<br />"\ <br /> <br />Mr. Dan O'Brien <br /> <br />-3- <br /> <br />August 4, 1994 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />the area's main access to T.H. 169. The Dodge Ave.lElk Hills Dr. intersection <br />consists of stop sign control of Dodge Ave., with one Jane approaches on all legs <br />except for eastbound Elk Hills Dr., which has a separate right turn lane. A 24 hour <br />traffic count taken on Tuesday, July 26, 1994 by Benshoof & Associates, Inc. showed <br />approximately 3,310 vehicles per day use Dodge Ave. north of Elk Hills Dr. <br /> <br />TRAFFIC FORECASTS <br /> <br />Trip Generation <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Utilizing results from local traffic studies and data published by the Institute of <br />Transportation Engineers, trip generation rates were established for uses in the <br />proposed new development. <br /> <br />Next, it is important to classify trips to and from the development in terms of the <br />following two categories: <br /> <br />New trips - These are trips solely to and from the proposed development. <br /> <br />. Passby trips - These are existing "through" trips on T.R. 169 that in the future <br />will include a stop at the proposed development. <br /> <br />Based on our experiences for these types of retail uses and information published by the <br />Institute of Transportation Engineers, we estimate that approximately 80 percent of the <br />trips generated by the development would be new, while 20 percent would be <br />considered passby. To account for multi-purpose trips, or trips that would make stops <br />at more than one of the businesses in the development, a five percent reduction factor <br />was applied to the overall trip generation. <br /> <br />Table 1 shows the p.m. peak hour trip generation and Table 2 shows the daily trip <br />generation for the proposed development. <br /> <br />TABLE 1 <br />P.M PEAK HOUR TRIP GENERATION PROJECTIONS FOR <br />ELK RIVER RETAIL CENTER <br /> <br /> Trip New Passby <br /> Size Generation Ratel Trip Ends2 Trip Ends2 <br />Use (Sa.Ft.)
