Commissioner Adams inquired about trip generations for post offices, and Director <br />Boling responded that it is 86.8 daily trips per thousand square feet and that a drive-in bank <br />generated 276.7 daily trips per thousand square feet. If the bank did not have a drive-in, the <br />number of trips would drop to 190 trips. The recent experience with new banks coming in has <br />been they have drive-ins. The figures come from the LDR's and are based on ITE (Institute of <br />Traffic Engineers) standards. In some instances, the County has done their own traffic counts. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt that the downtown post office was far busier than the Barnett <br />Bank on the beach. The figures did not make sense to her. She was reminded that the figures <br />were based on square footage. <br />Chairman Eggert asked about handicapped parking at gas stations having a small store, <br />how much is being required. Director Boling explained that it is based on the size of the store <br />and our requirements are based on the State standards. More would be required for larger <br />projects. <br />Commissioner Macht had a problem with the trip generation in thinking about the beach <br />post office, which is small yet swarming with cars all the time. He had no profound objection to <br />banks. <br />A brief discussion ensued about trips generations at banks versus post offices. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />concerning the first proposed amendment. There was none. She asked if anyone wished to be <br />heard concerning the second proposed amendment. There was none. She asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard concerning the third proposed amendment. There was none. She then asked <br />if anyone wished to be heard concerning the fourth proposed amendment. <br />John Dean, local architect, advised that he was representing Mr. Beuttell.
