The traffic forecasts <br />account for the planned Walgreens development and the multi-use development at Silver Lake <br />Drive and T.H. 10 discussed earlier in the background inforcnation. The forecasts also include <br />background growth at a rate of 2.5% per year that is consistent with the traffic �rowth on T.H. <br />10 from 1992 to 1997. The base 1999 trai�c volumes include the multi-use development at <br />Silver Lake Drive and T.H. 10. <br />The primary source for e�cisting vehicle volumes for the purposes of this analysis are 24 hour <br />daily counts conducted by Benshoof & Associates sta#� along Eastwood Drive, Sunnyside <br />Road and Greenwood Drive during December 1997. The staff also conducted the license plate <br />survey and p.m. peak hour turning movement counts at the intersections of both Eastwood <br />Drive and T.H. 10 on County Road I. <br />• Trip Generation <br />The trip generation rate used for the Walgreens development is based on established data <br />published by the Institute of Transportation En�ineers (ITE). The average daily trip rate <br />for this type of development is about 88 trips per 1,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. Based <br />on a size of 13,905 sq. ft., the development will generate approximately 1,225 vehicle trips <br />per day. <br />The p.m. peak hour trip rate is 9.18 trips per 1,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. The total <br />number of trips expected to be generated is 129 during the p.m. peak hour. During the <br />p.m. peak hour, about 49% of the Walgreens trips would enter the site and 51% would <br />exit. Approximately 45% of all the trips generated by the Walgreens store are considered <br />to be "pass by" trips that involve motorists who are already driving on T.H. 10 and County <br />Road I and would stop at this development. The percentage of "pass by" volumes is based <br />on information published by the ITE. Table 3 shows the resultant p.m. peak hour trip <br />generation projections. <br />
