The office complex site comprises about 7 acres with 375 ' frontage on llington Road. The site is zoned RC and is completely ur rounded by RC zone, including land across Ellington R ad. 2. The archite ture of the proposed office building will be quite compa ible with surrounding buildings. The applicant plans to r novate an existing building on site and incorporate it into the office complex. He has already secured a variance to do so, a the existing building is nonconforming in front yard setbac The Planning Department has discovered that the other existing house , at the northeast corner of the site, is a historic residence - the M. E. Pars house, dating back to at least the mild - 1860 ' s. (The Dodd ' s house east of this house was the post office then) . I offer the suggestion, for the PZC ' s consideration, that this historic building be saved and the entrance drive which bisects it be eliminated from the pro- posal. A valiance would be required to expand the historic building. 3. Traffic con erns are quite similar to the preceding shopping center appl cation. Traffic queues up West of the proposed entrances to this site from the 5 corners intersection at PM peak as pre iously noted. I recommend elimination of the east- erly entran e drive (closest to 5 corners) . Exiting vehicles will experience the difficult left turn movement during PM peak, and provisions must be made to allow westbound vehicles to safely turn left into this site. 4 . The required number of parking spaces for this site is 96; applicant p�oposes 106 . 5 . The proposed landscaping looks quite excellent. The plans indi- cate that m4ny existing trees will remain, and we anticipate that this will be accomplished as indicated. 6 . There are no regulated wetlands on site. This application will be heard at the June IWA/CC meeting for conservation plan approval . 7. Signage resl_raint would also be desirable for this site. The architectur 1 elevations do not indicate facade signs ; if used, I trust tha similar attractive signs will be used. 8 . Planning Department ' s requested plan modifications have been made . Should the PZC decide to request that the applicant save the historic Pars home, plan modifications will be needed to incorporate this. If the easterly curb cut is eliminated, plans must also be revised to lreflect this . PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT RE: RWR OFFICE COMPLEX 9 . SUMMARY:I a. The architecture is compatible with the surrounding area; b. S fety of vehicles entering and exiting the site is o primary concern to this application; C. Landscaping looks very attractive ; d. Restraint in signage would be desirable. �I 5/12/86 STORCH ENGINEERS TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE I. AUTHORIZATION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 II .

AUTHORI ATION The stu�y has been authorized by Mr. Richard Kelley, President of RSK-Kellco Corporation, the developer of the proposed project. i II . SCOPE A D PURPOSE The pro osed study was undertaken to assess the potential of the proposed development of the Town Shopping Center and RWR Office Complex to impact traffic operations in the vicinity of Wapping Five Corners. The study waJ to address both interior traffic operations and on-site circulation. ', The Scope of the study included supplementing data acquired for the Burger King study as necessary and the conduct of manual and automatic traffic counts with observation of peak hour traffic patterns. III. DEFINITIONS In order to clarify the meaning of the certain specialized traffic engineering terms used in this Report, the following definitions are offered: Trip is Ea one-way movement to or from a site. One car entering and leaving a site constitutes two trips. Traffic Generation is the actual number of vehicle movements which may reasonably be expected to be attracted by a specific development. Usually, traffic generation is expressed as a number of trips. Average Weekday Traffic is the total traffic generation of a r development o,p a typical working weekday. 