1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY WEST BRANCH RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DAVIDSON, NORTH CAROLI This report summarizes the findings of the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that was performed for the proposed West Branch Residential Development to be located along the west side of Davidson Concord Road south of Concord Road in Davidson, North Carolina. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential impact to the surrounding transportation system caused by the traffic generated by the proposed development. The proposed site includes 199 detached single-family homes and 17 townhomes. The project is expected to be completed by 218. Access to the site is anticipated via a proposed full access driveway on Davidson Concord Road and four proposed full access driveways on Robert Walker Drive. The study area for the TIS was determined through coordination with the Town of Davidson and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and consists of the following intersections: 1. Davidson Concord Road and Concord Road / East Rocky River Road (unsignalized) 2. Davidson Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive (unsignalized) 3. Hudson Place and Samuel Spencer Parkway (unsignalized) 4. Hudson Place and Patrick Johnston Lane (unsignalized) 5. Hudson Place and Kimberly Road (unsignalized) 6. Bradford Park Drive and Robert Walker Drive (unsignalized) 7. Bailey Springs Drive and Bradford Park Drive (unsignalized) 8. Davidson Concord Road and Site Drive 1 (unsignalized full access) 9.

Robert Walker Drive and Site Drive 4 (unsignalized full access) 12. Robert Walker Drive and Site Drive 5 (unsignalized full access)

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study Based on coordination with NCDOT and the Town of Davidson, no offsite developments were determined to have an impact on the project study area. In addition, no approved roadway projects are expected to be constructed that would have an impact on the project study area. Several scenarios were analyzed using traffic analysis software. Traffic operations during the weekday AM and PM peak hours were modeled for each scenario. The results of each scenario were compared in order to determine impacts from background traffic growth and the proposed development. The following scenarios were modeled: 216 Existing 218 No-Build 218 Build 218 Build - Roundabout Based on the analysis results, minor impacts are expected by the proposed development. No queue issues are expected. The following improvements have been recommended to be constructed by the developer: Davidson-Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive Construct a southbound right turn lane on Davidson-Concord Road with 125 of full width storage and appropriate taper. Davidson-Concord Road and Site Drive 1 Construct Site Drive 1 as a full access driveway with one ingress and one egress lane on the eastbound approach. Robert Walker Drive and Site Drive 2 Construct Site Drive 2 as a full access driveway with one ingress and one egress lane on the southbound approach. 2

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1. Purpose of Report This report summarizes the findings of the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that was performed for the proposed West Branch Residential Development to be located along the west side of Davidson Concord Road south of Concord Road in Davidson, North Carolina. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential impact to the surrounding transportation system caused by the traffic generated by the proposed development. 2.2. Study Objectives The proposed site includes 199 detached single-family homes and 17 townhomes. The project is expected to be completed by 218. Access to the site is anticipated via a proposed full access driveway on Davidson Concord Road and four proposed full access driveways on Robert Walker Drive. Refer to Figure 1 of Appendix A for an illustration of the site location map, and to Figure 2 for the preliminary site plan. Refer to Appendix A for all figures. The objective of this report is to determine what geometric improvements are necessary to mitigate traffic conditions on the transportation network surrounding the site with the proposed development fully built out. 3. AREA CONDITIONS 3.1. Transportation Network Study Area 3.1.1. Area Roadway System The project study area for this TIS was based on coordination with the Town of Davidson and the NCDOT. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the roadways within the study area. The NCDOT Functional Class map was used to determine the classification of each road. Traffic Volume maps from NCDOT were used to find the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes in vehicles per day (vpd) for the roadways. 4

Existing Roadway Conditions Existing lane configurations (number of traffic lanes on the intersection approach), storage capacities, and other intersection and roadway information was collected through field reconnaissance by Ramey Kemp and Associates, Inc. (RKA). Refer to Figure 3 for the existing lane configurations and traffic control at study intersections. 3.1.1.2. Future Roadway Conditions Based on coordination with NCDOT and the Town of Davidson, no offsite developments were identified to have an impact on the project study area. In addition, no approved roadway projects are expected to be constructed that would have an impact on the project study area. 3.1.2. Study Area and Existing Traffic Volumes The study area for the TIS was determined through coordination with NCDOT and the Town of Davidson and consists of the following intersections: 1. Davidson Concord Road and Concord Road / East Rocky River Road (unsignalized) 2. Davidson Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive (unsignalized) 5

