right-of-way, that should leave a 19ft+ area to accommodate these items; however, there 094 is no way to verify what is where until the traffic lane is designed and the existing conditions surveyed. The developer would bear the burden of the construction of the turn - lane, including any relocation of existing utilities. The project civil engineer would need to provide a cost estimate for the turn lane, which per NCDOT typically cost around $75,000.00. At the prior board meeting, the project designer (Joseph Klimek, Architect) verbally indicated that Phase 1 of this project has the potential for 5 employees and 44 players, with perhaps a total of approximately 70 people including spectators. The exact number of vehicle trips per day that this project would create for each phase or upon full build out is undetermined. It is possible that a Traffic Impact Analysis would be able to provide this information, but this is type of study is required by NCDOT when warranted, not by the UDO. • Airport Road (SRI 213) Information: Airport Road is an unlined short dead end road off of Tramway Road with a 60ft right- of-way width and a 20ft ± pavement width. NCDOT maintains approximately 0. 13 miles of the road per a 2011 NCDOT Road Maintenance Unit — Mapping Section map on file with our department. Any development proposed beyond the NCDOT maintained area may require a roadway extension for which the developer would bear the burden of the construction. Per the TRC review comments, NCDOT is not requiring improvements to Airport Road for this project. • Accident Reports: The board was interested in any data for accidents in this area. NCDOT requested the accident data from the Raleigh office and it is attached to this memo for your reference. The NCDOT Traffic Engineering Accident Analysis System Strip Analysis Report contains information from June 1, 2011 to May 31, 2016 for the section of NC 78/Tramway Road from Hickory House Road (SRI 157) to Lemon Springs Road (SRI 001). The Summary Statistics on pages 15-19 of the accident report summarize the information contained in the Report Details on pages 1-14, so you may want to reference this information first. There is a Legend on page 14 of the accident report which helps explain the information contained with the Report Details. In summary, staff has requested vehicle traffic counts from NCDOT during the active school year since this will provide the most accurate information regarding the high volume of traffic in this area and traffic concerns appear to be an ongoing matter for the residents of this area, even if the soccer field complex is not developed. Therefore, this study will have to be done in September or October and staff will forward this information to the boards upon receipt. At this time the board may choose to continue to table this item until you feel that you have sufficient information to allow you to make a decision regarding the rezoning request, or you may choose to approve the rezoning request with/without conditions (with a conditional zoning request, the conditions must be accepted by the applicant), or you may choose to deny the rezoning request along with the rationale for doing so.
