Traffic Study A Traffic Impact Study was prepared by SSTS, dated October 15, 2024, and revised March 28, 2025. The study analyzed two design years: • Year 2027 to correspond to the year after completion of the Proposed Project with full construction of the original Nature's Refuge site (61 single family homes) assumed. The following access scenarios are considered: o Two Access Scenario - Access at the existing Main St/Glenwood Dr intersection and access at a proposed Andall St connection. o Single Access Scenario —Access only via the existing Main St/Glenwood Dr intersection. • Year 2040 to correspond with a planning year horizon. In year 2040 the Pine Oaks Addition development, adjacent to the east side of the Proposed Project, is assumed to be developed. Two additional access points are considered, a northern connection to Pine St through the future Pine Oaks Addition and a connection of Haywood Dr to Wood Duck Tr. Due to the feasibility concerns with the Andall St Access, access scenarios with and without the Andall St connection are considered. This study focuses on the roads and intersections that provide direct and indirect access to and from the site and details the existing and future roadway conditions at studied intersections and access points and includes traffic volumes, lane geometrics and traffic operational analysis results. The intersections reviewed included: • Main Street/Glenwood Drive • Main Street/Woodduck Trail • 4th Avenue/Andall Street • Andall St/Proposed Access The study results indicate there is little to no significant impact on the adjacent streets and intersections due to trips expected to be generated by the proposed development. Trip generation for the proposed development is estimated at 868 daily. Approximately 8% or 70 vehicles a day is expected to use the Andall Street connection. This is well within the capacity of Andall Street and Woodduck Trail based on the engineering review. Per City Code Section 1001.013(2)(c)4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the 14
