This development has never been certified by the State Traffic Commission (STC). The owners of the site are proposing to build a 15,870 square-foot medical office building on a parcel of undeveloped land adjacent to Colonial Cornere, which will have access to Route 194. The combined site will have a total of 52,242 square feet of office space and 277 parking spaces. The breakdown of the site development is as follows: • Officer 21,072 sf • Retail -3,400 sf • Restaurant-2,00..0 sf • Daycare -9,900 sf • Medical Office- 15,870 sf Access to the Colonial Cornere site will remain at four full-access unsignalized drives on Route 30. Access to the proposed medical office building will be via a new full-access in, right-turn out only drive on Route 194. There will be an internal drive connecting the two sites. This internal connection will allow for the vehicles restricted by the right-turn out only drive on Route 194 to exit the site via Route 30. Generated Traffic: The proposed medical office building is expected to generate 61 vehicle trips during the weekday morning peak hour (40 entering, 2.1 exiting) and 71 vehicle trips during the afternoon peak hour (29 entering,42 exiting). The Bureau of Policy and Planning has reviewed and approved these volumes. Proposed Roadway Improvements: The proposed drive to the medical office building will be located south of and opposite a drive to the Town of South Windsor Town Hall,Library and Probate Court. A requirement of the Town is for the developer to widen Route 194 northbound on the west side for approximately 190 feet to provide a 12-foot shoulder leading into the town site drive. The Department of Transportation recommends that the widened section be striped as a ten-foot right-turn lane with a two-foot shoulder rather than a 12- foot shoulder. The developer and the Town are in agreement with this recommendation. As a result of the roadway widening, an easement to the State for highway purposes will be required from the Town along the town site property.
