800 l The traffic impact= analysis and the proposed off-site traffic improvements were reviewed and approved by the county's Traffic Engineering Division. 6. Traffic Circulation: -Overall Analysis: As required by the LDRs, the- developer .submitted a traffic impact analysis performed by a professional engineer (see attachment #9). This analysis, which has been reviewed and accepted by the County Traffic Engineer, assumes a "worst case scenario" of 47,500 square feet of development including 2,300 square feet of restaurant use (note: the site plan.depicts 46,560 square feet and no sit down restaurant use).' According to the analysis, at build -out (assumed to occur in 1995), the project would generate 4,438 daily trips and 408 peak hour trips. Of the total project trips, 57.9% would be pass -by capture trips from vehicles already on the roadways. Thus, the new trips anticipated from the project are 11868 daily trips and 172 peak hour trips. Based on existing traffic volumes and estimated volumes resulting from the project, 1995 roadway level of service conditions with project traffic were analyzed. The analysis shows that SR A -1-A in and around the project site and in the entire south beach area would meet a "B" level of service (LOS) (see attachment #9). The LOS "B" is two levels above the county's minimum acceptable peak season/peak hour/peak direction LOS "D" standard. -External: The revised plan proposes three -driveway connections, two to Mooring Line Drive and one to Windward Way. The driveway on Windward Way and the eastern driveway on Mooring Line Drive are shown as full movement driveways. The western driveway on Mooring Line Drive would prohibit out bound left turns. The western driveway on Mooring Line Drive is designed to handle employee and delivery traffic, and would function to separate this type of traffic from store customers. _ For northbound traffic on S.R. A -1-A, a left -turn lane would need to be provided on S.R. A -1-A for traffic turning left onto Windward Way. The existing 36' of pavement within the Windward Way right-of-way would be restriped to provide 3 lanes of traffic, two eastbound and one westbound. This would provide a left turn lane and a right -turn lane/through lane for eastbound traffic. For southbound traffic on S.R. A -1-A, there would need to be a right -turn deceleration lane provided on S.R. A -1-A for traffic turning westbound onto Mooring Line Drive. Also, the pavement and the median within the Mooring Line drive right- of-way would need to be modified to provide a median opening for left turns into the proposed shopping center at two points. A left turn lane would need to be provided on the westbound segment of Mooring Line Drive by striping -out the existing 26' of pavement for a left turn into the center and through lane. An additional 4' of pavement would need to be added to the eastbound segment of Mooring Line Drive to complete a 24' wide segment, and the pavement would be striped to accommodate a through/left-turn lane and a right -turn lane. (Please see attachment #6 for a depiction of these required traffic improvements.) Residents who have reviewed the revisions have raised a concern that the proposed additional median cut is spaced closer than the 330' separation distance referenced in LDR section 952.12(9)(b) (see attachment #8).
