BOOK 79 FADE 809 5) Since the church's request was for a "Locked Gate Control" at the parking lot adjacent to the south end of 134th Street, for Saturday, Holy Days and Sunday Masses only, a detailed traffic and parking study was accomplished on March 31 and April 1, 1990 by Traffic - Engineering Staff. 6) Based on the above information and reconnaissance of the areas surrounding the church, a projection was made relative to the additional church traffic which could use 134th Street should the present fixed barrier be converted to a moveable gate. Based on the most recent proposal to pave 134th Street, St. Sebastian was to pay $15,149.72 as its fair share of the total assessment of $83,973.34 which represented 75% of the estimated cost of accomplishing the needed work. On Saturday, March 31, 1990, between 3:30 and 5:30 PM, for the 4PM Vigil Mass, a peak total of 247 vehicles were parked on the church site. Of these vehicles, one car entered the church site by driving around the fixed barrier on 134th Street. This represents an approximate vehicle occupancy of slightly over two per vehicle based on the 500 persons attending this mass. Of the parked vehicles, four left via 134th Street while 96 (38%) turned left (northbound) and 147(60%) turned southbound on US1 at the conclusion of the mass. At the Sunday masses, the numbers were as follows: 7:30-12Noon 448 Total Parked Cars Vehicles occupancy 950 = 2.12 persons per car 448 Cars leaving: 3 via 134th Street; 182(40%) northbound US 1; 262 (60%) southbound US 1 Baseu on this traffic study, staff is of the opinion that if 134th Street were open, approximately 80 trips ends (one direction) would utilize 134th Street on Saturday afternoon (4:30PM) and 150-160 trip ends would utilize 134th Street on Sunday from 7:30 AM to 12 Noon. Due to. Sunday School. for children from 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM, the majority of the Sunday traffic would use the road at that time. The total peak season weekly trip ends generated from the church would be 230-240. At the present time, approximately 25 homes exist on 135th Street. These units presently generate 200 trips per day, or 1,400 trips per week. In the future as the lots are developed, approximately 43 single family homes could front on 134th Street. If this occurs, residential land use could produce approximately 350 trip ends per day, or 2,450 trip ends per week. Based on these figures, the following church impact would be 240 church trips per week/2,690 total trips per week or 8.9% based on full build -out. In its current development state, this percentage would be 14.6% assuming the church impact does not increase. It is our opinion that the church will expand and this impact may increase. As currently calculated, the church's original assessment is 18.04% of the total project assessment. This percentage is based on 39.7% of the church property (total site is 9.57 acres) lying in the 134th Street benefitted area (as defined by original parcel boundaries included in the entire church property) . Staff is of the opinion that only 39.7% of the total church property should be assessed since the church 20
