ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Pagett 12 Wednesday, July 6, 1988 Johnson asked how they arrived at the specific traffic increase figures. Casci said that based on their studies and the national studies that this type of development would generate approximately 600 trips entering or exiting from the site during the peak hour, and that these trips where then distributed based on their projections on where the people would be coming from or going to from the site. Maschka questioned the parking being proposed at the park and VFW. Gregory pointed out that the VFW would be getting approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of additional space for parking under his proposal and that the VFW has been very cooperative in agreeing to pay for improvements to the park and for potentially being able to share parking with the park facility. Berry questioned the 20 - 25 second waiting time on Woodhill based on her experience at that intersection. Casci responded that the figure was an average figure between 3:00 and 6:00 pm. and that the maximum would be approximately 1 minute. Berry questioned the total existing traffic volumes on Lexington Avenue. Casci responded that on Lexington north of Woodhill, that the 1986 traffic figures were 12,500 vehicles per day, while south of Woodhill would be 11,200 vehicles per day. Casci told the commission that the added traffic on Lexington Avenue will not overload it or exceed it's capacity. Berry pointed out that a signal may be required on Woodhill. DeBenedet asked what the traffic impact would be if the site were developed under existing zoning. casci pointed out that a traffic generation for a shopping center be close to double that of the proposed residential development. DeBenedet asked if the area would function better if there were no access from the commercial to Woodhill. casci stated that he felt that would not be the better plan, that it might hinder the internal flow of the parking lot. Casci also stated that it would be a level of service D without a signal which is similar to the level of service existing now without the development. Ellen Shelton, 2018 Lexington Avenue, asked what the developers might expect for the number of families with children, and the turn-over rate in the proposed multi-family part of the development. Gregory replied that in their projects approximately 5% of the units have children of school age, and that there are typically 8 - 10 units per month available in a project.
