Mr. John Shardlow January 24, 1995 Page 2 · As shown in the table, the number of single family homes within the entire development site decreases from 111 to 79, while the number of townhomes increases from 95 to 108. Overall, the number of trips estimated to be generated from the entire site is expected to decrease by about 13% (down from 1,802 to 1,565) when comparing the original Concept liB" to the revised site plan. · The'decrease in anticipated trip generation will impact both the School District property and the private property. Anticipated impacts on the existing local roadway network will be slightly less, and traffic added to area roadways during the peak hour will also be less (down from 186 to 163 trips per hour, 109 in/54 out). · One change in the new roadway network alignment is proposed with the revised site plan. In Concept "B", a new roadway is proposed to be built intersecting Western Avenue between Maple Lane Court and Millwood Street. However, in the revised site plan, this roadway has been relocated to line up with Millwood Street. The advantage of this change is that, by aligning this roadway with Millwood Street, one less conflict point exists for traffic traveling Western Avenue. The disadvantage of this change is that some development traffic will utilize Millwood Street (instead of Western Avenue) to access South Owasso Boulevard on their way to Rice Street, adding through traffic to a residential street. · As shown in Drawing No. 2 of the initial Traffic Impact Analysis report, approximately 750 vehicles per day will access ont%ff of Western Avenue via the new roadway near Millwood Street. A review of the revised site plan showed that this total will remain nearly the same with the development shown. Of the approximately 750 vehicles per day accessing ont%ff of Western Avenue via the new roadway, approximately one-third of these vehicles are anticipated to be directed to South Owasso Boulevard, with the remainder traveling south to County Roads C and C2. 1his means that approximately 250 vehicles per day would either utilize Millwood Street or Western Avenue to gain access to/from South Owasso Boulevard from the new roadway. · It is likely that nearly all of 250 vehicles per day would use Western Avenue (instead of Millwood Street) to access South Owasso Boulevard, for the following reasons: Volumes on Western Avenue are light and sight distance is good, thus making for easy access onto and off of Western Avenue from the site. Millwood Street is a low speed residential roadway that leads only to South Owasso Boulevard. The time it would take to use Millwood Street instead of Western Avenue would be greater to motorists because of stop signs at both ends of Millwood
