Dear Mr. Mannarino: At the June 10 meeting of the Inland Wetlands Agency, an ammendment was added to the minutes of their meeting of May 20, 1985. It has been noted there were two votes against your proposal by members of the agency, rather than unanimous approval. Although they had no problem with the roads, these members basically objected because they were concerned about the number of units in the wetlands and the over-all impact from that number of units. They also mentioned a letter from Planning and Zoning requesting that the agency be tougher on some wetland areas. These members felt this project fit that mold because a DA-15 zone was mentioned for this site.

HESKETH & ASSOCIATES, INC. 101 MILLBROOK COMMON•BLOOMFIELD,CT 06002•(203)242-7755 June 21 , 1985 Wilson M. Alford, Jr . Alford Associates , Inc. ,,, 200 Pigeon Hill Road Q Windsor , Connecticut 06095 Ellington Road oUth �J�r Comm��slo South Windsor 8587 Dear Mr. Alford : In accordance with your request -we have conducted an analysis of existing roadway and traffic conditions on Ellington Road in South Windsor between its intersection with Foster Road and Pierce Road. The purpose of our study was to gather information on existing traffic operations so that we could determine the impact on that traffic that may result from the development of 55 new housing units in a proposed DA-15 Zone on the property of Frank Mannarino which is located on the north side of Ellington Road about three tenths of a mile west of Pierce Road. Our study consisted of a site investigation, an analysis of roadway and traffic conditions on Route 30 in this area, a review of previous traffic studies con- ducted in the area, a projection of traffic expected on this roadway with the completion of housing presently under construction at Chapel Hill , Strawbridge, Parkview South, and Lakewood and a projection of further increases to traffic that will be expected from the development of consulting ngin rs sury y rs U/G-/Oe.- ,/j•- �/ 0a' - 55 designed residence housing units at Snrinq Keadew.. During our studies we made observations of existing traffic flow in the area to assess the quality of traffic flow in this area with particular attention to the ability of traffic in side roads and driveways to enter the heavy commuter hour .flow existing on Route 30 . Ellington Road (Designated as Connecticut Route 30 in this area ) is a two lane bi-directional , bituminous concrete roadway with a variable width of generally 26 to 30 feet. The section of Route 30 between Pierce Road and Foster Road is a level roadway with a single, gentle, horizontal curve near the site proposed for development as Sp-r ^^ Land use along this section of road is a mixture of single family and multi family housing with the Candlewood Apart- ments , the Bryrewood Condominiums , and Strawbridge served by Ellington Road on its south side. The south side of the road also includes the South Windsor Fire House near its intersection with Foster Road. Most of the land on the north side of the roadway in the study area is devoted to single family residential property on large lots . The posted speed limit in the section of roadway is 40 miles per hour . Estimates of daily and peak hour traffic in the study area were developed based upon data maintained in the Engineering Data & Inventory Section of the Bureau of Highways inthe Connecticut Department of Transportation and sampling counts conducted by our office in the study area in 1985 . The data -2- indicates average daily traffic in the study section at 10, 000 to 11 , 000 vehicles with peak hour traffic occurring between 7 : 00 and 8 : 00 a .m. and 4 : 00 to 5 : 00 p.m. carrying traffic volumes in excess of 1200 vehicles per hour. Figure 1 provides a graphic illustration of the current estimated hourly traffic flow on Route 30 in this area with morning peak hour traffic of about 1150 vehicles per hour and after- noon peak hour traffic of about 1200 vehicles . The extreme peaking characteristics evident in this data demonstrates the importance of this roadway as a commuter highway connecting South Windsor, Ellington and sections of Vernon and East Windsor with the Bissell Bridge/Route 5/East Hartford area. Studies of the directional distribution of traffic on Route 30 reveals that 75% to 80% of the hourly traffic on the roadway is destined in the predominant direction during the peak hour, that being toward the south and west during the morning commuter peak and to the north and east during the afternoon commuter traffic hours . Hourly traffic flow during the time from 9 : 00 a .m. to 3 : 00 p.m. is less than 500 vehicles per hour with traffic exhibiting generally equal flow in both directions during that time period. Figures 1 and 2 depict the results of counts taken in connection with a previous study on Ellington Road at the drive to Candlewood/Bryrewood. Those counts reveal that 65% to 750 of the peak period traffic at that complex has its origins or destinations to the south- west. Figures 3 and 4 depict similar results from studies taken on Ellington Road at the residential community within -3- Quarry Brook Drive in May 1984 . We have no reason to doubt U G�JC '7' (�GG dS , that residents at " e-ad-1 e•-' will follow similar patterns with the predominant movement toward the southwest in peak periods . That tendency would indicate that 65% to 75% of the traffic coming toward Spiing Meadew during afternoon commuter periods would do so by means of a left turn. Additional residential construction in the northeast section of South Windsor in areas off Ellington Road, Abbey Road and Nevers Road can be expected to provide additional in- creases in peak commuter hour traffic assuming that traffic has the same distribution. Additional residential con- struction to the southwest such as at Strawbridge, Lakewood, and areas in that vicinity will have a lesser impact on this section or Route 30 since most of that traffic also is projected to have origins and destinations primarily in the southwest during commuter periods . It is expected that the completion of construction on Inter- state Route 86 and the construction of the Interstate Route 291 connector between the Bissell Bridge and Route 86 in Manchester will eventually provide alternate routes for some of the traffic utilizing this Route 30 but the expectation over the near future will be for a gradual increase in peak hour traffic in a lengthening of the peak hour over a greater time period. The present characteristics of traffic on this roadway indicate an extreme short term peak given within the peak hour. As illustrated in the following table which was developed in studies presented to the Commission -4- recently: PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 15 MINUTE INTERVALS ELLINGTON ROAD, SOUTH WINDSOR