially result in conflicts with southbound left turn movements on to Millstone Drive. This office does not recommend a full access driveway at this location. The conversion of the existing driveway on Old NC 86 to a right in -right out would eliminate potential left turn conflicts.. It should be noted, however, that during the peak hour field visit, no functional problems were noted with this existing full access driveway and the nearby intersection of Oakdale Drive and Old NC 86. The proximity of existing neighboring driveways and intersections provide little opportunity for appreciable traffic flow improvement at this time, TIP project R -2825 has been included in the 2004 -2010 Transportation Improvement Program. This project will include the widening of Old NC 86 from 1 -40 to U.S, 70 Business to a multilane facility. The current design is a divided facility with limited median cross over. It is anticipated that once this project is constructed that all access to this site on Old NC 86 would be limited to right in right out only With this information in mind this office makes the following recommendations: P.O.. Box 766 Graham, N.C, 27253 Telephone (336) -570 -6833
