The basic question addressed is: <br />Would the adjacent streets safely accommodate the trice to <br />and from your home without adverse effect3 on existing traf- <br />fic or on nearby development? o address this question, I <br />observed roadway and developmc t conditions in the neigh- <br />borhood and have applied standard engineering analysis <br />procedures. <br />Presently, the neighborhood in which your home would be <br />located contains 11 dwelling unit. Oak Street, from its <br />intersection with County Highway 135, provides the sole means <br />of access for these homes.

This means that the volume on Oak Street just <br />west of County Highway 135 is about 110 vehicles per day - 55 <br />entering the neighborhood and 55 exiting. <br />The potential traffic effects of your home have been analyzed <br />in the context of these existing conditions.
