RE: Traffic Estimate & Request for Waiver of Traffic Study Requirement, Lot 3 Block 18,
Baxter Meadows Subdivision, Phase 2A
Dear Engineer,
Proposed construction on Lot 4, Block 18 of Baxter Meadows Subdivision includes one structure
containing 3,058 square feet of ground floor commercial/office space and 1, 3-bedroom apartment
and 2, 1-bedroom apartments on the second level. The commercial component fits the definition
of General Office Building (ITE Land Use Code 710) and the residential component fits the
definition of Mid-Rise Residential w/ 1st Floor Commercial (ITE Land Use Code 231).
The 10t" Generation ITE Trip Generation Manual recommends usage of an average daily rate of
9.74 trips per 1,000 square foot and a peak PM hourly trip generation factor of 1.15 trips per 1,000
square feet for the ground floor space. This equates to an average daily trip generation of 30
trips and a peak PM hour trip generation of 4 trips for the ground floor space. The ITE Trip
Generation Manual also recommends an average daily rate of 3.44 trips per dwelling unit and a
peak PM hourly trip generation factor of 0.36 trips per dwelling unit for the second-floor residential
space. This equates to an average daily trip generation of 10 trips and a peak PM hour trip
generation of 1 trip for the second-floor residential space. The total anticipated average daily
trips is 40 trips per day and 5 pm peak hour trips.
Given the limited size of this project and proposed use consistent with that which was
contemplated with the original subdivision we feel it is appropriate to request a waiver from the
requirement of a Traffic Impact Analysis for this project.
If you need any further information related to this waiver request, please don't hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
01
