exiting the subdivision will have to use 62nd Street, not all traffic will need to use Ware Road. It is estimated that 6 percent of the a.m. peak hour traffic and 8 percent of the p.m. peak hour traffic generated by the proposed subdivision will use West Shadow Lake Drive. This reduces the site - generated traffic using Ware Road north of 62nd Street to 24 percent during the a.m. peak hour and 33 percent in the p.m. peak hour. Site - generated traffic south of 62nd Street or Ware Road is not likely to change with the extension of West Shadow Lake Drive to 62nd Street. The additional traffic contributed by Miller's South Glen on the adjacent roadway system and the West Shadow Lake Drive extension is shown in Figure No. 3. West Shadow Lake Drive Extended to County Road J The directional distribution of the development - generated traffic will further change if West Shadow Lake Drive is ultimately extended to County Road J. Under this scenario, site - generated traffic from the north and south would be able to use either Ware Road or West Shadow Lake Drive and then 62nd Street to gain access to the development. Of the 70 percent of the a.m. peak hour site - generated traffic with origins and destinations south of 62nd Street, 35 percent will utilize both Ware Road and West Shadow Lake Drive extended south of 62nd Street. During the p.m. peak hour, an estimated 30 percent of the site - generated traffic will use Ware Road south of 62nd Street, 29 percent will use West Shadow Lake Drive. Site - generated traffic north of 62nd Street is not likely to change from the previous scenario as a result of further extending West Shadow Lake Drive to County Road J. The additional traffic contributed by Miller's South Glen on the adjacent roadway system and the West Shadow Lake Drive extension is shown in Figure No. 4. Potential Area Development In addition to the proposed Miller's South Glen development, there currently exists developable land along 62nd Street that would utilize the adjacent roadway system. This potential area development includes the second addition of Miller's Glen as well as other developable land along 62nd Street. Plat maps and aerial photographs were used to identify the remaining buildable land in the vicinity of 62nd Street. Approximately 70 additional lots were assumed. Figure No. 5 shows the location of the potential area development along 62nd Street. The potential area development along 62nd Street would add an additional 700 trips on an average weekday, 62 trips during the a.m. peak hour, and 71 trips during the p.m. peak hour. The additional traffic generated by the potential area development was assigned to the adjacent roadway system using the same general directional distribution of the Miller's South Glen traffic. Figure Nos., 6, 7, and 8 illustrate the additional traffic contributed by Miller's South Glen and the potential area development on the adjacent roadway system for the existing roadway system, West Shadow Lake Drive extended to 62nd Street, and West Shadow Lake Drive extended to County Road J scenarios, respectively.
