11 <br /> <br />Level of Service (LOS) is used to describe the operating conditions and driver delay (measured <br />in seconds) of an intersection. Operations are given letter designations from “A” (best <br />operating conditions) to “F” (worst conditions). <br /> <br />City Code Section 1007.020, Site Plan Review and Section 1001.013(2)(c), Premature <br />Subdivision establishes minimum Level Of Service (LOS) requirements. The ordinance states <br />that if the LOS is A or B, the proposed subdivision shall not the degrade the LOS more than <br />one grade. If the LOS is C or D, it shall not degrade the LOS. Intersections with a LOS of E or <br />F must be improved to ensure a LOS of D or better. <br /> <br /> 2022 No-Build Overall LOS 2022 Build Overall LOS <br />Intersection A.M. Peak P.M. Peak A.M.

Hodgson Road/North Road <br />intersection was analyzed as both a signal and a roundabout. The existing signal system is <br />adequate to address current and future traffic; however, there is some benefit to constructing a <br />roundabout. There is no construction timeframe for any intersection improvements at this time. <br /> <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet <br /> <br />An environmental assessment is not required for a motor fuel station and commercial car wash. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />A wetland delineation report was completed by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC on July 12, <br />2021.