Robert Walker Drive and Site Drive 5 (unsignalized full access) Existing traffic volumes were determined through traffic counts conducted during the AM peak period (7:-9: AM) and the PM peak period (4:-6: PM). A copy of the traffic count data can be found in Appendix B of this report. The peak hour traffic volumes were not balanced between intersections due to the locations of driveways throughout the network and the traffic at the study intersections peaking during different time periods. As suggested by NCDOT Congestion Management, existing movements with zero volume were converted to four vehicles per hour to prevent incorrect capacity calculations. Refer to Figure 4 for an illustration of the existing peak hour traffic volumes. 3.2. Study Area Adjacent Land Use 3.2.1. Existing Land Uses The existing site is undeveloped. The surrounding land is primarily residential, institutional, and commercial. 3.2.2. Anticipated or Approved Future Development Based on coordination with the NCDOT and the Town of Davidson, no offsite developments were identified that would affect traffic operations within the study area. 6

4. PROJECTED TRAFFIC WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study 4.1. Site Traffic In order to determine the future traffic conditions after the proposed development is completed, an estimate of traffic projected to travel to / from the proposed development is required. The average weekday daily, AM peak hour, and PM peak hour site trips for this study were calculated based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. 4.1.1. Trip Generation The average weekday daily as well as AM and PM peak hour site trips for this study were calculated based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9 th Edition. Table 2 summarizes the weekday trip generation. TABLE 2 PROPOSED SITE TRIP GENERATION Weekday Volumes (VPH) Land Use Size Units Daily AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Total In Out Total In Out Total Single Family Detached (21) 199 DU 1,894 37 112 149 125 74 199 Residential Townhouse (23) 17 DU 622 8 39 47 37 19 56 Total Trips 2,516 45 151 196 162 93 255 (1) Based on ITE Trip Generation - 9th Edition 4.1.2. Trip Distribution and Assignment The primary trip distribution percentages were developed based on existing traffic patterns, nearby land uses, employment centers, and engineering judgment. Figure 5 illustrates the proposed site trip distribution percentages. These trip distribution percentages were applied to the total new trip generation data to calculate the proposed site trip assignments shown in Figure 6. It should be noted that due to the geometry of the proposed site driveway, some traffic enters Site Drive 1 and travels through to Site Drive 5, and some traffic enters though the Hudson Place internal connection and travels to the site drives along Robert Walker Drive. 7

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study 5. TRAFFIC ALYSIS 5.1. Traffic Analysis Scenarios Several scenarios were analyzed using traffic analysis software. Traffic operations during the weekday AM and PM peak hours were modeled for each scenario. The results of each scenario were compared in order to determine impacts from background traffic growth, and the proposed development. The following scenarios were modeled: 216 Existing 218 No-Build 218 Build 218 Build - Roundabout The 216 Existing scenario included the traffic characteristics that currently exist in the study area. Existing peak hour traffic volumes were determined from the intersection counts. No changes to the existing lane configurations were made. In accordance with the Davidson Planning Ordinance pedestrian and bicycle movements were included for all intersections. The 218 No-Build scenario was analyzed to determine the expected future traffic operations. A compounded growth rate of 2% per year was used to project the exiting traffic volumes to the future volumes. These projected volumes represent the 218 No-Build peak hour traffic volumes found in Figure 7. No changes to the existing lane configurations were made. In accordance with the Davidson Planning Ordinance pedestrian and bicycle movements were included for all intersections. The 218 Build scenario was compared to the 218 No-Build scenario to determine expected impacts caused by traffic created by the proposed site. This scenario included the same assumptions as the 218 No-Build scenario. The trips expected to be generated by the proposed site (Figure 6) were added to the 218 No-Build peak hour volumes (Figure 7) to determine the 218 Build peak hour traffic volumes. Refer to Figure 8 for the 218 Build peak hour traffic volumes. No changes to the existing lane configurations were made. In accordance with the Davidson Planning Ordinance pedestrian and bicycle movements were included for all 8

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study intersections. Recommendations for improvements to the development were included in the traffic models. The 218 Build Roundabout scenario was included based on discussions with the Town of Davidson requesting analysis of the intersection of Davidson-Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive as a roundabout. 5.2. Traffic Analysis Procedure All study intersections (both unsignalized and roundabouts) were analyzed using the methodology outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) published by the Transportation Research Board. The computer software packages, Synchro 9.1, SimTraffic 9.1, and Sidra Intersection 5.1 were used to complete the analyses for all of the study area intersections. Synchro was developed by Trafficware Corporation and allows the user to input data into the Synchro software and calculate the output based on methodologies in the HCM. SimTraffic creates a traffic simulation model from the Synchro inputs. SimTraffic was used in this study to determine expected queue lengths. Sidra Intersection 5.1 is a software package developed by Sidra Solutions that is used to analyze roundabouts. Sidra was used to model and analyze the existing roundabout at Davidson- Concord Road and Concord Road and the proposed conversion of the existing Davidson-Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive intersection into a roundabout. Analysis results for roundabout intersections provide delay, and level of service (LOS) for all movements and approaches. The overall intersection delay, and LOS is also provided. The capacity analysis for an unsignalized intersection does not provide an overall LOS for the intersection, but rather a LOS for movements and/or approaches that have a conflicting movement. The HCM defines capacity as the maximum hourly rate at which persons or vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform section of a lane or roadway during a given time period under prevailing roadway, traffic, and control conditions. LOS is a term used to represent different driving conditions, and is defined as a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, and their perception by motorists and/or 9

