1.0 SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS
The proposed Larkin Terrace development is located in South Burlington, Vermont on the
southwest corner of US-7 and Fayette Road. The development will replace an existing 61-unit
apartment-style hotel and will create 60 new apartments and 20,250 square feet of commercial space.
Because this study must model specific land uses and cannot model general commercial space, we
have assumed the 20,250 square feet of commercial space to be a 3,250-square foot restaurant, and
17,000 square feet of retail space. Vehicular traffic will access the site from Fayette Road
approximately 200 feet west of its intersection with US-7.
Key project findings include:
TRIP GENERATION
After accounting for internal trip capture and transportation demand management, we
project the proposed development will generate an additional 40 PM peak hour trip ends
compared to the existing vehicle trip generation at the site driveway and a net of 32 new PM
peak hour trips on the surrounding roads network after accounting for pass-by trips.
CONGESTION ANALYSIS
Traffic along Fayette Road will continue to experience minimal delays (LOS A) with and
without the project. Access driveways for both the development site and the existing plaza
across the street (7 Fayette Road) will maintain Level of Service B. Delays at the intersection
of US-7, Fayette Road, and McIntosh Avenue are projected to remain virtually unchanged
with the US-7 main line operating at LOS A and the side streets operating at LOS D both
with and without the development.
PUD AND REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
The project will operate within the parking and trip end limits of the PUD and below the
trip threshold of the South Burlington Traffic Overlay District.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This study evaluates the traffic and related infrastructure impacts associated with the proposed
Larkin Terrace project on Fayette Road in South Burlington, Vermont. The site currently contains a
61-unit “all suites” hotel. This building will be removed and replaced with a mixed-use building that
will contain 60 apartments (50 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom), and 20,250 square feet of
commercial space. Because this study must model specific land uses and cannot model general
commercial space, we have assumed the 20,250 square feet of commercial space to be a 3,250-square
foot restaurant, and 17,000 square feet of retail space. As shown on the site plan below, the proposed
development will have one access point via an existing curb cut on Fayette Road approximately 200
feet west of the intersection with US-7.

State Design Standards,6 which are the generally accepted traffic analysis references relied upon by
traffic engineering professionals and VTrans for projects of this type in Vermont.
VTrans guidelines specify that a traffic study should be considered if the proposed development will
generate 75 or more peak hour trips. The geographic scope of the study should include the
immediate access points and those intersections or highway segments receiving 75 or more project-
generated peak hour trips.7 We project that the site driveway will not meet the 75 vehicles per hour
trip generation threshold. However, to provide a clearer picture of the traffic impacts of the
development, we study capacity and congestion impacts at the US-7/Fayette Road/McIntosh Drive
intersection as well as the site driveway.
The intersection of US-7/Fayette Road/McIntosh Avenue is part of a high crash location segment,
so we examine crashes at this intersection. We also examine the distribution of project related trips at
the site driveway and the US-7/Fayette Road/McIntosh Avenue intersection for permitting
purposes.
3.0 LOCAL TRAFFIC
The project site is located on Fayette Road. It is a two-lane, local road 40 feet wide at the site
driveway and posted at 25 miles per hour. It connects US-7 (Shelburne Road) to the east with
Hannafords Drive to the north. The road is unstriped until lane markings begin at the intersection
with US-7 and leading up to Hannafords Drive. Across from the project driveway is a plaza (7
Fayette Road) containing a bank (Citizens Bank), a fast food restaurant (McDonalds), an urgent care
facility (Concentra), a sit-down restaurant (Zen Gardens), a gym (Artemis Fitness), and a vacant store
front that had been a categorized as a tavern (formerly Tilt). The traffic volumes associated with 7
Fayette Road are discussed below. The project is part of the L&M Park planned unit development
(PUD) that includes 7 Fayette Road, a 1,000-seat cinema (Palace 9) and 210 residential units on Olde
Orchard Park to the west.
The section of US-7 proximate to Fayette Road is a five-lane roadway (two lanes in each direction
and a center left turn lane) with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour. In 2015, VTrans recorded
an annual average daily traffic volume (AADT) of 31,130 vehicles per day along US-7 at station
D577, approximately 0.4 miles south of the US-7/Fayette Road intersection. Count data collected by
VTrans in June of 2016 indicate the highest traffic volumes along US-7 occur during the weekday
PM peak hours. Traffic impacts during this period are examined in this study.
Since background traffic in the project area and trip generation is greater during the PM period than
in the AM peak period, operational findings for the PM peak hour will be the same or less favorable
than findings for the AM peak hour.

