RE: Springbrook P.U.D. Preliminary Traffic Study
Dear Rick:
The proposed Springbrook P.U.D. is located in the Northwest 14 of Section
27, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the Sixth P.M. There will be
24 single family units developed on the site. Traffic outlet from our
site will be on West Drake Road about 1300 feet east of South Taft Hill
Road. Assuming 10 daily trips per unit this generates 240 trips per
day to Drake Road from our proposed development.
Since there is not a master street plan for the property between Taft
Hill Road and Springbrook Lane and between Drake Road and Hull Street,
I made a plan to help determine the future traffic flow for this area.
From the plan we designed there can be about 40 single family lots in
this area. Assuming that 60Z of the 10 trips per day will use the
Springbrook Lane to Drake Road route, this would generate about 240 trips
per day. Combine this count with our traffic produces about 480 trips
per day at Drake Road and Springbrook Lane.
I would also like to request a variance from the 150 foot curb to curb
requirement at an intersection to a arterial street. Our project will
have 139 feet curb to curb. I had to design our street, Springbrook
Court further north due to the existing floodway location of Spring Creek.
The loss of eleven feet will only reduce the stacking by one car. With
only 480 trips per day at this intersection, the one car loss should
never be a problem. Also being a tee intersection at Springbrook Court
and Springbrook Lane further reduces the effect of being one car short.
I have included a map showing our proposed street layout for this area.
If you have any questions or need any more information regarding this
project, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Franklin D. Blake, P. E. & L.S.