1 STORCH ENGINEERS Peak Ho r Generation is the maximum traffic generation which may be anticipated luring the highest volume hour for the particular development. ' This analysis parameter may vary as to the time of day, depending on ',the type of facility proposed. Office building normally generate pear volume rates which coincide with the peak volume rates of the surrounding roadway network, fast food restaurants have peak traffic during the Nolon hour. Trip Distribution is the process of determining the proportion of the generated,, trips that can be expected to originate at any location. Traffic 8ssignment is the process of assigning the trips which have been distributed from the various points of origin to the roadway system which would provide the most direct route between the points of origin and destination. Capacity'iand Level of Service (LOS) are terms utilized to describe the ability of a roadway to handle its traffic assignment. IV. EXISTING CONDITIONS A. Sit and Adjacent Roadway Descriptions The site'lof the proposed Shopping Center and Office Complex is located on two parcels of land adjacent to Wapping Five Corners. It is proposed that� the Town Shopping Center has access drives to Buckland Road and Ellington Road (Route 30) . The RWR Office Complex would be served by drives to Ellington (Route 30) . The general location of the project is shown in Figure One with a site location map presented in Figure 2 and driveway locations shown for each development in Figure 3 (Town Center) and Figure 4 (RWR Office) . 2 �• I w. • . � ■ waleSO,11 TOWN SHOPPING CENTER RWR OFFICE COMPLEX ltlt 1 •/ _� • o e - r d ._Cq f wC �fC C`G 04, S,ac., lAMD \ ep' hlu `MGt ~FA Rp"D � of O4 �C> a tR e r 8 /NIA qD4 V r pCCRFICID � l �< r a / ~� W o ELLR,GT N ROAD" 04* c O •p a G F4� 10 9 4'ti4 c2 s 4fo" Ggn i SITE LOCATION 9 B�GC �{ 3 G 0 TOWN SHOPPING CENTER RWR OFFICE COMPLEX SOUTH W-1-N-DSOR-, CT SCA c N.T.S.

Roadway Conditions In the vicinity of the proposed development the various conditions of the roadways were noted as follows: Buckland Road is a two-lane highway some 36± feet wide with a straight and level alignment in the project area. The roadway is bituminous concrete and sight distances from the proposed driveway location were found to be adequate. Ellington Road (Route 30) is a two-lane highway varying from 36 to 40 feet in width. It is straight and level in the project area and sight distances measured from proposed driveways were adequate. Adjacent development is primarily commercial with Society Bank, SNET, Colonial Cornere, Post Office, and Town Hall located in the vicinity. V. TRAFFIC GENERATION The proposed development will consist of two separate sites and traffic generation for each was estimated separately. Town Shopping Center is proposed to contain 60,000 square feet of retail space and a separate 5,000 square foot Office Building. RWR Office Complex is proposed to contain 12,000 square feet of office space. Traffic Generation estimates are given in Table I . 3 STORCH ENGINEERS TABLE Trip Generation Estimates I . Town Shopping Center Daily Generation 60,000 S.F. Retail = 60 Generation Units x 79. 1 = 4 ,800 Trips 5,000 S. F. Office = 5 Generation Units x 12.30 = 60 Trips 4,860 Trips Morning Peak Period 60 x 2.9 = 180 5 x 2.32 = 12 192 Trips Afternoon Peak Period 60 x 8.2 = 492 5 x 2.20 = 11 503 Trips II . RWR Office Complex 12,000 S.F. = 12 Generation Units Daily 12 x 12.30 = 145 Trips Morning Peak Period 12 x 2.32 = 29 Trips Afternoon Peak Period 12 x 2.20 = 26 Trips Source - Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Technical Committee 6A-6 4 STORCH ENGINEERS Additional development in the area of the Town Shopping Center is proposed Burger King Restaurant. This will add a maximum of 157 trips during the PM peak hour period. VI . TRIP ASSIGNMENT A general review of the type of retail use proposed was conducted. The Town Shopping Center will not serve as a regional magnet but rather will have a local clientel . In addition some transient business will be generated from passing traffic . It is not likely that the facility will generate large amounts of "new" traffic during the peak traffic periods . Trips were therefore assigned to the drives on the basis of approaching volume percentages. Traffic associated with the RWR Office Complex is assumed to be "new" traffic and the volume added to background traffic. VII. ANALYSIS The nature of the proposed development is such that it should not of its own right aggrevate traffic conditions by increasing volumes. The Town Shopping Center is not of sufficient size to be a major regional traffic attractor. Most of those drivers utilizing the Center driveway the critical evening peak would have been in the area in any event. Thus a major increase in volume is not anticipated. There will however be different turning patterns because of the new drives. The evening peak period shows marked