FIGURE 2: PROJECT LOCATION AND STUDY AREA INTERSECTIONS
This section of US-7 was the subject of the 2012 report “Shelburne Road Corridor Study” prepared
for the City of South Burlington and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission and
prepared by Parsons Brinkerhoff. This study found that level of service was generally good at the
US-7 intersections close to the project site. Our findings are similar to the findings in the 2012
report.
4.0 ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC VOLUMES
This analysis examines design hour vehicle delays and queues at the site driveway and projects trip
distribution at the following two intersections:
1. Site Driveway/Fayette Road
2. US-7/Fayette Road/McIntosh Avenue
Vehicle delays and queues are examined first with baseline, No Build scenario, traffic volumes,
which represent the anticipated design hour conditions in the target study years without the proposed
development in place.
Once baseline conditions are established, anticipated traffic associated with the proposed
development is added to the No Build scenario volumes to create Build scenario traffic volumes,

which are in turn used to project intersection delays and levels of service with the proposed
development in place.
A detailed description of the elements that contribute to the No Build and Build scenario traffic
volumes is presented below.
4.1 | BACKGROUND TRAFFIC V OLUMES AND ADJUSTMENTS
RSG obtained the most recent VTrans turning movement count data at the US-7/Fayette
Road/McIntosh Avenue intersection (counted on June 30, 2016). This count data was used to
establish background volumes at the site driveway. Trip Generation was used to establish turning
movements at the site driveway and at the 7 Fayette Road driveway across the street.
Following VTrans traffic study guidelines, raw peak hour traffic volumes were adjusted to represent
the design hour volume (DHV)8 in 2017 and 20229 using two adjustment factors:
1. Design hour adjustment factors are based on VTrans count station D577, which is located
along US-7 in South Burlington, VT, just south of the intersection with IDX Drive. The
2015 DHV at this station was compared to the peak hour volumes at the intersection of US-
7/Holmes Road/IDX Drive on the date of the turning movement count to formulate DHV
adjustments. This intersection is 0.3 miles south of the US-7/Fayette Road/McIntosh
Avenue intersection and both intersections were counted on the same day. DHV
adjustments decreased raw count volumes by 4%.
2. An annual adjustment factor representing general background traffic growth is based on
historic count data at VTrans count station D577. From 2010 to 2015, AADT changed from
29,300 to 31,130 vehicles per day, or 1% per year. An adjustment factor of 2% was applied
to the DHV adjusted counts to grow the traffic from 2015 to 2017. Traffic volumes on US-7
are expected to grow by 5% from the 2017 base year condition to the 2022 future year
condition.
4.2 | OTHER DEVELOPMENT VOLUMES
Other development volumes (ODVs) represent trips generated by anticipated developments in the
study area. Trips generated by ODVs are included in every scenario (both No Build and Build)
because we assume they are already present on the road network in the analysis years.
Through discussion with South Burlington Planning and Zoning staff, the following ODV was
identified for inclusion in this study:
• 65 apartments are planned along Green Mountain Drive, approximately 0.6 miles south of
the Fayette Road intersection with US-7. Per Trip Generation, this development is expected to
generate 40 trips in the PM Peak Hour. Based on the 2016 turning movements at the US-
7/Green Mountain Drive intersection, half of these trips travel through the US-7/Fayette
Road Intersection, and 2 trips from this development will pass by the project site driveway.
8 The DHV is the 30th highest hour of traffic for the year and is used as the design standard in Vermont.
9 VTrans requires analysis during the year project construction is expected to be complete and in a future year
scenario 5 years after project completion.

