TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
On August 9, 2018, the Lake-Sumter MPO reviewed the New Major Site Plan application and the Tier 1 Traffic Impact Study (TIS) in accordance with the Lake-Sumter MPO TIS Guidelines for Tier 1 TIA. The project is expected to generate approximately 829 Daily Trips and 65 PM Peak Hour trips (after Pass-by trips are removed). It has been noted that the roadway segments on Rolling Acres Road from US 27/441 to CR 466 are operating at deficient Level of Service. Since the intersection at CR 466 and Clay Avenue has a deficient LOS on the northbound approach, it is recommended that an additional northbound lane be constructed to accommodate left turns. The developer will initiate construction of a Left Turn at such time that thresholds set forth in the development order for the Tanner Building project are reached or sooner if authorized by the owner/developer of the project.
