The proposed project will consist of 18,000 square feet of general retail, 3,600 square feet of bank with drive-through and 7,200 square feet of fast food restaurant with drive through. The build-out is 1996. The proposed project will generate 4,788 daily trips, given a 5% internalization rate. The traffic study identifies Gateway Boulevard as being within its 2 mile study area, but fails to address the traffic volumes on this roadway. As you are aware, the existing traffic volumes on Gateway Boulevard, from Lawrence Road to Congress Avenue, exceed the LOS D traffic volumes for both daily and peak hour, peak direction traffic. The project would be required to phase to the widening of Gateway Boulevard. The roadway improvement is scheduled for FY 96/97. The Traffic Division has determined that the project does not meet requirements of the Traffi c Performance Standards of Pal m Beach County. Phas i ng to the widening of Gateway Boulevard is required to meet the Traffic Performance ',,' Standards.
