7 CALTRAN 8.—.000- GROUP MG� s As shown in Table 1, considering the potential that Day Care Facility with 25 Students (a reduction of 15 students from the original application) it will generate the maximum trips compared to area and employees variables. As a result, this analysis is considered conservative for the expected traffic generated by the new facility. Capture Rates: In addition, Pass -by trips are usually trips that already exist within the network with intend to use certain land uses and those trips could be deducted from the raw trip generation. A reduction rate of 47% of the raw generation trips or a maximum 10% of the exiting adjacent road traffic can be applied as pass -by trips rate according with ITE and FDOT site impact Handbook can be applicable to Drive -In Banks and no Pass -by trips are applied to the Day Care Facilities. Table 2 summarizes the estimated new trips on the surrounding roadway network for the proposed change of use. Table 2. Estimated New ITE Trips Based on the comparison shown in Table 2, the proposed Day Care Center could generated at least three times less number of trips than it might be expected to be generated by the previous use (Drive -In Bankfacility) that was located at the overall store -front even after deducting pass by trips. Traffic Analysis: Considering the same situation at the time of the original analysis. The current economic conditions cannot depict the potential trip generation from the overall strip mall an analysis of the current traffic at the signal of Collins Avenue at NE 174th Street was performed as an additional surrogate measurement of the potential trips generated by the change of land use in the concerned storefront unit. Exiting Traffic Volumes: Turning Movement Counts were performed during the AM and PM peak periods (7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM) on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at NE 174th Street and Collins Avenue The volumes were collected in 15- minute intervals and the peak hour was determined for each intersection. Raw information is presented in the appendix. The FDOT peak season conversion factor was applied to the traffic counts to adjust the traffic to peak season volumes. The appropriate peak season conversion factor for the week when the traffic counts were collected is 1.04. Existing signal phasing and timing patterns were obtained from the Miami -Dade County Public Work Department for the signalized intersection required to be evaluated in this analysis. The TMCs and the signal timing for the intersection of Collins Avenue at NE 1741h Street identified as the asset 3881 by Miami -Dade County are also documented in the Appendix. The existing ingress and egress traffic volumes during the peak hours are summarized in Table 3. 1400 NW 107th Ave, Suite 209, Miami, FL 33172 Tel: 786- 456 -7700 Fax: 786- 513 -0711 Page 2 www.caltrangroup.com Land Use LUC Units Daily Trips PM Peak Trips Hour Day Care Facility 565 Employees 133 (9 In/ 10 Out) Day Care Facility 565 1,633 SF 129 20 (9 In/ 11 Out) Day Care Facility 565 25 Students 112 21 (10 In/ 11 Out) Drive -In Bank 912 4,899 SF 385 67 (33 In/ 64 Out) Based on the comparison shown in Table 2, the proposed Day Care Center could generated at least three times less number of trips than it might be expected to be generated by the previous use (Drive -In Bankfacility) that was located at the overall store -front even after deducting pass by trips.
