Re: Traffic Impact Analysis for Bridgewood Subdivision and Barron Crossing
MBESI No. 10530014 & 10530027
Dear Teresa:
This letter is intended to provide information to you regarding the proposed traffic conditions for the
above referenced developments between William D. Fitch Parkway (S.H. 40) and future W.S. Phillips
Parkway just south of Barron Road in College Station. This property will be separated into three
distinct sites that each have separate access to William D. Fitch Parkway and the future W.S. Phillips
Parkway. Since each site will have separate access points onto William D. Fitch Parkway and the
future W.S. Phillips Parkway, each site will be considered as an independent site. According to the
City of College Station's Unified Development Ordinance Section 7.13, if a site generates less than
150 trips during the peak hour a traffic impact analysis is not warranted.
The first site will be Bridgewood Subdivision, a proposed residential development. This area will be
developed into single-family detached residential lots. The lots will occupy approximately 50.7 acres.
According to the Trip Generation Report; 8th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers, the highest average peak hour trip rate is 2.74 trips/acre and occurs during the week
between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Therefore, this property will only generate 139 trips during the peak
hour. Based on this information, I conclude that a traffic impact analysis is not warranted for the
Bridgewood Subdivision.
The second and third sites will be within the Barron Crossing subdivision. Site 1 will have a maximum
buildable square footage of approximately 78,000 square feet. Site 2 will have a maximum buildable
square footage of approximately 47,000 square feet. Both sites will be developed as suburban
commercial sites. Suburban commercial is similar to A-P and C-3 zoning, which according to Table 2
— Trip Generation: Non -Residential Uses located in Section 7.13 of the UDO, has a the maximum
peak hourly trip rate of 1.55 trips per ksf. Therefore, Site 1 and Site 2 will generate 121 and 74 trips
during the peak hour, respectively. Based on this information, I conclude that a traffic impact analysis
is not warranted for either Site 1 or Site 2 at this time.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
J Dale Browne, Jr., P7CkFM
