96 <br /> The survey and design teams for the Highway 86 project did a field visit to explore the sight distance. <br /> Their findings are provided below and attached. Please let us know how that would impact the <br /> driveway design. Since the sight distance minimums are met,would full access be acceptable? Also, <br /> with the majority of traffic coming from the south,would turn lanes be required? <br /> The sight distance for a 50 mph roadway is 551'looking right and 478'looking left. This is based on <br /> the formula 1.47 x seconds x Design speed. Seconds is 7.5 for looking right,and 6.5 for looking left. <br /> At the northern driveway we have 1028' (551'required),and 898'(478' required). For the southern <br /> driveway, looking right we have 551' (551'required),and 813'(478' required). <br /> Thanks, <br /> Joshua Reinke, PE (NC) <br /> Traffic Senior Project Manager <br /> Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br /> n (864)887-3905 <br /> From: Edwards, Charles N <cnedwards(@ncdot.gov> <br /> Sent:Thursday, January 16, 2025 3:20 PM <br /> To: Allison Wise<allison.wise(@bolton-menk.com>; Lineberger, Nicholas C <br /> <nclineberger(@ncdot.gov>;pmallett(@orangecountync.gov; cstoberccDorangecountync.gov; <br /> tperschau(@orangecountync.gov <br /> Cc:Joshua Reinke<ioshua.reinke(@bolton-menk.com>; Donald Sever<donald.sever(@bowman.com> <br /> Subject: RE: [External] Highway 86 Subdivision -Trip Generation <br /> I have reviewed the information provided and offer the comments below. <br /> PermlttlnE. <br /> Prior to performing work in the NCDOT right of way, the applicant will need to obtain the following: <br /> • Approved NCDOT Driveway Permit <br /> • Approved NCDOT 3-party encroachment agreement for any proposed/stipulated water and <br /> sewer or sidewalk construction <br /> Trip Generation and Traffic Impacts: <br /> Based on the information provided, the proposed development consists of a 42-lot single family <br /> residential subdivision. The site is expected generate approximately 454 daily trips at full buildout. <br /> NCDOT threshold to require formal TIA submittal is not satisfied. The proposed accesses and adjacent <br /> road network is expected to operate acceptably with no capacity improvements warranted per <br /> NCDOT guidelines. The local jurisdiction may have additional requirements.
