TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS UPDATE
NINE TO FIVE DAY CARE CENTER
N.E, 4TH STREET
PREPARED BY:
OLSAK & ASSOCIATES, INC,
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 1991
.
..
INTRODUCTION
This is the site of an existing approved 1,25 acre Day Care
Center, which will be located on the west side of N.E. 4th
Street, approximately 100 feet south of N,E, 20th Avenue wit in
the City Limits of Boynton Beach.
The purpose of this Traffic Impact Analysis will be to
determine the total number of vehicular daily trips generated to
and from the site,
Access to the site will be from N.E, 4th Street.
This Day Care Center is intended to be 7,500 total square
feet with construction to begin prior to April 1, 1991,

TRAFFIC GENERATION RATES
Trip Generation Rates were taken from Palm Beach County's
Fair Share Impact Fee Ordinance and were as follows for the
original approved March 1990 report:
Day Care Center
67 T/1000 Sq, Ft, x 7,500 Sq, Ft, = 503 Total Gross VTD
Palm Beach County also provides within the Fair Share Impact
Fee, that not all of these 503 gross vehicle trips per day were
considered "pass by trips", Therefore a total of 50 vehicle
trips per day were considered "pass by trips", The net vehicle
trips was therefore 452, which was distributed throughout the
roadway system,
A subsequent review of the above generation
rates indicate that the maximum traffic of 452 daily trips does
not take into account, the fact that this Day Care Center will
mainly serve the adjacent subsidized housing development north of
this project, It is expected that 50% of the total daily trips
will originate from the Boynton Bay subsidized housing project.
The remaining 50% of the trips will be vehicular trips. The
.
average daily trips are categorized as follows:
452 ADT x 50% Veh, Trips = 226 Trips/Day
452 ADT x 50% Pedestrian Trips = 226 Trips/Day

RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSIONS
This project generates a total of 452 average daily trips
per day as identified in the March 1990 traffic report. A
subsequent review of that report indicates that because of the
location of proposed Day Care Center to the adjacent Boynton Bay
subsidized housing project clearly not all the expected traffic
will be vehicular traffic to the site. Page 2 of the Report
estimated that 50% of the trips will be vehicular and 50% of the
estimated trips will be pedestrian oriented trips.
Therefore total of 226 trips per day will be vehicular trips
and 226 trips will be pedestrian trips. Traffic Impact fees for
this project should therefore be calculated on the total 226
vehicular trips per day,