TIME EASTBOUND TRAFFIC 7: 0 0 - 7 : 15 200 7 : 15 - 7 : 3 0 222 7 : 30 - 7 : 45 /_'85 7 : 4 5 - 8 : 0 0 242 8 : 00 - 8 : 15 197 8 : 15 - 8 : 3 0 128 8 : 30 - 8 : 45 110 8 : 4 5 - 9 : 0 0 80 Increased res_ dential development in South Windsor and towns to the north and east of South Windsor be it in condcminium development, clustered single family homes or typical s :b- division type single family homes , will increase the peak hour traffic such that each 15 minute interval will carry a more nearly- equal portion of the total hours traffic . Our current study reinforces our previously stated position that these inccases will accelerate the need for capacity improvements at ri,ajor intersections along Route 30 in- cluding those at- Whapping Five Corners as well as at the signalized intersections at Route 30 with Pleasant Valley -5- Road and at Chapel Road. Additional turning lanes on the approaches to those intersections to provide maximum efficiency in traffic signal operations should be considered 1, the near future so that intersection capacity can match the capacity of approach roadways at those major intersections . In addition, by-pass or speed change lanes will be necessary at all major land uses such as the widening that was accomplished at the Candlewood/Bryrewood complex and at the Strawbridge Condominiums under construction opposite Foster Road and has been recommended at the Lakewood community. ti determination of the projected traffic to and from a pro- posed land use involves an analysis of both the traffic generation characteristics at condominium land uses and an analysis of anticipated directional distribution of traffic with origins or destinations within the site. Generation characteristics of multi family land uses, including condo- miniums have been adequately studied in the past and can serve as the basis for realistic projections of traffic expected at a proposed use with 55 living units . Those studies have shown that single family detached housing generated average daily trip ends of about 10 automotive trips per dwelling unit per day. Apartment complexes generate traffic between 5 and 7 trips ends per unit per day while condominiums generate traffic at a rate slightly more than 5 trips per unit per day. Studies conducted by our office at the Candlewood/Bryrewood Condominium/Apartment complex in earlier studies indicated that that complex was generating -6- daily traffic at a rate less than 5 trips per dwelling unit per day. We have attached hereto as Tables 1 and 2 the results of that study which was conducted at a time when the complex contained 348 occupied units and produced daily traffic of just under 1600 vehicles per day. I recently had the opportunity to review traffic generation characteristics at another South Windsor property proposed for development under the DA- 15 zoning classification. In connection with that study we developed generation charac- teristic at Pond Place in Avon, a community of clustered single family homes similar to that envisioned in South Windsor ' s DA-15 zoning classification. That facility has 210 living units and generates daily traffic at a rate between 6 and 62 trips per day per dwelling unit. Most studies of multi family housing indicate that the heaviest traffic hour of the day produces between 8% to 100 of the total daily traffic. Based upon those studies we would estimate that 55 units of clustered housing in a DA-15 zone at would produce between 330 and 360 additional trips with peak hour traffic ranging from 25 to 35 zrips . Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the expected peak hour traffic operations at Vi •/v4iy .� Gv0e C/s' . the intersection of r-_' --�v Lane with Ellington Road. These volumes are not so heavy as to cause congestion and adequate sight distance is available to permit that traffic to see and to be seen by traffic on Route 30 . The extreme peak traffic conditions , however , on Route 30 would indicate the need -c.o provide for by-pass capability for eastbound -7- traffic. A similar design is utilized at the Candlewood/ Bryrewood complex and, while there are some short period delays in entering the heavy morning commuter traffic on Route 30 , the existing driveway operates satisfactorily at virtually all time periods . Traffic volumes at �- GvOOaS - W?e h Lane will be decidedly lesser than those existing at Candlewood and fall far below the vehicular volume warrants established in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways as the minimum volume required for satisfactory traffic signal operation. Accordingly, traffic operations should occur under stop sign control and the northbound or eastbound lanes of Route 30 should be widened to provide a minimum of 23 ' from the existing center line for a distance of 150 ' which will include 100 ' in advance of the center line of Sp-r ^ Lane and 50 ' beyond the extended center line with appropriate tapers . Such con- struction will permit through traffic to by-pass those slowing or stopped to turn left. The determination of the exact design for the left turn facility will require a detailed topographic survey of Ellington Road along the entire site frontage and for a distance of 500 feet both east and west of the site to assure a proper design of the various lanes to meet this condition. I would expect any zone change on this property and preliminary site plan approval would include a requirement that the final site plan include adequate engineering for such a left turn facility. The proposal providing for 55 units is below the -8- threshold for requiring a determination by the State Traffic Commission. Final plans , however , must be submitted to the Connecticut Department of Transportation ' s District Permit Office and any Loadway reconstruction must be accomplished in accordance with the Department of Transportation standards . We appreciate the opportunity to provide our analysis with respect to the application for zone change and preliminary site plan approval . I will be available as may be required to assist in the development of design details necessary for final site plan submission and to assist in the presentation of our study findings to appropriate authorities in the Town of South Windsor .

Currently, no DA-15 projects have been approved, so my conclusions are based upon some speculation from condominium and single family units. As DA-15 is cluster housing of a more dense variety than single family, I have looked at both single family and condominium impact. It is my projected opinion, not deeply held because of lack of information, that your units will project about 22 students, with the majority (approximately 14) at the elementary level, and the remainder evenly split between the high school and the middle school . $iely yours, c Robert W.
