driveway and 20%of the traffic would use the westerly driveway. For the banquet and restaurant reuses, it was assumed that 80% would use the western driveway and 20% would be split from the easterly driveways. By applying the site trip distribution to the Existing P.M.Peak Hour traffic,as found in the Spack report, RLK was able to model the Build condition in the P.M. Peak Hour scenario. Levels of service were no worse than LOS-C for any of the study intersections. Delay and stacking distance did not appear to be significant at any of the driveways during the PM Peak Hour. SimTraffic analyses showed a 95`s Percentile Queue length of 51 feet(approx.2 car lengths)at the easterly driveway, and the model showed the queue cleared rapidly as traffic entered County Road E. The westerly driveway and the right-in/right-out driveway onto Lexington had similarly minimal queue lengths. Parldng Lot 1 is projected to provide 259 parking stalls, while Lot 2 is projected to provide 80 parking stalls. Thus the total projected parking to be provided is 339 stalls. Using rates from ITE Parking Generation,3rd Edition,the 150 unit apartment building would require 180 stalls. The projected parking demand for a day-care would be 17 stalls, while the projected parking demand for a health/fitness club would be 40 stalls. The projected parking demand for a pharmacy would be 34 stalls. Therefore, the projected parking demand of the proposed apartment building and the possible ancillary uses would be 271 stalls. This layout meets the projected parking demand. Conclusion RLK has tested several scenarios of trip generation and traffic operation for the market-rate apartment site, westerly portion of the building and the conceptual parcel to the east. Because of the effects of transit and other modes (i.e.,bikes,etc.), as well as shared trips and internal capture,it is our conclusion that the trip generation and traffic operation associated with these potential uses will operate the same,if not better than the previous use on the site (Holiday Inn hotel). The access locations do not negatively impact the flow of traffic along County Road E, nor do the various proposed trip generators cause increased impacts to the overall street network. The addition of the right-intright-out driveway onto Lexington will provide access options to the driver. It is important to realize that this analysis encompasses the market-rate apartments, and also makes assumptions as to the potential uses for Lot 2 and the reuse of the former restaurant and banquet facilities. More accurate trip generation calculations can be made for the site once those uses have been determined.