increases in traffic congestion at the Wapping Five Corners intersection. c STORCH ENGINEERS Manual turning movement counts when compared to analytical estimates of capacity indicated the intersection possesses little ability to process more vehicles. Observations during the evening peak hour confirmed levels of congestion were occurring on all approaches to the Wapping Five Corners signal . Vehicle queuing was excessive on Buckland Road and Ellington Road (Route 30) . The duration of observed traffic congestion was for approximately one hour between 4 : 30 PM and 5: 30 PM. This would be consistant with travel times from Hartford - the major employment center. During the above period queues were seen to extend from the Wapping Five Corners signal east on Buckland Road past the proposed drive and south on Ellington Road (Route 30) past the proposed drive to the Town Shopping Center. Thus the major concern in assessing the impact of the proposed developments is the ability of traffic to safely enter or exit the site. To obtain a thorough understanding of the noted conditions meetings were held with Town staff. At these meetings it was noted that the Town has identified the "Wapping Five Corners" problem and will soon execute a contract for design of traffic control improvements to the area. The concept being proposed includes a widening of Buckland Road to four traffic lanes in the project area and the relocation of Ellington Road (Route 74) to intersect Sullivan Avenue west of the Post Office. Thus the project would eliminate one "leg" of the Wapping Five Corners intersection. Our analysis of the traffic conditions confirms the need for these changes. 6 STORGH ENGINEERS Recognizing the Town was proceeding on this course and with the understanding that those improvements would most likely not be constructed for 4-5 years we concentrated our analysis on those measures necessary to provide workable traffic operations at the driveways of the Town Shopping Center until the final project is contracted. The major problem area encountered would be by motorists attempting to exit the site during the evening peak period. Right turners would likely ha%e little problems . Left turners would encounter queues that block sight distance an also provide little opportunity to enter the traffic stream. The fact that Buckland and Ellington Road (Route 30) are two lanes in the driveway areas also provides for delay potential to vehicles attempting to turn left into the site. Traffic engineering methods are available to mitigate these problem areas and we recommend a specific program in the following sections. VIII . RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION Based on the detailed analysis which was conducted for this project it has been found that certain remedial measures would be necessary to assure adequate traffic operations at site driveways pending completion of the widening of Buckland Road and construction of the Wapping Five Corners bypass road. A. Buckland Road Construct a minor widening to provide a westbound bypass lane so through traffic would not be delayed by traffic turning left into the center. 7 STORCH ENGINEERS B. Ellington Road (Route 30) Construct a minor widening to provide a southbound left turn lane into the Town Shopping Center. It is recommended that the drive to Ellington Road (Route 30) be considered for signalization with the signals tied to those at Wapping Five Corners. These would be operated to assure the ability to enter Ellington Road (Route 30) from Town Shopping Center or Colonial Cornere durilig heavy traffic periods . Upon completion of the Wapping Bypass Road signalization should be re-evaluated and if not warranted removed. Provided the improvements to the driveways are implemented as recommended we do not foresee a materially adverse effect in area traffic operations by the construction of the Town Shopping Center or RWR Office Complex. While area traffic conditions are currently congested during the evening commuter peak the improvements noted would mitigate any further deterioration and provide safe access to the proposed center. 8 ~T SUMMARY OF TRIP GENERATION RATES Land Use/Building Type General pfflce R ul ] d'ng ITE Land Use Code 710 Independent Variable—Trips per 1 . 000 Gress Square Feet Average Number Average Size of Trip Maximum Minimum Correlation of Independent Rate Rate Rate Coefficient Studies Variable/Study Average Weekday Vehicle Trip Ends 12 . 0 4 . 5 L6 2 Peak A.M.
