These should be located to provide access at a location that could be used as access to the property on the eastern side of the proposed alignment. The Westside Bypass will eventually connect US29 and Weddington Rd. This is -- expected to reduce traffic on Weddington Rd. as employees come from/to Charlotte. It also has implications for traffic volumes on US29. It should also be noted that there are plans for major residential developments planned for both the east and west parcels adjoining the Propst property. These subdivisions will also impact the traffic patterns and volumes of the road network. CONCLUSIONS: The Department of Transportation will impose their minimum design standards on the road system serving the Propst property which will be determined after DOT reviews the final plan. In addition to what will be specified by DOT, it is recommended that attention be given to the issues presented herein. The revised development plan still warrants the original road improvement recommendations made previously. It is strongly urged that the industrial activity be oriented to US29 in order to encourage industrial vehicle movement to utilize that facility and to discourage it away from Weddington Rd. A summary of the road improvements concurrent or prior to development follows: 1) ~,) 3) 4) 5) Constr6ct Right and Left turn lanes from US29 to Concord Farms Rd. Provide additional 10' ROW along Weddington Road for third lane and -- turning lanes. Access to the residential parcels from Weddington Road should be limited to the extension of Concord Farms Road and one additional access on the north side. Widen, straighten and resurface Concord Farms Road to meet NCDOT standards. Orient all I-1/SU traffic to US29
