O. Box 396 Stuart, Florida 33495 Subject: Saint Sebastian DRI Dear Mr. Muise: The following paragraphs contain assumptions and methodologies that we propose to use as the basis for addressing Question 31 -- Public Transportation Facilities of the Application for the Development Approval for the Sebastian Group Project. The assumptions and methodologies presented herein are preliminary in nature and are subject to modification if necessary as a result of subsequent analysis. Evaluation of the transportation impacts of this project is underway so any comments regarding these assumptions would be appreciated as soon as possible. Project Description The project is to be located in indian River County in the City of Sebastian. The project site is located just north of Fleming/Main Street, east of the airport and west of U.S. 1. This site encompasses approximately 312 ~ acres. - 5151 Adanson Street, Suite ~201 Orlando, Florida 321~04 305/~S29-57S4 The project applicant, the Sebastian Group., has proposed to construct a multi-use residential community. This project as proposed will consist of 1,434 housing units of four basic types: multi-family, townhouse, patio-cluster homes, and single family. Other land uses will include Commercial (18 acres), Professional Office (5 acres), and open space, lakes and recreation (98 acres). It is anticipated that this development will be constructed in three phases. Access to the site as proposed will consist of two entrances onto Fleming/Main Street and one at Davis (gth) Street~ The Davis (gth) Street access will necessitate crossing the Florida East Coast Railway. Negotiations are. presently ongoing with the Florida Department of Transportation and the Florida East Coast Railway. It is proposed that this analysis be performed assuming the railroad crossing and access at Davis (gth) Street are approved. If, at a later date, this crossing is not approved, a revision to Question 31, if deemed necessary, can be submitted which will addzess'the impacts of elimination of this access point and/or other alternative access points. Primary Impact Area A suitable primary impact area boundary has been developed to include arterial roadways that are likely to be impacted by this project. Preliminary analysis of the study area indicates that most of the traffic impacts will occur on Fleming/Main Street and U.S. 1. Other roadways that are -2- expected to experience lesser impacts include Easy Street and C.R. 512. A primary.impact area boundary has been developed to include the area bounded by U.S. 1, C.R. 505, and C.R. 512 and is shown in Figure 1. A review of existing traffic data for this area reveals the P.M. peak hour to be the peak traffic condition. A capacity analysis during the P.M. peak hour will be performed on the critical links within the study area. These links include Fleming/Main Street east of the project site, Easy Street, U.S.. 1 northeast and southeast of the site, and C.R. 512 south of the site. Critical movement analysis for the P.M. peak hour will be performed at critical intersections within the impact area and at major entrances to the project. These critical locations are listed below and shown in Figure 1. Fleming Street/Easy Street/Entrance Rd. Fleming/Main Street/Entrance Rd. (east) Main Street/U.S. 1 U.S. 1/Davis (9th) St. U.S. 1/C.R. 505 C.R. 505/C.R. 512 Easy St./C.R. 512 C.R. 512/U.S. 1 (west) Evaluation of Existing Roadway Network Twenty-four hour machine counts on arterial links and manual turning movement counts at critical intersections have been collected from the Florida Department of Transportation, -3- indian River County and past studies. ESE will supplement any turn movement counts with additional data collection where necessary. Peak hour traffic volumes for. critical links and intersections within the primary impact area for the base year (1983) will be derived from the data provided. The evaluation of the existing roadway network will be accomplished by comparing available peak hour volumes for critical links identified in Figure 1 to accepted capacities for arterials and collector roadways. Critical movement analysis for existing intersections identified in Figure 1 will be performed using the methodology presented in Transportation Research Circular 212. Planned Or Programmed Transporation Improvements Planned or programmed transportation improvements within the study area will be determined through discussion with Indian River County, the Florida DePartment of Transportation and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council staff. Traffic Generation -- Traffic Estimates of ambient traffic levels will be developed for each phase and to account for factors that influence growth in traffic volumes within the primary impact area exclusive of this project. Projected background traffic exclusive of this project will be analyzed in three parts: (1) growth in existing traffic; (2) other major developments either planned or currently underway; and (3) other traffic already within -4- the primary impact area which will have either an origin or destination at the Prmject (passer-by/diverted trips). A grOwth rate for background traffic of 3.5%/year has been derived based on a review of historical growth trends on U.S. 1 in Sebastian. This results in