r 6. Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Impact on Traffic: The 1995 traffic volume on Lexington Avenue was 14,800 ADT. The Comprehensive Plan forecasts the traffic volume for 2010 to be 16,800 ADT. The traffic volume on Rosela\\-l1 is currently 2,350 ADT east of Lexington and is predicted to remain constant into the year 2010. Police records indicate that for the last three years, there have been 14 traffic or accident related calls at the intersection of Lexington and Roselawn. The significant change \\;ould be the number of turning movements into the site as proposed (1,000 to 1,200 movements to Kath) by comparison to the past users (approximately 100 movements to Ace's). The applicant originally proposed the site as shown in Figure 1. This site plan created a significant number of potential conflicts on the site. The Planning Commission required the , applicant to work with the engineering staff to improve internal traffic circulation. Since the Planning Commission meeting on July 10, 1996, staff has had an opportunity to meet with representatives of Mr. Kath to discuss traffic issues. In response to staff s concerns, the following modifications have been made to the site plan. (See Figure 2.) 1. The easterly lot line of Lot 1 has been located approximately 37 feet further east. Lot:2 will now ha\:e 100 feet of frontage on Roselawn A venue. 1 The com'enience store has been shifted slightly to the north to pro\'ide for a l7-foot drj\e aisle to the south of the store. This has been increased from the 12 feet proposed to the Planning Commission. J. The convenienc.e store has been shifted to the east approximately 40 feet. and the parking on the east side of the building has been eliminated. .f. 'The northerly driveway to Lexington Avenue has been eliminated. 5. The parking originally proposed for the southeast comer of the site has been relocated.
