Apr-11-97 09: 53A Howard Sheldon 1-714-779-6612 P.01 IIIPlanning Commission 471-97: O'Neil Property April 10, 1997 Page 6 with 241 trips. The residential scenarios are lower, with the single family residential option (Comprehensive Plan) and the townhouse option at 65 trips, and the apartments at 125 trips. The highest traffic generation for the peak hour occurs for the theater proposal during th© generator's peak hour(397 trips per hour). This peak does not occur during the peak hour for the surrounding streets, and so, from a traffic operations perspective, does not create an impact on the adjacent intersections. The intersections are carrying a higher level of traffic at the PM peak for the street system at acceptable levels of service. We do not have the traffic generation rates for the alternative land use scenarios for the theater's peak hour, but they are all assumed to be lower than trips produced during the AM and PM peak hour for the surrounding street system. The peak hour trips for the theater have been distributed on the street system in Figure 2. The most sensitive link in the street system in County Road H2 between Highway 10 and Long Lake Road. This information shows that 420 trips per day will be added to this link. The total daily traffic volume on this link is 3,900 trips, so the project will cause this total to increase by 11%. The number of trips added during the peak hour for the theater is 72 trips, or 2% of the existing daily volume. This volume represents approximately one car per minute. The staff needs to talk with the traffic consultant before drawing further conclusions from this information, and to identify what time the theater peak is expected to occur. * Information on movie scheduling and its relationship to traffic flow during periods of peak movie attendance i.e. operations of the intersections during the peak hour for the generator (the theater) in addition to operations during the peak hour on the surrounding street system. Figure 2 shows how the trips from the proposed development would be distributed on the surrounding street network in terms of daily volumes, the PM peak for the adjacent streets and the peak for the generator. Using data from the original traffic study and the supplemental report, this information can be summarized as shown on the next page. •
