Memorandum to Dennis Trooien, Dcnnis Propel1ies Subject: Traftic Study for Proposed Rcdevelopment of Arden Plaza Page 4 01'6 June 29, 2007 buildings were assigned to the two driveways based on expected directional distribution and location of each new building relative to the driveways. The following are our directional distribution percentages, which are based on the cxisting traffic pattcrns for Arden Plaza: . 30 percent to/from the north on Lexington A venue . 30 percent to/from the south on Lexington A vcnue . 25 percent to/from the west on County Road E . 15 percent to/from the east on County Road E Figurc I shows traffic volumes for thc two driveway intersections for the following scenarios: existing (2007), 2007 with full occupancy of existing uses, 2009 upon completion of the proposcd redevelopment. 4) Trqffic Analyses. Capacity analyscs were completed at the two driveway intersections for all thrce of the above scenarios using the Synchro 7 .inalysis software. Existing geometrics and traffic control were used in the analysis for all three scenarios. The driveway intersection on County Road E presently provides one left turn lane, one through lane, and one shared through/right turn lane on the east and west approaches. Then north approach is a drivcway for the Holiday Inn and provides one lane for all movements. The south approach provides one shared through/left turn lane, and a short right turn lane, which providcs an effective storagc length of about 50 feet. The driveway intersection on Lexington A venue is a T intersection that presently provides one through lane and one shared through/right turn lane on the north approach and one through lane and one left turn lane on the south approach. The west approach, which serves the Arden Plaza development, provides one left turn lane and a short right turn lane, which is about 50 feet long. Capacity analysis results are prescnted in terms of level of service (LOS), which ranges from A to F. LOS A represents the best intersection operation, with very little delay for each vehicle using the intersection. LOS F represents the worst intersection operation with excessive delay. Motorists exiting the Arden Plaza development via the driveway on County Road E presently experience LOS E and movements exiting via the driveway on Lexington A venue presently experience LOS F. For the 2007 scenario with full occupancy of the existing uses, exiting movements at both driveways will experience LOS F. Exiting movements will continue to experience LOS F at both driveways upon completion of the proposed redevelopment.