4.3 | TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation refers to the number of vehicle trips originating at or destined for a particular
development. Trip generation was used to determine the number of trips currently created by the
existing Larkin Terrace (61 apartment-style hotel rooms) as well as the rest of the PUD and the
traffic generated by the proposed Larkin Terrace development, which will consist of apartment
residents, retail store patrons, and restaurant patrons.
To estimate the number of new vehicle trips for the Larkin Terrace development, we examined trip
generation rates presented in the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation.10 Applying
trip generation rates for ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 220 (Apartment), LUC 826 (Specialty Retail
Center), and LUC 932 (High-Turnover (Sit-Down) Restaurant), we calculate the proposed land uses
will generate 115 vehicle trips ends during the PM peak hour before accounting for internal capture,
transportation demand management, and existing trips (see Figure 3).
This development consists of several different types of uses, allowing trips originating from one land
use to be destined for another land use within the development. For example, an apartment resident
may walk to the onsite retail stores, or a restaurant patron may go home to an apartment. These trips
are said to be captured internally and are not counted towards the number of trips generated by the
development on the adjacent transportation network. We used the NCHRP Report 684 Enhancing
Internal Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-Use Developments11 to calculate a 42% reduction in trips due to
internal capture (48 trips). Internal capture calculations are included in the Appendix.
External site generated traffic can be differentiated between primary and pass-by trips. While primary
trips represent people who leave their home, place of work, or other origin expressly to visit the site
and who would not otherwise have gotten into their vehicle to make a trip, pass-by trips represent
vehicles that currently pass by the site on the local road network and who, when the proposed
development is present, turn into the site on their way to another destination. Pass-by trips are
converted from through movements to turning movements to and from the site at the development
access points but do not add new trips to intersections beyond the site access. The percentage of
trips that are considered pass-by is based on Trip Generation.
Pass-by traffic is typically assumed to come from vehicles passing by the site on an immediately
adjacent roadway to which the site directly accesses. However, due to the relatively low volume of
through traffic along Fayette Road in the vicinity of the site and the relatively high volume of traffic
on US-7, we have assumed the pass-by portion of trip generation will come from US-7 through trips
at its intersection with Fayette Road. Due to the nature of the project, the percentage of pass-by trips
will vary by land use, and, according to Trip Generation, will be approximately 10% of site generated
external trips.
Transportation demand management (TDM) is the practice of reducing the number of trips during
peak hour travel times by providing alternative travel means (discussed in further detail later in this
10 Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation 9th Edition (Washington, D.C.: Institute of
Transportation Engineers, 2012).

Highway Research Program, 2011).

study). Physical TDM measures include being located near a bus stop with a shelter, having access to
and providing continuity of sidewalks and transit near building entrances, and providing
accommodations for bike storage on site (including both covered and uncovered bicycle parking
areas). These TDM accommodations can facilitate up to a 6% reduction in external vehicle trip
generation12 (the maximum allowed for only physical TDM measures).
The site currently contains a 61-room apartment style hotel which, according to Trip Generation,
currently generates 11 and 13 entering and exiting trips respectively during the PM peak hour. These
24 trips are subtracted from the development traffic to determine that the development will add 40
new trips to the surrounding road network, including 8 pass-by trips.
Figure 3 presents the projected trip generation, broken out into total trips, internal capture, primary
traffic, TDM reduction, and pass-by traffic.
FIGURE 3: TRIP GENERATION SUMMARY
Figure 4 presents a map of the estimated distribution of the net 40 new project-generated trips. Net
primary and pass-by trips entering and exiting the site access are distributed onto the roadway
network based on background traffic volumes. Twenty-four of the 64 trips are not included here
since the site already generates 24 trips.
As discussed above, the reduction in through traffic at the US-7 intersection is due to pass-by traffic
and corresponds with an increase in turns onto and off of Fayette Road as vehicles that previously
passed by the site divert into the site when the development is complete.

4.4 | EXISTING SITE TRAFFIC
The existing 61-unit apartment-style hotel generates 24 trips during the PM peak hour. This building
would be replaced by the proposed development. Traffic volumes estimated at the site driveway
intersection under No Build conditions include these 24 trips as well as trips coming from and going
to the plaza across Fayette Road. Due to a vacant unit, the total number of trips associated with the
plaza driveway were estimated from Trip Generation assuming full occupancy. Figure 5 shows trips
associated with these land uses. Building sizes were taken from the December 23, 2013 parking study
by conducted by Lamoureux and Dickinson on behalf of Jim Carroll and the permitting associated
with Tilt at 7 Fayette Road.

With the addition of project-generated traffic, volumes entering and exiting the project site increase
in the Build scenario and these trips are carried out through the US-7 intersection. The reduction in
through traffic at the US-7 intersection in the Build scenario is due to the increase in pass-by traffic
as described in the Trip Generation discussion above. These trips previously passed by Fayette Road
in the No Build scenario but turn into and out of the site once the project is in place.

5.0 CONGESTION ANALYSIS
5.1 | LEVEL-OF-SERVICE DEFINITION
Level-of-service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing the operating conditions as perceived by
motorists driving in a traffic stream. LOS is calculated using the procedures outlined in the 2000 and
2010 Highway Capacity Manuals.13 In addition to traffic volumes, key inputs include the number of
lanes at each intersection, traffic control type (signalized or unsignalized), and the traffic signal timing
plans.
13 The HCM 2010 does not provide methodologies for calculating intersection delays at certain intersection
types including signalized intersections with exclusive pedestrian phases and signalized intersections with non
NEMA-standard phasing. Because of these limitations, HCM 2000 methodologies are employed where
necessary.

