PROJECT TRAFFIC Traffic Generation The daily traffic generation for the development was based on trip generation rates published by Palm Beach County. Peak hour characteristics were based on infonnation published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation Report (6th Edition). Table I presents the proposed potential trip generation for the project site. Pass-by rates published by Palm Beach County were used in the analysis. Internal capture of trips between complimentary uses was assumed to occur. The trip generation potential of the existing bank on the site was removed from the total trip generation to obtain the net new external trips. Only the net new external trips are subject to compliance with the Countywide Traffic Performance Standards. Traffic Distribution From a review of the existing and approved development in Palm Beach County and considering the arterial network with its travel time characteristics, the external traffic distribution was calculated. These were summarized by general directions and are depicted below: NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST 19% 31% 25% 25% 040871 OOO.()30 1 Page 4 TABLE 1 WOOLBRIGHT PLAZA TRIP GENERA nON Land Use Intensity Daily AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Trips Total In Out Total In Out Proposed Site Traffic Pharmacy with Drive-Through 12,400 sJ. 1,350 33 19 14 129 63 66 General Office 30.000 sJ. 565 71 62 9 113 19 94 Commercial Retail 15,350 sJ. 2.191 52 32 20 182 87 95 Subtotal 4,106 156 113 43 424 169 255 Internal Capture Pharmacy to Office 10.00% 113 7 4 3 23 12 11 Retail to Office 10.00% 113 10 5 5 23 12 11 Retail to Pharmacy 10.00% 270 1 1- J 26 11 11 Subtotal 496 24 13 II 72 37 35 Pass-By Traffic Pharmacy with Drive-Through 40.00% 463 10 6 4 42 20 22 General Office 5.00% 23 3 3 0 5 0 5 Commercial Retail 44.75% 895 19 12 1 70 33 37 Subtotal 1,381 32 21 11 117 53 64 Proposed Net External Traffic 2,229 100 79 21 235 79 156 Existine: Site Traffic Drive-in Bank 8,000 s.f. 2,122 101 57 44 438 219 219 Pass-By Traffic Drive-in Bank 46.00% 976 46 26 20 201 101 100 Existing External Traffic 1,146 55 31 24 237 118 119 Proposed Driveway Volume 3,610 132 100 32 352 132 220 Net New External Traffic 1,083 45 48 (3) (2) (39) 37 Note: Trip generation was calculated using the following data: Daily Traffic Generation Drive-in Bank [PBC] = T = 265.21 trips 11,000 s.f.

Traffic Assignment The distributed external trips for the project in 2002 were assigned to the roadways within the radius of influence, both in terms of daily external trips and AM and PM peak hour volumes. The project assignment is illustrated in Figure 2. Based on the net impact of the project, it was determined that the maximum radius of development influence for Test I of the traffic performance standards is two (2) miles while the Test 2 radius of influence is one (I) mile. 04087 1 000.()301 Page 6 ptPER'S GlEN BL OLD BOYNTON RD.

BACKGROUND TRAFFIC Background traffic is comprised of two components: · Traffic from the unbuilt portions of approved major developments · Historical growth Traffic from the recently constructed Wal*Mart Supercenter, the proposed BJ's Wholesale Club, and the proposed Sonny's Restaurant north of the site were also included in the analysis. A summary of traffic from these projects is included in the Appendix. No other major projects would contribute greater than ten percent (10%) of the level of service standard on any link significantly impacted by the project during its buildout time frame. According to the requirements of the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County, existing traffic volumes were grown by factors determined by a review of growth data published by Palm Beach County. The total background traffic was determined for each link within the radius of development influence by applying an annual growth rate through the buildout year and adding approved project traffic. 04087 1 OOO.()30 1 Page 8 ~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. ASSURED CONSTRUCTION The existing laneage for each link analyzed was identified. A review of the Five- Year Plans of Palm Beach County and the Florida Department of Transportation, as well as those improvements committed by the developers of projects in the area was made to identify pertinent roadway improvements. No roadway improvements are planned in the study area. 040871 OOO.()30 1 Page 9 ~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. LINK EVALUA TION Test 1 A link performance standard evaluation was undertaken for each link considering its total traffic volume and the roadway laneage to be in place in 2002. Project traffic and total traffic for 2002 are shown in Tables 2 and 3 for daily and average peak hour conditions. As can be seen, all roadway links upon which the project has significant impact meet the average daily and peak hour level of service standards through 2002. Test 2 The Model Test 2 indicates a radius of influence of one mile from the site. No roadway segments on the Test 2 failure list lie within the project's one mile of development influence. 040871 OOO.()30 1 Page 10 '0 .. ;::;: '" ~ 5 I- g!i f ~"'~I- i'!l '" ;.. ..:l ;:S ~ ~ ~ N E- ~ ~ =..:l ~cu I- iil E S ~ ~ ~ :( Q ~ j;:i ~ < ... 1l"''E .. - co .. ., '0 :E~! <I) -5 g ~ .

DRIVEWA Y CLASSIFICA T/ON AND TURN LANE REQUIREMENTS Driveway Classification According to the Palm Beach County "Guide Parking Lot and Street Access Design Criteria and Standards", it is necessary to classify project entrances as minor, intermediate, or major according to the following criteria: 1. Minor - Provides for a maximum average daily traffic of 500. 2. Intermediate - Provides services for a maximum average daily traffic from 501 to 2000. 3. Major - Provides service for a maximum average daily traffic greater than 2,000. Using these criteria, both driveways will be intermediate driveways. Turn Lane Requirements Figure 3 illustrates the proposed project's AM and PM peak hour volumes assigned to the project driveways. Palm Beach County code requires a right-turn lane when inbound peak hour right-turning traffic is 75 vehicles or more. Therefore, code warrants an ingress right-turn lane driveway on Congress Avenue. 04087 I OOO.()30 I Page 13 WOOlBRIGHT RD.
