AuguSt 5, 1997 . established 90 seconds as the maximum tolerable delay for northbound left turning motorists at the Round Lake Road intersection. Having established 90 seconds as the delay threshold, the northbound left turn traffic volume was increased in the ReS until the estimated delay was very nearly 90 seconds. Several iterations were necessary to determine the maximum volumes that could be added to the inbound and outbound turn movements and still maintain a maximum delay of 90 seconds for the northbound left turn. Assigning the inbound and outbound trips in proportion to the observed turn movements results in the peak hour turn movements shown in Figure 2. These turn movements represent the maximum turn movements that result in a threshold delay of 90 seconds at the current stop controlled intmection of Round Lake Road and Highway 96. The final step was to convert the additional trips which resulted in the maximum threshold delay into the amount of occupied floor area which will generate this number of trips. The proposed development floor area will be divided into 20 percent office space and 80 percent warehouse space. The table below shows the forecast number of weekday p.m. peak hour trips generated by 200,000 sq. ft. of development when fully occupied. Table of Weekday P.M.

Thus, we conclude that the current stop controlled intersection can accommodate the development and full occupancy of200,OOO sq. ft. of the Gateway Business Center. I The number of trips generated for ca<h land use (and the number inbound and outbound) are calculated from the rates published in Trip Generation, 5th Edilion, [nstitule of Trarnportation Engineer<. 1991. .
