J. Project Conditions Site traffic is the traffic that will be generated by the proposed development. Trip generation rates shall be based on trip generation methodology in the latest version of the "Trip Generation Manual" by the ITE. When approved by the District Engineer, available local infonnation may be substituted with appropriate documentation. The District Engineer may coordinate the analysis of the site trip generation with the Division Traffic Engineer. Trip generation reduction factors, such as pass-by traffic and internal capture, shall be justified. Total traffic is to be re-calculated after site traffic is generated. All trip generation calculations and supporting documentation shall be included in the report appendix. Project traffic analysis shall include any roadway network improvements that wil\.be in place by the project build-out year, or stage in development, if appropriate. Any improvements planned by others shall be identified as such and documentation describing the improvements, the entity that is to implement the improvements, and the schedule for such improvements, shall be provided. K. Roadway Network Improvements The applicant shall be required to identify mitigation improvements to the roadway network if.at least one of the following conditions exists when comparing base network conditions to project conditions: . The total average delay at an intersection or individual approach increases by 25% or greater; . The Level of Service (LOS) degrades by at least one level; Or the Level of Service (LOS) is an "F." For turning lanes, mitigation improvements shall be identified when the analysis indicates that the 95th percentile queue exceeds the storage capacity of the existing lane. The District Engineer will be responsible for final determination of mitigation improvements required to be constructed by the applicant. L. ConclusionslRecommendations This section of the TIA shall sunnoarize the findings of the analysis, identify all potential intersections or roadway segments that will be at an unacceptable level of service as identified in Section J, and shall identify all proposed improvements to mitigate potential problems. This includes a description of all ofthe improvements that the developer shall construct (or fund) as part of the development proposal. Improvements to roadway segments and intersections not innoediately adjacent to the project site may be required if significant traffic impacts are identified. M. Supporting Information The applicant shall provide all supporting infonnation to the District Engineer and Cabarrus County. This infonnation may include but is not limited to the following: . traffic volumes; . analysis reports; . signal warrant analysis; . documentation of approved developments or proposed roadway improvements by others; . and analysis data and output. In lieu of printed pages, electronic copies of supporting data may be submitted. The submitted infonnation may include data from traffic analysis, traffic volume, or signal warrant analysis software packages. If . submitted, both input data and output reports shall be included. Data files should be named to facilitate identification of the contents. All plans may be submitted electronically, with the exception that a copy of the proposed site plan must be printed and included with the application. If so provided, the plans must be in a format approved by the District Engineer and Cabarrus County. N Final Submittal information Once the TIA is approved by NCDOT and Cabarrus County, one (1) electronic copy of the entire TIA on CD and one (1) paper copy of the TIA shall be submitted to the Cabanus County Planning Department for the project file. f-I(a-) Page 4 of6
