Regular Agenda Item #7 Edelweiss Ridge (Bald Prairie 1-2) Cursory Traffic Impact Analysis Analysis based on 21 Lots of Single Family Detached Housing Utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Report (see attachment for ITE independent variable assumptions) Using the trips per dwelling unit assumption, (recommended practice as per ITE Report) 21 lots x'10.8 vehicles per day (vpd) = 226.8 vpd 21 lots x 1.01 vehicles per the peak hour (vph) = 21.21 vph A residential roadway (local road) has a capacity of 2000 vpd In regard to level of service (LOS) with a scale of A thru F with A being the best and F the worst and using the ratio of volume to capacity, LOS A = 333 vpd, LOS B = 666 vpd, LOS C = 999 vpd, LOS D = 1332 vpd, LOS E = 1665 vpd, LOS F = 2000 vpd Assuming all trips would be utilizing Rene Lane to ingress and egress (actually there would be two avenues of ingress and egress in this development) the LOS is still within acceptable LOS of between A & B with the acceptable LOS standard being LOS D. If we make the assumption of four vehicles per household and using the ITE trip generation rate for single family detached house based on vehicles per household (assumption not recommended by ITE see attachment) the analysis results are as follows: 21 lots x 4 vehicles x 6.55,vpd = 550 vpd 21 lots x 4 vehicles x.76 vph = 64 vph The results are LOS B with the acceptable LOS standard being LOS D. Additional information Barron Rd widening to 4 lanes with raised median and classified as a minor arterial has a capacity of 30,000 vpd according to the BryanlCollege Station Unified Design Guidelines. The raised median would restrict left turns in and out of Rene Lane to Barron Rd lowering the volumes on Renee Lane even more and not taken into account in analysis above. Victoria Avenue classified as a major collector has a capacity of 10,000 vpd, again according to the BryanlCollege Station Unified Design Guidelines.
