RE: Traffic Impact Evaluation
518 Shelburne Road, South Burlington
FILE: 85045
Dear Mr. Stern:
At your request, He have analyzed the potential traffic impacts of the
conversion of a portion of the above referenced building from use as a
furniture store to a six -store specialty retail center. This evaluation
focuses primarly on the impact of additional traffic generated by this
Project on adjacent street traffic. Internal traffic circulation and
parking, as shown on a plan entitled "Site Plan/Parking Layout, 518
Shelburne Road, South Burlington, Vt. ", by Michael Dugan, A. I. A. , dated
February 21, 1984, are not evaluated, in detail, herein.
Information regarding traffic volumes on streets and intersections
adjacent to this Project Here obtained from a recent traffic impact
evaluation prepared by FitzPatrick-Llewellyn Incorporated for a proposed
residential project (South MeadoR) on a nearby parcel located west of
Shelburne Road in the City of Burlington. That evaluation included an
analysis of existing and future traffic conditions at the Shelburne
Road/Home Avenue intersection, Rhich also serves as the primary access
point for traffic generated by this project. Background information
concerning existing traffic conditions was also obtained from a report
entitled "Traffic Impact Analysis for South Burlington Factory Outlet
Center, Shelburne Road, South Burlington, Vermont", by Trans/Op, Inc.,
dated April 1982.
Traffic count data from these two reports were used to develop design
hourly volumes (DHV) on adjacent streets and intersections. The DHV is
defined as the 30th highest hourly traffic volume which occurs on an
annual basis, and is used as a design parameter in the design of highways
and traffic control systems. This volume typically occurs on a weekday
during the P.M. peak hour from 4: 00 to 5: 00 p.m.
Once the DHV's and corresponding turning movement volumes at intersections
were determined, it Ras necessary to estimate the volumes and directional

patterns of the additional vehicular traffic which this Project Will
generate.
The major determinant of vehicular traffic generation is the type and size
of proposed land use. An estimate of the additional traffic volumes which
this project will generate Has developed through the use of trip
generation rates from the "ITE Informational Report, Trip Generation, 3rd
Edition". This report outlines the results of trip generation studies for
"average weekdays" and periods of peak traffic volumes. The land use
catgories used Here "Specialty Retail Center" and Furniture Store". Table
1, below, outlines the projected additional vehicular trip volumes which
Hill be generated by this Project.

Adjacent Street Traffic
The directional distribution of traffic entering and exiting this Project
during the P.M. peak hour of adjacent street traffic Has estimated from
existing turning movement patterns at the Shelburne Road/Home Avenue
intersection. Since this intersection is directly in front of the
Project, it was estimated, for purposes of determining potential traffic
impacts, that all additional traffic generated by this Project mould enter
and exit via this intersection. In actuality, this most likely mill not
occur, as several other routes are available to access Shelburne Road. via
the main entrance/exit of the Factory Outlet Center, and via Bacon Street.
Existing and future traffic conditions, both without this Project (but
including the South Meadow residential development traffic) and mith this
project Here determined by performing intersection capacity analysis. The
methodology used to determine intersection capacity, and corresponding
levels of service, Has that which is presented in "Transportation Research
Circular, Interim_Materials_on_HighMgy_Caeacity, Number 212, January 1980,
for signalized intersections.
Table 2, on the folloming page, presents the results of the intersection
capacity analyses.

Urban streets and intersections are generally designed to maintain Level
of Service (L.O.S.) C to D during DHV conditions. These levels of service
have been defined to represent reasonable ranges in the degree of loading,
resulting vehicular delays, and average travel speeds on streets and
intersections. L.O.S. A represents very low traffic loading with ample
reserve capacity and no vehicular delays, whereas L.O.S. E represents a
street or intersection operating at capacity, thereby causing very long
delays and queues.
Level of Service C, which the Shelburne Road/Home Avenue intersection is
projected to operate at during existing (1985) DHV conditions, is typified
by average delays and queues. During future (1990) DHV conditions, the
projected level of service will deteriorate, primarily because of
increased traffic volumes on Shelburne Road and Home Avenue, to L.O.S. D,
which is typified by long delays. Appendices A-D outline the calculations
involved in performing the intersection capacity analyses.
The results of these analyses indicate that this Project will not
significantly impact upon existing or future traffic flow conditions on
Shelburne Road.
An examination of the requirements of the City of South Burlington Zoning
Regulations, particularly with respect to the requirements of the Traffic
Overlay District, was also performed. This Project is located within Zone
1, which allows a maximum of 15 vehicular trip ends during the peak hour
per 40,000 sq. ft. of lot size. Kith a reported Project parcel size of
126,000 sq. ft., the maximum allowed trip generation volume equals 47
trips ends per hour.
Obviously, the projected additional traffic volumes generated by this
Project will exceed the permitted trip generation. He believe, however,
that this Project may qualify for a waiver as provided by Section 17.50 of
-7.
the Zoning Regulations due to several factors:

A) This Project is located immediately adjacant to the South
Burlington Factory Outlet Center and other businesses. All share
the same internal traffic circulation network and access points to
adjacent streets.
B) Internal traffic circulation will be improved through the
installation of traffic control islands to segregate parking areas
from designated vehicular travel paths.
C) Existing (1985) DHV traffic conditions at the primary access point
of this Project (Shelburne Road/Home Avenue intersection) Hill
remain at L. 0. S. C after completion of this Project.
D) Future (1990) DHV traffic conditions are projected to deteriorate
to L.O.S. D. Planned roadway and traffic control improvements
(i.e. construction of the Southern Connector, modifications to
Shelburne Road, and associated replacement of existing signal
systems from Home Avenue south) are anticipated to be completed by
this date, thereby improving traffic flow conditions to L.O.S. C or
better on Shelburne Road in the immediate vicinity of this project.
In summary, additional traffic generated by the proposed conversion of a
portion of the existing building at 518 Shelburne Road to a specialty
retail center Hill not significantly impact upon existing or future
traffic conditions. A waiver of the requirements of the Traffic Overlay
District Hill be required, however, to allow the or000sed use.
He wish to thank you for this opportunity to be of service. Should you
have any questions concerning this report and its conclusions, or if we
may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
