The parcel is located in the northwest quadrant of the Lemay/Oakridge intersection. All access is proposed from a north/south driveway on the east side of Steele's Market. The southern driveway is designated for two way traffic and the northern driveway is designated. as an exit only. These access will operate acceptably. In the, "Harmony Market Site Access Study," March 1989, the land use assum.edL for Harmony Market was a shopping center. The quick Tube/car wash site is half of a larger parcel that contained a 24,000 square foot building. Assuming that .12,000 square feet of building can be allocated to the quick lube/car wash site, this would result in the trip generation indicated in Table 1, using the rates from the site access study. Table 2 shows the expected trip generation from the quick tube/car wash uses proposed onL this site. Comparing the trip generation, it is concluded that the "Harmony Market Site Access Study" reflects the trips generated by the proposed quick tube/car wash use. City staff raised a concern about the amount of stacking space for the car wash and the quick tube. A queuing analysis was performed for both uses. The highest peak hour trip generation shown in Table 2 was used as the demand in these analyses. These queuing analyses indicated the following: Quick Lube Average service time - 20 minutes Average wait time - 16 minutes Average number of vehicles waiting in each bay stack - 0.5 Car Wash Average wash time Average wait time Average number of bay stack - - 15 minutes - 45 minutes vehicles waiting in each 2.1 Review of the site plan indicates that there is adequate stacking space at each service and wash bay. ® 0 Table 1 Trip Generation for the Site Using the Rates from the Site Access Study Land Use 12 KSF Building Land Use Quick Lube - 3 bays Car Wash - 4 bays Total Daily Trips 650 A.M.