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study passengers. LOS varies from Level A representing free flow, to Level F where greater vehicle delays are evident. Refer to Table 3 for HCM levels of service and related average control delay per vehicle for both signalized and unsignalized intersections. Control delay as defined by the HCM includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay. As shown in Table 3, an average control delay of 4 seconds at a signalized intersection results in a LOS D operation. TABLE 3 HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL - LEVELS OF SERVICE AND DELAY UNSIGLIZED INTERSECTION AVERAGE CONTROL LEVEL DELAY OF SERVICE PER VEHICLE A B C D E F (SECONDS) -1 1-15 15-25 25-35 35-5 >5 SIGLIZED INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE A B C D E F AVERAGE CONTROL DELAY PER VEHICLE (SECONDS) -1 1-2 2-35 35-55 55-8 >8 5.3. Mitigation Guidelines NCDOT has guidelines for determining when improvements may be needed by the developer. The District Engineer is responsible for the final determination of the improvements. NCDOT typically requires mitigation to be identified when developments are expected to impact the traffic operations as described below: Overall intersection or intersection approach delay increases by 25% or more. LOS degrades by at least one level LOS is F Synchro 95 th or SimTraffic maximum queue results are greater than the existing turn lane storage length 1

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study 5.4. Capacity and Level of Service at Study Intersections 5.4.1. Davidson-Concord Road and Concord Road / East Rocky River Road The intersection of Davidson-Concord Road and Concord Road was analyzed as a three-leg roundabout with existing lane configurations. Table 4 summarizes the capacity analysis results. Refer to Appendix C for the Sidra reports for this intersection. All SimTraffic reports can be found in Appendix O. Analysis indicates that the intersection will operate at an acceptable LOS in the 218 Build scenario. The addition of site traffic is expected to have a minor effect on the operation of the intersection. Minimal increases in delay and queues are expected. SimTraffic results show no queuing issues at the intersection. No improvements are recommended.

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study 5.4.2. Davidson-Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive The intersection of Davidson-Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive was analyzed as a four-leg unsignalized intersection with existing lane configurations. Table 5 summarizes the capacity analysis results. Refer to Appendix D for the Synchro reports and NCDOT turn warrants for this intersection. All SimTraffic reports can be found in Appendix O. Analysis indicates that the intersection will exceed the threshold for mitigation in the 218 Build scenario. The addition of site traffic is expected to increase the delays on the eastbound approach. In order to mitigate the impacts caused by the addition of the site traffic, it is recommended that a southbound right turn lane with 125 feet of full storage and adequate tapper be constructed at the intersection. Additional analysis intersection was performed using a roundabout as the traffic control at the intersection per discussions with the Town of Davidson. Analysis results that the single lane roundabout will operate efficiently under future build conditions. With a constant growth rate of 2%, the roundabout will operate effectively for 19 years before reaching capacity. Although the construction of a roundabout would accommodate future traffic needs, the conversion of this intersection to a roundabout is not recommended due to the high cost of construction, impact to neighboring properties, and the fact that no significant queues are expected at this intersection under build conditions as an unsignalized intersection. 12

WestBranch Residential Development Traffic Impact Study 6. CONCLUSIONS This report summarizes the findings of the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that was performed for the proposed West Branch Residential Development to be located along the west side of Davidson Concord Road south of Concord Road in Davidson, North Carolina. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential impact to the surrounding transportation system caused by the traffic generated by the proposed development. The proposed site includes 199 detached houses and 17 townhomes. The project is expected to be completed by 218. Access to the site is anticipated via a proposed full access driveway on Davidson Concord Road and four proposed full access driveways on Robert Walker Drive. 6.1. Summary of Recommended Improvements Based on the analysis results, minor impacts are expected by the proposed development. No queue issues are expected. Refer to Figure 9 for the recommended lane configurations. The following improvements have been recommended to be constructed by the developer: Davidson-Concord Road and Robert Walker Drive Construct a southbound right turn lane on Davidson-Concord Road with 125 of full width storage and appropriate taper. Davidson-Concord Road and Site Drive 1 Construct Site Drive 1 as a full access driveway with one ingress and one egress lane on the eastbound approach. Robert Walker Drive and Site Drive 2 Construct Site Drive 2 as a full access driveway with one ingress and one egress lane on the southbound approach. 24
