<br />\.!S: / E - /ð' <br /> <br />The operations of the unsignalized intersection will be evaluated for the AM and PM <br />peak hours with level of service calculations using the TRAFFIX level of service analysis <br />software. Traffic volumes for Background and Project Conditions will be obtained from <br />the original study where appropriate. It is expected that the original traffic study will <br />provide all necessary Background and Project traffic volumes necessary to complete <br />the analysis of these roadways. Additional services may be required if data included in <br />the traffic analysis is incomplete. <br /> <br />Identify Significant Impacts and Recommend Mitigation Measures: The results of the <br />level of service calculations for Project Conditions will be compared to the results for <br />Background Conditions to identify project impacts at the unsignalized intersection. If <br />significant impacts are identified, feasible mitigation measures will be recommended. <br />Feasible mitigation measures are those that can be constructed within the existing right- <br />of-way or that require minima! right-of-way acquisition, such as minor intersection lane <br />additions and restriping. The construction phasing of the proposed project will be taken <br />into account for project impacts. <br /> <br />Conceptual drawings of mitigation measures will be prepared as an additional cost. <br /> <br />Other Operational Issues: The drop-off and pick-up operations of nearby Hoover <br />Elementary School and the operations of the proposed project will be evaluated for both <br />safety and operational impacts. Observations will be made at the school (provided <br />school is in sessiOI1)-during these times. ' <br /> <br />The project proposes a fueling station that could create on-site queuing issues. Queues <br />will be estimated based on projected trip generation estimates provided in the original <br />study along with any available data from recent professional publications. If inadequate <br />data is available to estimate projected queues, surveys of existing Costco fueling <br />stations(s) could be conducted as an additional service. <br /> <br />The traffic analysis will consider, in concept, the placement of a traffic signal at the <br />intersection of Flynn and Scott Avenues and provide recommendations to City staff. In <br />addition, the analysis will also consider the possibilities of moving the entrance further to <br />the south and providing another access point to the site at Charter Street. <br /> <br />Assess Site Access, On-site Circulation, and Parking: The site plan for the project will <br />be reviewed to assess the operation of the site driveways and the internal circulation <br />system within the parking areas. This assessment will include a detailed review of the <br />geometrics to ensure that passenger, delivery, and emergency vehicles can maneuver <br />within the site. This analysis will include a discussion of pedestrian circulation in and <br />immediately adjacent to the proposed project site. <br /> <br />The parking supply will be assessed to determine the appropriate number of required <br />parking spaces based on a comparison of city requirements and the gross square <br />footage versus the actual retail space area. <br /> <br />Atty/Agr/2005,024 <br />062105 <br /> <br />16 <br />