The 2010 Highway Capacity Manual defines six qualitative grades to describe the level of service at
an intersection. Level-of-Service is based on the average control delay per vehicle. Figure 10 shows
the various LOS grades and descriptions for signalized and unsignalized intersections.
FIGURE 10: LEVEL-OF-SERVICE CRITERIA FOR SIGNALIZED AND UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS
UNSIGNALIZED SIGNALIZED
LOS CHARACTERISTICS TOTAL DELAY (SEC) TOTAL DELAY (SEC)
A Little or no delay ≤ 10.0 ≤ 10.0
B Short delays 10.1-15.0 10.1-20.0
C Average delays 15.1-25.0 20.1-35.0
D Long delays 25.1-35.0 35.1-55.0
E Very long delays 35.1-50.0 55.1-80.0
F Extreme delays > 50.0 > 80.0
The delay thresholds for LOS at signalized and unsignalized intersections differ because of the
driver’s expectations of the operating efficiency for the respective traffic control conditions.
According to HCM procedures, an overall LOS cannot be calculated for two-way stop-controlled
intersections because not all movements experience delay. In signalized and all-way stop-controlled
intersections, all movements experience delay and an overall LOS can be calculated.
The VTrans policy on level of service is:
• Overall LOS C should be maintained for state-maintained highways and other streets
accessing the state’s facilities
• Reduced LOS may be acceptable on a case-by-case basis when considering, at minimum,
current and future traffic volumes, delays, volume to capacity ratios, crash rates, and negative
impacts as a result of improvement necessary to achieve LOS C.
• LOS D should be maintained for side roads with volumes exceeding 100 vehicles/hour for a
single lane approach (150 vehicles/hour for a two-lane approach) at two-way stop-controlled
intersections.
Detailed Synchro LOS worksheets are available in the Appendix.
5.2 | LEVEL-OF-SERVICE RESULTS
The Highway Capacity Manual congestion reports within Synchro (v9), a traffic analysis software
package from Trafficware, routinely relied upon by transportation engineering professionals, were
used to assess traffic congestion at the site driveway.
During the weekday PM peak hour most approach delays in the study area are projected to remain
essentially unchanged with the addition of development volumes. At the site driveway on Fayette
Road, LOS is projected to remain at A in both 2017 and 2022. Delays at the project driveway and 7
Fayette are projected to remain at LOS B. Similarly, at the intersection of US-7 and Fayette Road, the
mainline (US-7) approaches are projected to remain at LOS A and side line approaches are projected
to remain at D. The only exception is the northbound left lane, which is projected to change from
LOS B to LOS C.

FIGURE 11: PM PEAK HOUR LOS RESULTS
6.0 QUEUING ANALYSIS
In addition to the congestion analysis, estimated average 95th percentile queues were evaluated using
SimTraffic.14 Queues at the Fayette Road/Project driveway intersection are projected to remain
virtually unchanged with the addition of project generated traffic (Figure 12). At the US-
7/Fayette/McIntosh intersection, queues do not change by more than on car length in 2017. In
2022, queues in the northbound left and through/right lanes are projected to increase by 2 and 6 car
lengths, respectively. The existing lanes are able to accommodate this increased queuing.
Detailed SimTraffic queuing worksheets are available in the Appendix.

difference in a few cars should not be seen as significant.

7.0 SAFETY ANALYSIS
7.1 | CRASH HISTORIES
VTrans maintains a statewide database of all reported crashes along all state highways and federal aid
road segments.15 Crash histories were collected from the VTrans Public Crash Data Query Tool16 for
the 5-year period associated with the most recent VTrans High Crash Location Report17 (January
2010-December 2014). Within this 5-year period, one crash occurred within design stopping sight
distance (155 feet at 25 miles per hour) of the site access point. This crash was from a left turn out of
the plaza driveway across from the site access.
The US-7/Fayette Road/McIntosh Avenue intersection is part of a designated VTrans High Crash
Location (HCL) segment, which means the actual crash rate observed over the past five years is
higher than comparable segments across the state with similar functional classification and traffic
levels. Since some traffic from this development will proceed through this intersection, we examined
crashes on US-7 within the stopping sight distance (250 feet at 35 miles per hour) of the intersection.
One injury and one fatality resulted from the 47 crashes at this intersection. This section is ranked
551 out of 647 sections (lower numbers are more severe).
As indicated in Figure 13, crashes in this area occur most frequently when there is more traffic on the
roads during the later half of the day. Crashes are more prevalent in the second half of the year
although there is no clear correlation between crashes and time of year (Figure 14). The five-year
trend does not show any significant change in crash rate over the past five years of available data
(Figure 15).