growth factors of 1.11 for 1986 (Phase 1), 1.19 for 1988 (Phase 2), and 1.27 in 199'0 (Phase 3). No other major developments, either planned or currently underway, have been identified that would generate traffic significant enough to be included in the background traffic vol umes. Consideration was also given to traffic already within the study area which may utilize the commercial and office facilities of this project. These vehicles are referred to as "passer-by/diverted" motorists. Based on previous research by ITE, it can be expected that approximately 25 percent of the traffic on Fleming/Main Street will be diverted to the site. Additional trips on U.S. 1 can also be expected to be diverted to the site. Staging of Project The project is proposed to be developed in three phases. The magnitude, specific land uses, and target year for each phase is required for the DRI traffic analysis. Table 1 summarizes the land use assumptions by phase which will be utilized. -5- Trip Generation Th'is Project Trip generation will be based on the proposed land uses on the site. Trip generation rates have been obtained from the Trip Generation Report prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and NCHRP Report 187 Ouick ]~ ~ ~ ~ ~9~l~/~ and Transferable Parameters. The P.M. peak hour (4-6 P.M.) will be studied as the worst case condition. Peak hour factors of from 10% to 17.9% and directional splits ranging from 20/80 to 60/40 are recommended. A summary of the assumptions proposed to .be used in the trip generation analysis are shown in Table 2. For the purpose of this analysis, it will be assumed that transit useage will be insignificant and that 100% of the trips generated will be by private automobile. Internal/External Split This Project will be comprised of a number of inter-related land uses such as residential, commercial and recreational. As a result of these land uses, it is anticipated that a .number of on-site generated trips will have on-site destinations. To establish the internal/external travel split, it is necessary to disaggregate, by trip purpose, the percentage of trips made for residential land uses. Estimates of the percentage of internal trips by purpose were also made. These -6- breakdowns are based on NCHRP Report 187 and upon previous studies. , The result is a composite internal/external split by residential class. This split will be used to determine the number of trips made and the ability of on-site attractions to capture a portion of these trips. Similar estimates were made for non-residential land uses. These are shown below: Single Family Residential Multi-Family Residential Multi-Family Cluster 2O% 8O% 20% 80% 20% 80% Commercial 16% 84% Office 16% 84% Analysis indicates that the commercial and office facilities will account for the internal attraction of the residential land uses of approximately 20% for each of the three residential land use types. The resulting vehicle trip splits for daily and peak hour generation are presented in Table 3 using the assumptions discussed in this and the preceding section. Trip Distribution Distribution of trips with an origin or destination at the project will be accomplished by the Quick Response Technique and review of previous studies. Trip distribution will require examination of population, employment and dwelling unit forecasts within 8-10 miles in all directions. Other -7- inputs which will influence the distribution pattern Such as large generators or ~ttractors outside the study and the adjacent roadway pattern will be considered. Because of the difference in trip characteristics for specific land uses, separate distributions for residential and commercial land uses will be included. A preliminary analysis reveals the following distributions: TABLE 4 Trip Distribution 1. From southwest 2. From south 3. From northeast 4. From east Total Daily Pk./Hr. Residential ~ 5% 20% 20% 40% 4O% 2O% 100% 100% Traffic Assignment. Estimates of site generated daily traffic will be assigned by phase to the roadway network within the primary imPaCt area via the minimum time path method. Daily traffic assignments for the Proje=t will be converted to P.M. peak hour traffic based on the assumptions listed in Table 2. Existing and other projected traffic will also be shown. Target Year Analysis As previously discussed, capacity analysis will be performed for the critical intersections and links shown in Figure 1. This analysis will be performed for each phase of the development. -8- These capacity analyses will be based on ambient conditions plus site generated 6raffic. Included in the report will be tables which compare target year conditions without the project and target year conditions with the project. Also included will be a list of any proposed transportation needs as determined by traffic conditions. The preceding assumptions shall be used as the basis for analyzing the Saint Sebastian Project'. Upon concurrence/approval of these assumptions, ESE will complete analysis of the traffic impacts of the Saint Sebastian DRI Project as per the requirements of.the DRI. Letters will be sent to the Florida Department' of Transportation and Indian River County requesting information regarding transportation improvement projects planned and programmed within the study area.
