Mr. Robert Cunningham -2- January 27, 1998 <br /> developed for Sunnyside Road, Greenwood Drive and Red Oak Drive that also <br /> accounted for the Walgreens development component. <br /> 3. Traffic Analysis. An analysis of the Walgreens development's impact on the adjacent <br /> neighborhood was performed which included A detailed analysis was completed to <br /> determine the traffic impacts during the p.m. peak hour along T.H. 10 and County <br /> Road I at the major access points into the development. The analysis also examined <br /> how neighborhood traffic would reroute with the closing of Eastwood Drive. <br /> 4. Conclusions. Based on this analysis, a series of conclusions and recommendations <br /> have been developed. <br /> BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br /> This section examines the proposed development's location and some of its development <br /> characteristics. It is followed by an examination of the existing roadway conditions adjacent to <br /> the development site. <br /> Development Location and Description <br /> The proposed Walgreens site is located in the northeast corner of the T.H. 10 at County Road <br /> I intersection as shown in Figure 1. The proposed development will require closure of <br /> Eastwood Drive just north of County Road I. The closed portion of Eastwood Drive at the <br /> north end of the property provides a cul-de-sac that will allow vehicles traveling southbound to <br /> turn around. <br /> The Walgreens development will have a floor area of 13,905 sq. ft. The development is <br /> proposed to have access both on County Road I and T.H. 10. The County Road I location will <br /> be full access, and T.H. 10 access will be restricted to right turns in and out. Vehicles will not <br /> have access to the site from the north on Eastwood Drive. <br /> Existing Characteristics <br /> The primary roadways examined in this analysis are Eastwood Drive north of County Road I, <br /> County Road I and T.H. 10. Consideration is also given to other local streets, such as <br /> Greenwood Drive. Eastwood Drive is classified as a local street serving the needs of the <br /> adjacent neighborhood. The road is 30 feet wide (no sidewalks or curbs) and runs a distance <br /> of 1,300 feet between County Road I and Hillview Road. The intersection at County Road I is <br /> restricted to only right turn movements. County Road I is a four lane undivided collector road <br /> with a daily volume of 5,800 vehicles. <br /> A raised median presently exists on County Road I east of T.H. 10, which extends past the <br /> Eastwood Drive intersection to enforce the left turn restrictions at Eastwood Drive. The <br /> existing spacing on County Road I between T.H. 10 and Eastwood Drive is about 30 feet. <br /> Two difficulties caused by this short spacing are: 1) southbound traffic on Eastwood Drive <br />