About half the crashes are rear end crashes, which suggests that congestion is the most likely factor
associated with crashes at this location (Figure 16).

FIGURE 16: CRASHES BY TYPE
The 2012 Parsons Brinkerhoff report on the US-7 corridor mentions high crash locations north of
the study area. It also found that many of the crashes in this area are rear end crashes, which are
associated with congestion. That report provided a number of recommendations for improving
safety including providing alternate routes that parallel US-7 and improving access management
along this section of US-7. Traffic from this project will use an existing road at a traffic signal, so it
will not exacerbate the access management issue. Overall, the congestion is a corridor-wide issue and
it will take a corridor-wide solution. Implementing the recommendations from the 2012 study will
help alleviate congestions on US-7 and make this a safer road.
7.2 | SIGHT DISTANCE OBSERVATIONS
As defined in the 2011 publication A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, from the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), sight distance is
the “the length of roadway ahead that is visible to the driver.”18 Sight distances of sufficient length
are necessary at all points along a roadway to ensure vehicles can safely stop or avoid colliding with
potential obstructions or other vehicles on the roadway.
Standard practice in assessing intersection safety and operations involves measuring two separate
sight distances – stopping sight distance and intersection sight distance. In this section, we
examine sight distances at the site driveway on Fayette Road.
Stopping sight distance is the visible distance along a roadway between an advancing motorist and
a potential obstacle in the roadway. It is measured from a point representing the approaching driver’s
eye and a point representing an obstacle in the roadway. Stopping sight distances of adequate length
are needed along all roadways, both at and away from intersections, so that drivers travelling at
design speeds can react to potential obstacles and safely brake to avoid collisions. Design minimum

Highways and Streets, Fifth Edition (Washington D.C.: American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials, 2011). Page 3-2.
Larkin Realty
Larkin Terrace Multi-Use Development Traffic Impact Study
16 August 2, 2017
stopping sight distances are calculated based on factors such as design speed, response times, and
grades as reported in the 2011 Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets.19
Intersection sight distance is the distance available along the major road travelled way
corresponding with the maximum visibility between an advancing motorist on the major road and an
entering motorist on an intersecting minor road. It is measured between a point representing the
advancing driver’s eye above the major road and the entering driver’s eye above the intersecting road.
The 2011 Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets states that the available intersection sight
distance should be at least equal to the required stopping sight distance along the major road, which
in this case equals 155 feet.
“Sight distance is also provided at intersections to allow the drivers of stopped vehicles a sufficient view of the
intersecting highway to decide when to enter the intersecting highway or to cross it. If the available sight
distance for an entering or crossing vehicle is at least equal to the appropriate stopping sight distance for the
major road, then drivers have sufficient sight distance to anticipate and avoid collisions.” 20
However, when possible it is desirable to have intersection sight distances that exceed the design
minimum stopping sight distances in order to offer improved operations, such that major road traffic
need not decelerate to accommodate entering traffic.
“However, in some cases a major-road vehicle may need to stop or slow to accommodate the maneuver by a
minor road vehicle. To enhance traffic operations, intersection sight distances that exceed stopping sight
distances are desirable along the major road.” 21
Based on the posted speed limit of 25 mph for Fayette Road, the design minimum stopping sight
distance and intersection sight distances is 155 feet and the ideal target intersection sight distance is
280 feet. On October 19, 2016, RSG staff observed sight distances at the site driveway and along
Fayette Road, and found both stopping and intersection sight distances to exceed these standards to
the south. The distance between the site driveway and Fayette Road’s intersection with US-7 to the
north is less than the intersection sight distance for vehicles turning right out of the site driveway,
and vehicles can see clear to the intersection.
8.0 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT
Recent VTrans guidance22 defines Transportation Demand Management (TDM) as “a broad set of
strategies that strive to either reduce or reallocate automobile travel to achieve benefits such as
reduced roadway congestion, improved air quality, reduced energy use and greenhouse gas emissions,

Highways and Streets, Fifth Edition (Washington D.C.: American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials, 2011). Page 3-5.

