These portions of the developments generate approximately 250 trips per day <br />and 50 trips during the p.m. peak hour. <br />Trip Distribution <br />Trip distribution to and from the Golf Course is shown in appendix D. <br />Traffic Assignment <br />Project traffic was assigned to the surrounding roadways. The estimated average daily <br />trips and p.m. peak hour trips added to the roadway system by the various components of <br />the development are shown in appendix D. <br />Background Traffic Volumes <br />Existing average daily traffic (ADT) volume on the surrounding roadways and the projected <br />background growth expected is not available from the Cities. Higher than average annual <br />growth rates are expected in area traffic volumes as a result of additional development <br />anticipated in the areas surrounding the project. Since no formal applications for <br />development in the areas surrounding the project have been made with the City of Orono <br />at this time, no specific cumulative impacts of other approved projects are included in this <br />analysis. <br />Recommended Roadway Improvements <br />The project traffic warrants no capacity improvements to County Road 6, Spring Hill Road <br />or East Long Lake Road. <br />Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities <br />The creation of new residential subdivisions in the area will increase the demand for <br />sidewalks and bicycle trails along the surrounding arterials such as County Road 6, Spring <br />Hill Road and East Long Lake Road. <br />Conclusion <br />The proposed Spring Hill Golf Club development is not expected to have significant traffic <br />impacts. Based on the current plans, the current rear driveway will be replaced with a new <br />driveway connection to Spring Hill Road. A new driveway to the maintenance facility will <br />I
