LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. Mr. Craig Waldron November 26, 1985 Page 8 submitted site plans. Structured and surface parking for the development complies with City ordinance requirements for the B-4 district and the type of uses proposed. A total of 3,430 spaces will be provided on the Property at full development. Benshoof & Associates, Inc., performed a detailed traffic analysis of the proposed Centre Pointe Development (the Traffic Analysis). The Traffic Analysis was submitted to the City as part The conclusions of the Traffic Analysis, which have obeenesharedcwith. neighbors at a neighborhood meeting on November 12, 1985, and with City staff, are that the local and regional roadway system can effectively accommodate the type and intensityof uses p rposed the Centre Pointe Development. The following are major findingsfor from the Traffic Analysis: 1. Traffic on Cleveland Avenue is expected to continue to operate effectively after completion of the proposed Centre Pointe Development. 2. A public roadway parallel to Cleveland Avenue extending throughout most of the Property is proposed for the majority of the internal circulation system. Benshoof & Associates, Inc., has indicated that this feature has three distinct advantages in that trips from one building on the site to another will not have to use Cleveland Avenue, motorists have a choice regarding ingress and egress Points, and the roadway design effectively integrates the entire development. 3. The existing two-lane striping on Cleveland Avenue between County Road D and north of County Road C-2 will need to be revised in order to safely accommodate left turns into the Property. The Traffic Analysis indicates that two alternatives are available within the existing right-of-way: a three -lane striping on Cleveland Avenue between County Road D and the intersection with the I-35W ramps and a four -lane striping. 4. Traffic surveys conducted on the Property in September 1985 indicate that existing traffic on Brenner Avenue incurs minimal delays in turning onto Cleveland Avenue and that the projected Post -development volume on Cleveland Avenue is similar to that which is presently experienced on several other roadways in the City and other communities with adjacent residential land use. In addition, all but four homes on the east side of Cleveland Avenue presently have driveway turnarounds so that they can drive forward to enter Cleveland Avenue. A site visit by the traffic consultant indicates that the remaining four homeowners have enough room to provide such turnarounds.