reduced parking demand, improved public health for those biking or walking, and reduced
commuting and travel costs.” This guidance suggests several measures and combinations of measures
for TDM that help reduce trip generation from new developments. Specifically, these reductions are
applied to the expected trip rates computed from Trip Generation as a percentage.
Relevant measures proposed by the Larkin Terrace development fall into the Physical category, and
include:
- Project location in a mixed use urban area, and on a moderate service transit line (headways
of 30 minutes or less)
- A bus stop with a shelter within 600 ft. of the project entrance.
- Bicycle racks located conveniently on-site
- A site design with connections to adjacent sidewalks and transit stop(s)
Per the VTrans methodology, each measure has a percent trip reduction associated with it. The
aggregate for this development exceeds the maximum allowed of 6%; thus a 6% reduction was
applied.
9.0 PUD LIMITS: TRIP ENDS AND PARKING
The L&M Park PUD limits the number of vehicle trips ends (VTE) associated with the PUD and
allows for shared parking between the different uses in the PUD. This section demonstrates that the
proposed project will not exceed the restrictions associated with the PUD.
9.1 | VEHICLE TRIPS ENDS
Per the L&M PUD agreement, the number of VTE associated with the PUD is limited to 623 total
trips. Figure 17 shows 549 VTE will be associated with the proposed development and the other
existing land uses in the PUD. This number does not account for internal capture between different
land uses, only internal capture within Larkin Terrace Development. The VTE would be fewer if
internal capture were accounted for. These 549 VTE is below the 623 limit.
A May 6, 2008 study of the PUD by Clough Harbor & Associates found a significantly higher
number of VTE associated with the PUD. Since that time, the trip generation rate associated with
some of the land uses, LUC 912 (Drive-In Bank) in particular, has decreased, which resulted in an
overall lower number of VTE associated with the PUD.

FIGURE 17: PROPOSED VEHICLE TRIP ENDS IN PUD
9.2 | PUD PARKING
A 2013 parking study by Lamoureux and Dickenson determined that 490 parking spaces currently
exist within the limits of the PUD. The proposed project will remove 44 parking spaces as part of the
removal of the existing Larkin Terrace buildings and will install 148 new spaces (55 garage spaces and
93 surface spaces) as part of the new development. This represents a net increase of 104 spaces
within the PUD. The PUD-wide parking plan from the 2013 parking study and the projects’ site plan
showing parking are included in the Appendix.
The South Burlington 2016 Land Development Regulations (LDR) prescribe the minimum number
of parking spaces a land use is required to have available. In cases where multiples uses are present
and those uses will have different peak parking needs, they allow for shared parking. This study
examined parking demand at different times of day and different times of year23 to determined that
the overall peak parking demand for the PUD will occur 8-10 pm on a weekday between Christmas
Day and New Year’s Day (see Appendix for a matrix of shared parking demand calculations).
It was found that 646 parking spaces will be required at the peak time. After the improvements
associated with the Larkin Terrace Development, there will be 594 spaces available. A waiver of up
to 25% is available to the PUD, but only an 8% waiver will be required: (646-594)/646 = 8.1%.
10.0 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
The Larkin Terrace development is potentially subject to two separate Traffic Impact Fees from the
City of South Burlington and the State of Vermont via Act 145. The project also has trips that enter
an intersection within South Burlington’s Transportation Overlay District. This section provides
sufficient information to calculate relevant fees and demonstrates that the development is in
compliance with the current regulations.
23 Hourly and monthly adjustment factors were taken from the Urban Land Institute’s Sharked Parking, Second
Edition, 2005. Their methodology was used to calculate share parking demands.

10.1 | CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON ROAD IMPACT FEES
This City Impact Fee Ordinance levies a Road Improvement Impact Fee for residential
developments that increase the number of residential dwelling units or non-residential developments
that increase the number of PM peak hour trips. Figure 18 shows the number of new development
units and trips associated with the Larkin Terrace project. The number of dwelling units is the
number of new units (60) minus the number of existing units which will be removed (61), indicating
a net reduction in the number of dwelling units. The number of non-residential PM peak hour trips
includes reductions for internal capture and TDM measures by the following method. First, the total
non-residential trip generation is determined by summing the entering and exiting volumes generated
from the retail and restaurant uses as show in Figure 3 (78 trips). Next, internal capture reductions
(35 trip) are found by multiplying the entering and exiting volumes generated from the retail and
restaurant uses by their respective internal capture rates from the NCHRP report 684 worksheets
(see Appendix). Subtracting the internal capture reductions from the total trip generation yields 43
trips. Finally, these 43 trips are reduced by 6% to account for TDM measures to yield the 40 non-
residential PM peak hour trips.
FIGURE 18: ROAD IMPACT FEE INFORMATION
10.2 | CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON TRAFFIC OVERLAY DISTRICT
South Burlington restricts traffic from developments that used roadways within its Traffic Overlay
District. This parcel is in Traffic Overlay Zone 2C (access to a high-volume roadway via a public
roadway or a private driveway with a roundabout or a signalized intersection) and therefore has a
budget of 0.75 trips per 1,000 square feet (ksf)24. The PUD generates a total of 549 trips (Figure 17).
The project encompasses two property areas: the PUD (1,460 ksf) and 1195 Shelburne Road (95 ksf).
As shown in Figure 19, the project is limited to a maximum of 1,166 trips accessing the US-7/Fayette
Road intersection.
FIGURE 19: TRIP BUDGET SUMMARY
The 1,166-trip budget relates to the total number of trips generated by the site that accesses the high-
volume roadway regardless of existing trips. Therefore, existing trips are not considered. However,

