The traffic generation analysis was included with the case. The traffic generation report was prepared by James Johnson P.E. with Hakanson Anderson Associates. Exhibit H and I of the report illustrate the total daily trips and peak hourly trips onto the arterial roads adjacent to the proposed subdivision. In addition, the report updates a previous report prepared on May 14, 2002, which examined cumulative traffic impacts of Evergreen Point, Alpine Meadows, Wildlife Sanctuary 2nd Addition, and Sunflower Ridge. The cumulative effects of the above mentioned subdivisions along with the additional units associated with Villas of Meadow Point were evaluated for its impact on the three major intersections, which include TH 47 and Alpine Drive, CSAH 5 and Alpine Drive, and CR 57 and Alpine Drive. Each of these intersections currently operates at a high level of service, even during the AM and PM peaks. The additional traffic generated from the surrounding developments are not expected to deteriorate the level of service of the intersections after full build-out.
