BOOK 92 FACE 855 <br />The applicant made the driveway splits by a "quick and dirty" <br />use of traffic counts, with no regard for the changed driving <br />patterns which must follow construction of this development. We <br />have made a far more analytic evaluation which shows different <br />splits, which leads to the categorization of the Windward Way <br />driveway as a "Major" driveway, and must cause rejection of this <br />site plan due to failure to meet article 952/29. <br />Driveway In4r*ess Egress Analysis <br />The basic criteria for this analysis is a judgement -weighted review <br />of driveway ingress/egress, based on the following criteria: <br />A) Drivers tend to favor the closest driveway. <br />Measurements and calculations for this criteria are <br />made external to the shopping center. <br />B) Drivers tend to enter the driveway which leads to <br />the drivers needing the least time traveling the <br />shopping center to get to their optimum parking <br />space.

He stressed that Chapter 952.26 stresses <br />that "Loading and unloading activities must in no way hinder <br />vehicular ingress or egress." <br />Discussion ensued regarding the intent of the ordinance that <br />the deliveries to the facilities will not interfere with the <br />81 <br />July 12, 1994 <br />