not all of the 549 trips generated by the PUD access US-7, so not all of these should count against
the trip budget. Since the number of trips generated by the PUD (549) is significantly less than the
total trips allowed to access US-7 (1,166), it is clear that the PUD trip generation is less than the trips
budget allowed by this TOD, and it is not necessary to account for PUD trips that do not access US-
7.
10.3 | ACT 145 TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES
Act 145 requires new developments to pay part of the costs of VTrans funded transportation
improvements that their trips will impact. Although there are currently no VTrans funded
improvements in the project’s immediate vicinity, we understand VTrans’ policy is to look at the trip
distribution and determine if any trips may travel through a location of planned improvements. The
future development is expected to have 64 PM peak hour trips at the project driveway, but only 32
new trips to/from surrounding areas. Note that new pass-by trips (8) and existing trips (24) are not
included in this summary as they are not new to the surrounding road network. Figure 20
summarizes the distribution of these 32 new trips to/from areas beyond the project intersection.
This distribution is based on the turning movement counts at the project intersections.
FIGURE 20: DISTRIBUTION OF NEW TRIPS TO/FROM SURROUNDING AREAS
Discussions with VTrans indicate that two VTrans projects may receive new trips from this
development: the Burlington Roundabout to the north on US-7 and the Champlain Parkway to the
northwest. To determine trip distribution to these projects, we looked at available PM peak hour
turning movement counts between the project site and these two VTrans projects. Where turning
movement counts were not available, we examined trip generation of existing land uses. Existing
turning movements, a diagram of turning movements at major intersections, the resulting new trip

distribution, and trip generation data are included in the Appendix. The sizes of land uses are based
on aerial photography measured in Google Earth where the exact size was not available.
BURLINGTON ROUNDABOUT
We estimate that 3 PM peak hour trips originate from the north on US-7 and zero trips are destined
for the north on US-7. Background traffic at major intersections indicates that 1 of these 3 will come
from the I-189 offramp, and turning movements at other streets along US-7 indicate that another
trip will likely come from one of these side streets. This results in 1 PM peak hour trip traveling
through the Burlington Roundabout project.
CHAMPLAIN PARKWAY
We estimate that 9 PM peak hour trips originate from the northwest and 6 trips are destined for the
northwest in the vicinity of Pine Street. These trips connect to Pine Street via Fayette Road, the
Kmart shopping center plaza, and Queen City Park Road. Turning movement counts are not
available between Fayette Road and the Kmart Plaza, so trip generation for the existing land uses
(Palace 9, Olde Orchard Park, Lowe’s, and Hannaford) is used to provide a sense of traffic associated
with these land uses. Given the large number of trips generated by these land uses (841 in total), it
would be conservative to assume that 25% of traffic between Fayette Road and Queen City Park
Road is associated with these land uses. After removing these trips from the project’s new traffic
to/from this area, the remaining trips were distributed according to turning movement counts at
Queen City Park Road’s intersections with the Kmart plaza and Pine Street. It was found that 4 trips
originated on Pine Street and 2 trips were destined for that area. However, the Champlain Parkway
will cause the intersection with Pine Street to be disconnected and drivers will be forced to take an
alternate route. Based on the possible destinations from Pine Street, we estimate that about one third
of these 6 trips will utilize routes that do not include the Champlain Parkway. This results in 4 PM
peak hour trip traveling through the Champlain Parkway project.
FEES
Based on the recommended Act 145 fees associated with each project which VTrans provided, we
calculate the total Act 145 fees in Figure 21. The Act 145 fees come to $9,205.

