COUNTY TRANSPORTATION Staff Contact: Jim Banks (804-748-1037) banksj@chesterfield.gov Case 15SN0562 limits development to a maximum of 8 lots (Proffered Condition 3). Based on that number of lots and applying trip generation rates for a single-family dwelling, development could generate approximately 103 average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property is anticipated to initially be distributed via residential streets to Hull Street Road. with a recommended right of way width of 120 to 200 feet. This section of Hull Street Road is a six-lane divided road. In 2015, the traffic count on Hull Street Road between Courthouse Road Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. This proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation improvements. The applicant has not offered to provide any mitigating road improvements. The property is located within Traffic Shed 7, which encompasses the area of the County bounded by Hull Street Road, Chippenham Parkway, Route 10, and Route 288. Several roads in this traffic shed or which serve this traffic shed are substandard, with little or no shoulders, fixed objects (trees) adjacent to the edge of the pavement, and poor vertical and horizontal alignments. The traffic volume generated from this proposed residential development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to these roads in excess of existing transportation facility capacity. Roads in this shed or which serve this shed need to be improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the increased traffic from the proposed development. through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or a cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the network, Transportation staff has calculated the average impact of a single-family dwelling unit on the transportation network to be $12,652; however, the Board of Supervisors has adopted a policy establishing that it would accept a maximum cash proffer of $9,400 per dwelling unit as 617SN0771-2017AUG23-BOS-RPT addressing the traffic impacts of residential development, with all of the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. As such, if the applicant chooses to address the $9,400 per dwelling unit for improvements to the road network would be appropriate. The applicant has proffered to pay $9,400 per dwelling unit (Proffered Condition 1). Staff supports the request.
