D-11. - Traffic Impact Analysis Plan Review
A. Plan Preparation
1. Selection of Traffic Engineering Firm
The Traffic Impact Analysis Plan shall be prepared for the applicant by a qualified traffic engineering firm selected from a list of traffic engineering firms maintained by the Town. The list shall be created through the solicitation by the Town of professional traffic engineers qualified to perform this service. The list shall contain the names of at least three traffic engineering firms.
2. Establishment of Traffic Impact Plan Parameters
a.
Prior to beginning the Traffic Impact Analysis Plan, the applicant shall supply the Official with the following:
i.
A written narrative describing the proposed land use(s), size and projected opening date of the project and any phases. The narrative must also identify the Beaufort County Tax Map and parcel numbers to be occupied by the proposed development;
ii.
A site location map; and
iii.
A proposed site plan showing the location of the proposed development on the site and vehicular access to public or private streets or any other development.
b.
Based on this information, along with the ITE Trip Generation Manual and available information on land use, travel patterns and traffic conditions, the Official will supply in writing to the applicant or the applicant's selected engineering firm the parameters to be followed in the study, including the directional split of driveway traffic, trip distribution, background traffic growth rate, previously approved but not completed projects, and the intersections to be analyzed along with any associated turning movement counts which are available.
An acceptable traffic impact analysis plan shall include an accurate representation of the following elements:
1. A current site plan or subdivision plat identifying access to and from existing or proposed streets and intersections. In addition, a vicinity map shall be provided.
2.
Description of the proposed development, including the type of proposed land use, the number of residential units by type, the number of existing and proposed lots, the type of proposed non-residential development and the amount of such development measured by gross floor area or other appropriate unit of measure, the general size and type of accessory development or facilities, and, for non-residential development, adequate information to identify the appropriate land use category for trip generation.
3.
Projected vehicular trips to and from the completed development, or any interim development phases, on the adjacent street during the peak hour. The percentage of passerby trips, if used in the plan, shall be included, as well as the source of this information.
4.
A written narrative setting forth the assumptions upon which any projection, made in developing the traffic impact analysis plan required under this part, is based. If the assumptions are derived from the ITE manual, the materials shall be identified. If the assumptions are not from the ITE manual, appropriate excerpts will be included in the study and the reasoning underlying the assumptions shall be stated in the narrative.
5.
The traffic impact analysis plan shall be based on intersection analysis procedures for signalized intersections and roundabouts as identified in the Transportation Research Board's current Highway Capacity Manual Special Report 209 and utilize computer software which emulates these procedures and is acceptable to the Official. Any analysis involving a traffic circle will utilize computer software which is designed to analyze traffic circles and is acceptable to the Official. The results of any required computer analysis shall, at a minimum, indicate compliance or non-compliance with the traffic standards of Sec. 16-5-106, Traffic Analysis Standards.
6.
The intersections which must be analyzed in the study are identified as:
a.
Any signalized intersection that serves as a development's point of access to a major arterial. This will include intersections of public and private roads with major arterials, and driveways offering direct access to a major arterial; and
b.
The first signalized intersection on either side of the development's primary point of access to a major arterial; and
c.
Other signalized intersections on major arterials if within 1 road mile of the development's primary point of access to a major arterial and when in the opinion of the Official there is a potential for a significant impact to the intersection's level of service from site related traffic; and
d.
Any traffic circle or roundabout, when in the opinion of the Official, there is a potential for a significant impact to the circle's level of service from site related traffic.
7.
At a minimum, the plan must include the results of a computerized analysis projecting the operating conditions of critical intersections relative to the Town's adopted traffic service level standards. The analysis shall reflect the projected condition of these intersections and movements based on the scheduled opening date of the development and, where applicable, on other significant phase-in dates of the development project.
8.
If the initial computerized analysis indicates that the Town's adopted traffic service level standards will be not be met, a mitigation plan must be included in the plan based on at least one additional computer analysis. This mitigation plan must show how the Town's adopted traffic service level standards will be satisfied. Applicants will only be responsible to mitigate the traffic impact of their proposed development. Acceptable roadway mitigation measures are limited to the following:
a.
Traffic signal timing adjustments;
b.
Traffic signal phasing adjustments;
c.
Pavement marking revisions;
d.
Adding additional intersection turn lanes not to exceed 4 lanes on minor arterial approaches and 5 lanes on major arterial approaches; and
e.
Geometric improvements to traffic circles or roundabouts.
