29 <br /> 1 Lyle Overcash: That's Lawrence at US 70 Alt,the all-way stop. <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Beth Bronson: If you're from, if you're on Lawrence. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Lyle Overcash: That's an average, that's kind of like looking at the intersection. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Beth Bronson:All four? <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Lyle Overcash:Aggregate of the whole intersection.And then in the afternoon in the background it's 43 seconds average <br /> 10 and that goes to 70. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Leon Meyers:You said 70? <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Lyle Overcash: 70. Yes,43 to 70, yeah. You're looking at about 15 to 30 seconds more delay there on average. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Leon Meyers:Any questions? <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Beth Bronson:Yeah, I just want to make sure I'm clear, I'm understanding this is that while your TIA may recommend a <br /> 19 signal, the DOT does not require it? And so therefore it is no longer on this site? But there's not any consideration for the <br /> 20 SUP? <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Lyle Overcash: They own the roads so we can't construct it. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Nathan Robinson: So you recommended a signal.You said that, right? <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Lyle Overcash: We identified a signal would help the local service. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Nathan Robinson: Could you identify any traffic, I can't,what page are you,what page of the packet is this one? I'm trying <br /> 29 to scroll through 500 pages? <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Taylor Perschau:We have level of service summary Page 36. It's the number 36, but it's Page 38 of the PDF. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Nathan Robinson: Do we have authority as the Board of Adjustment to assign additional conditions to the approval? <br /> 34 <br /> 35 James Bryan: Conditions have to be relevant to a particular standard and have to be a condition so that the proposed use <br /> 36 meets that standard. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Leon Meyers:Just to be sure I understand, is it within the Board's authority to require improvements that would achieve a <br /> 39 level of service beyond LIDO standard? <br /> 40 <br /> 41 James Bryan: No.All the standards must be at those in the Unified Development Ordinance for this particular line use. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Beth Bronson: Can you please comment on the crash data? The number of rear ends I saw was significantly higher than <br /> 44 anything else. Can you explain that a little bit? Is that for an average of the entire area or is that an intersection? <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Lyle Overcash: We pulled the accident data of all the study intersections. Let me go back up. Yes. And two of the study <br /> 47 intersections, the worst one is US 70 at US 70 bypass where it comes together.And it's mainly the folks that take a left off <br /> 48 of US 70 and Palmers Grove. And those are the worst accidents that we kind of observed in the study area. Those are <br /> 49 kind of bad angles. We call them A crashes. You know,with our development,the way we're situated,we don't contribute <br /> 50 any volume to someone that would, no one from our site would go to that intersection and take a left. They're going to seek <br /> 51 the other path. You're not going to travel down this way and take a left and go back up. You would end up just going up <br /> 52 this side here. <br /> 53 <br /> 54 Beth Bronson: But if you're leaving,there's a right-hand turn lane now in the site plan to go that way to that intersection. <br /> 55 Obviously, I'm not thinking that they contribute to that crash. <br />
