TRAFFIC REPORT i' <br /> lECE [IV E <br /> ii,!, <br /> _ _ . _. --- <br /> Varadero <br /> Traffic Study V NOV — 3 2015 I ILO <br /> 12-0-0 1'S-1 1 1 <br /> PLANNING & ZONING DEPT. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i <br /> 1 I <br /> I <br /> The Varadero project will be located at 18801 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. <br /> The project proposes 431 residential condominium units, 90 condo-hotel units, 60 hotel rooms, a 1; <br /> 1,177 SF lobby lounge, a 4,776 SF restaurant, a 4,776 SF gym/spa, and 2,161 SF of office space, I, <br /> replacing-349-hotel/condo-hotel-units-.-The main-access to the projecfwill-be through a two-way li <br /> !: <br /> driveway located at the east leg of the unsignalized intersection of Collins Avenue and 188`h <br /> Block. A second two-way driveway north of the main entrance will be provided also accessing <br /> i1 <br /> I. <br /> Collins Avenue. A third two-way driveway located at the north end of the project will also I , <br /> access Collins Avenue. For the purpose of this traffic analysis, project build-out is anticipated by <br /> 1 <br /> 2017. Ii <br /> i <br /> An assessment of the traffic impacts associated with the Varadero project was performed. All of <br /> the analyzed intersections currently operate, and will continue to operate within the City's <br /> adopted LOS standards. As with existing and future without project conditions, the minor <br /> approaches and southbound left movement at the Collins Avenue / 186th Street and Collins <br /> Avenue / 188`h Block intersections are projected to operate at low levels of service and ,j <br /> 4. <br /> experiencing some delay. This is due to the fact that for un-signalized intersections the software ]Ni <br /> tends to overestimate delay measurements for the minor approaches and does not account for <br /> gaps in traffic created by the upstream signalized intersections to allow the minor street traffic <br /> LI <br /> flow. If the minor approach delays do each the software estimates, observed behavior shows .I,. <br /> III.' <br /> drivers will find alternate routes. rj1 <br /> ii il <br /> li <br /> An assessment of circulation as it relates to the valet services during the PM peak hour was ; 11 1 , <br /> II <br /> performed. The queuing analysis shows that the anticipated queue at the designated valet ys do reit <br /> pick-up areas during the typical PM peak traffic conditions can be accommodated within the i <br /> i1 <br /> project site at each of the three proposed stations. j <br /> l' t <br /> id. i i <br /> 1111 <br /> I, II <br /> Page iii <br /> b' 111 ' <br /> II <br /> i ' <br /> III <br /> I <br />
