CR 15 and Woodhili Road would be tne preferred access for a maionty of tne club ? members and visitors Under yvoodhill s proposed CUP anendment, all trucks, service, delivery, taxi and commercial vehicles will remain on Woodhiil Road The club estimates approximately half (50%) of the weekday and weekend vehicle trips are visitor, staff, or service trips that will not use the Woodhiil Avenue access Based on the club's membership list, no more than 25% of Woodhi'l membe's live west and north of the club and would possibly travel to and from home via the Woodh ii Avenue to access the club Of the 250 member related weekend trips, it is iherelore estimated that no more than 60 trips (i e 30 members per aay) would use the Woodniti Avenue access, with no access to Woodh'ii Avenue proposed alter 8PV1 Woodhiil A¥onU0 Romdwmy Capacity Woodhiil A. nue has sufficient roadway capacty to accommooaie ’he increased traffic It IS wider than Woodhiil Road that currently cames ar Woodhiil country Club trail.c and It IS the same paved width (24 +) as Orono Orchard Road mat carnes 1800 vehicles per day While't is not unusual lor two-iane roadways to carry 5 000 or more veh cies per day. residential streets typically are lower volume streets ana are ciassihed on me basis of their access ana daily traffic Historically. Woodhiil Avenue has served as a residential subcollector street serving both residential prooerlies and the club Average daily traffic capacity lor ttiese streets IS defined having 10(X) or less vehicles per day (source Residential Street 2"^ Ed. American Society of Civil Engineers and National Association ot Home Builders ) Presently. Woodhiil Avenue is serving as a residential access street, which, m the hierarchy of residential streets based on traffic volumes, are the lowest-o’der and carry 250 vehicles or less per day on pavement widths between 22 and 24 ' (source Residential Street 2^ Ed. American Society of Civil Engineers and National Association of Home Builders.) Woodhiil Avenue' s potential increase in traffic from 50-60 ven cles per day to approximately 100 to 120 vemcies per day is well within both the roadway s capacity and present classification based on iraff c volumes and roadway width Intarsaetion Capacity Four ’nierseclions will experience slight changes in traffic volumes as a result of the restoration o1 reguiar vehicular access to Wooahill Avenue The first IS the Woodhiil Avenue and Woodhiil Ridge private road intersection, which is presently under unsupervised control The three-iegged intersection is proposed for ati- way stop control to limit speeds and reflect the sight distances restrictions from Woodhiil Ridge Under stop control, the intersection will operate at a LOS A", indicating no vehicle delays or queuing at the intersection Uniform hours of access (7AM to 8PM) are proposed lor the Woodhili access The uniformity of hours will reduce the chances of members inadvertently trying to access the club while the access is closed and will create uniform expectation of usage by Woodhi'i Ridge and Woodhiil Avenue residents The second is at the Woodhiil Avenue and Orono Orchard Road intersection, where approximately 30 vehicles pe' aay will turn left from southpouna Orono Orchard Road and approximately 30 vehicles per day wilt turn right from westbound Woodhiil Avenue. ft •'y of gn§ltt4p0rin$ \