RSG has conducted an analysis of traffic impacts associated with the proposed Larkin Terrace
development located in South Burlington, Vermont. The proposed development would be 60

and 17,000 square feet of retail space). The project would replace an existing 61-unit apartment-style
hotel. The site entrance and exit will be on Fayette Road approximately 200 feet west of US-7 and
aligned opposite an existing plaza access.
Key project findings include:
TRIP GENERATION
We project the proposed development will generate approximately 40 net trips during the
weekday PM peak hour. Of this total, we project that 8 trips will be pass-by trips (vehicles
already passing by the site on US-7) meaning the development with add 32 trips to the
surrounding roads network.
CONGESTION ANALYSIS
Traffic along Fayette Road will continue to experience minimal delays (LOS A) with and
without the project. Access driveways for both the site and 7 Fayette across the street will
maintain LOS B. The LOS at US-7 intersection with Fayette Road and McIntosh Avenue
will also remain virtually unchanged with mainline traffic experiencing LOS A and side line
traffic experiencing LOS D both before and after the development installed.
PUD AND REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
With the additional of project related traffic, the PUD trip generation will be within the trip
limits of both the PUD and the South Burlington Traffic Overlay District. Parking for the
PUD will require an 8% waiver, which is less than the 25% waiver allowed.
CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis presented in this report, we conclude that construction of the proposed Larkin
Terrace development will not cause unreasonable congestion or unsafe conditions on the local
roadway network and will not adversely impact the public investment in roadway infrastructure in the

Re: 4C0877-10 Marilyn Larkin (Larkin Terrace) – South Burlington
Dear Ms. Monaghan:
VTrans has reviewed the proposed permit and the RSG Traffic Impact Study (Exhibit 037, RSG, May 26, 2017) for the above application and offers the comments below.
The proposed project consists of the construction of a new four story, mixed use structure with a basement garage, 60 dwelling units and 21,653 gross square feet of commercial space. This new development will be known as Larkin Terrace. According to the RSG traffic analysis, the proposed project is expected to generate 64 vehicles per hour (vph) during the PM peak hour. However this
building has an existing land use as a 61 unit apartment style hotel so the net amount new trips generated
in the PM peak hour will be 40 vehicles. The PM peak hour was primary volume used for the analysis since it was the hour of day where the roadway network and the site trip generation volumes were highest. The AM peak hour would have lower volumes for both of these factors. The traffic impact study was able to adequately address both the Level of Service analysis and the crash analysis for this
portion of US-7 and Fayette Dr. The site design has connections to adjacent sidewalks as well as being
located within close proximity of a transit shelter. Pedestrian signals and crosswalks exist at Fayette Dr. and US-7 for safe pedestrian movements. The development will also be providing bicycle racks on site for residents and visitors. Based on the traffic data as well as the bicycle/pedestrian accommodations, VTrans has no concerns relative to the impact of the project on local traffic congestion, safety, or access for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit.
The development is located approximately 0.7 miles from the Champlain Parkway project extending along Pine St. that is included on the VTrans Capital Program (Project number MEGC M 5000(1)). The development is also located 1.8 miles from the Burlington Roundabout project at the intersection of Shelburne Rd, South Willard St, St. Paul St, and Locust St. (Project number HES 5000(18)). Based on
the net traffic volume distribution shown in the RSG Traffic Impact Assessment, we estimate that 4 vph will pass through the Champlain Parkway project during the PM peak hour and that that 1 vph will pass through the Burlington Roundabout project during the PM peak hour.
Ms. Stephanie Monaghan 4C0877-10 Marilyn Larkin (Larkin Terrace) – South Burlington August 9, 2017 Page 2 of 3
VTrans recommends payment of a transportation impact fee for the Champlain Parkway and Burlington
Roundabout projects pursuant to Act 145 (2014) – Transportation Impact Fees. Act 145 allows a District Commission to require payment of a transportation impact fee for a capital transportation improvement that is “…necessary to mitigate the transportation impacts of a proposed development or subdivision or that benefit the proposed development or subdivision” (10 VSA §6104). The Champlain Parkway and Burlington Roundabout projects will address congestion and safety issues resulting in improved access that will benefit the proposed development.
VTrans recommends a transportation impact fee for Champlain Parkway project of $2,069 per PM peak hour trip and an impact fee for the Burlington Roundabout project of $1,217 per PM peak hour trip. Multiplying the estimated trips by the impact fee amounts ($2,069/PM peak hour trip x 4 trips) and ($1,217/PM peak hour trip x 1 trip) respectively, the proposed development project should be
assessed a total transportation impact fee of $9,493. Payment to VTrans would be due after the Land Use Permit is issued and prior to the start of construction. The check should be sent to the following address: State of Vermont Agency of Transportation
Development Review and Permitting Services Section 1 National Life Drive – 3rd Floor Montpelier, VT 05633-5001 Attn: Christopher Clow
