Re: Park Meadows Subdivision Traffic Study
Attn: Chris Brown, PE
Mr. Brown,
On behalf of our client, Rausch Coleman Homes, we are submitting the final traffic study related to a
290 lot residential subdivision, which was recently approved by Planning Commission, called Park
Meadows. The project is located on a 62.62 -acre parcel of land in south Fayetteville, bounded by
Huntsville Road on the north, Morningside Road on the west, and 15th street to the south.
In the estimation of the traffic engineer, Peters and Associates, the anticipated traffic distribution from
the proposed development, coupled with existing traffic counts during the PM peak hour, warrant the
installation of a left hand turn lane at the intersection of Huntsville and Morningside. However, while
the warrant for turn lane was met based on projected traffic counts, the level of service (LOS) along
Huntsville Road remains at LOS A without the construction of the turn lane. LOS A is the highest and
best level of service that AASHTO recognizes. In spite of the exceptional level of service, post
development, we are proposing to construct a left hand turn lane at the intersection of Morningside and
Huntsville to help mitigate the concerns of the public regarding the perceived detrimental effect of the
development.
It's worth noting that the traffic study is based on a full build out and occupation of the development,
meaning that the reported values assume an immediate infusion of 290 residential lots to the existing
traffic flows and street conditions. The study does not assume, or address, the more likely scenario of a
multi-year build out of phases, nor does it take into account the impact of future street improvements in
the area. Specifically, the currently planned and funded widening of 15th Street. The improvements to
15th street are expected to reduce the trip generation from the development traveling north.
We appreciate the dialog and provided by the City Engineering staff during this process.

STAFF MEMO
SUBJECT: Park Meadows Subdivision -Appeal of Planning Commission Approval
Traffic Study Review and Staff Recommendations
This memo provides a review of the traffic study completed by Peters and Associates on behalf
of the developer of the proposed Park Meadows subdivision located at the southeast corner of
Morningside Drive and Huntsville Road. A summary of Staff recommendations for
improvements to be made on Huntsville Road in accordance with the traffic study is also
provided.
Just prior to the Planning Commission meeting, the city received a preliminary traffic study from
Peters & Associates addressing, among other things, the warrants for left turn lanes along
Huntsville Road. The findings in the preliminary traffic study were that NO left turn lanes were
warranted at any of the three intersections with Huntsville Road (Morningside Drive, plus two
additional proposed intersections). After a brief review of the report, Engineering staff disagreed
with the findings, made the determination that turn lanes were warranted at all three locations
and recommended left turn lanes at each of the three intersections as a condition of approval by
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission ultimately voted to only require a turn
lane at Huntsville Road and Morningside Drive, and not at the two proposed new street
intersections.
After the Planning Commission meeting, Peters & Associates was able to respond to staff
comments and provide a final traffic report which stated that the warrants for a left turn lane
were met, but only at the intersection of Huntsville Road and Morningside Drive. City
Engineering staff met with Peters & Associates and discussed their methodology and findings in
Mailing Address:

The length of this turn lane should be designed by the applicant's traffic engineer and include
adequate length for ALL left turn movements from Huntsville Road into this subdivision. This will
provide future capacity at the intersection should the city need to restrict left -turns into the
subdivision at the proposed new street intersections at some later date. The street section shall
incorporate on -street bike lanes as appropriate, and not create a break in the existing on -street
bicycle facility along Huntsville Road.
It must be noted that increasing traffic and turning movements due to the development could
result in increased rear -end collisions and congestion along Huntsville Road. However, this
increase will not create or exacerbate a dangerous traffic condition to the extent that turn lanes
are warranted at these new intersections.

Dear Mrs. Smith,
Please consider this letter an official appeal of the NovemVr 28th, 2016 decision of the Fayetteville
Y
Planning Commission to approve to PPL 16-5642 Preliminary Plat, Park Meadows Subdivision (NE of East
15th Street and Morningside Drive).
This appeal is based upon my view that a dangerous traffic condition exists in the Huntsville
Road/Morningside Drive area which will be compounded by the addition of 300+ vehicles driven onto
these and neighboring streets by property owners within the Park Meadows development. I would like
to give the City Planning staff more time to review and comment on the official traffic study of the area
completed by Peters Engineering. Such a review may result in recommendations of traffic abatement
strategies which in the end will save lives and prevent vehicular congestion and damage.
Sincerely yours,

RE: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of Preliminary Plat 1675642
(Park Meadows)
On a split vote, the Planning Commission approved Preliminary Plat 16-
5642 (Park Meadows) with many, but not all, street improvements recommended
by the Planning Department. This was appealed on the same ground as the Macey
Drive Apartments had originally been denied by the Planning Commission: an
allegation that "the proposed development would create or compound a
dangerous traffic condition." This is the only issue the City Council may consider
in this appeal.
The Unified Development Code further defines what a "dangerous traffic
condition' means.
"(A) dangerous traffic condition shall be construed to mean a traffic
condition in which the risk of accidents involving motor vehicles is
significant due to factors such as, but not limited to, high traffic
volume, topography, or the nature of the traffic pattern." Id.
Although the developer agreed (and was required by the Planning
Commission) to pay its share of a proposed future traffic light at Huntsville and
Morningside with intersection improvements including a left turn lane on
Huntsville, major improvements to Morningside, two streets intersecting
Huntsville east of Morningside and one street intersecting Highway 16 East (15th
Street) east of Morningside, the Planning Department had also recommended
widening Huntsville for a continuous left turn lane for about 800 feet east of
Morningside.
Such widening would destroy 800 feet of the new sidewalk just finished by
our Transportation Department along Huntsville Road and require moving the
existing bike lane from Huntsville to be replaced by a multiuse trail along the
northern border of Park Meadows subdivision. Planning recommended that all of
this widening and the new multiuse trail not only be dedicated on the developer's
land, but be built and paid for by the developer.
These costs could exceed One Million Dollars for this 290 home subdivision
which I believe is significantly more than what has been required of any similarly
sized housing development. These required improvements are called an exaction.
We need to ensure this exaction does not exceed the rough proportionality of the
impact of these new homes on the city infrastructure, in this case, adjoining streets.
A traffic study had been conducted by the developer at the last moment
upon request by the Planning staff or the Planning Commission. What this study
establishes or even means was a matter of discussion by City Engineering staff or
the developer's engineer. With this appeal, this traffic study can be more closely
analyzed by these engineers. Please listen to the engineers as the experts in this
field as part of the basis of your decision.
Attached is a copy of my February 9, 2007 memo on approval/ rejection
criteria for preliminary plats by the City Council. This outlines the legal tests you
must use which have remained unchanged for at least 14 years. The key
requirement that you must keep in mind is this rule decreed by the Arkansas
Supreme Court:
"When a subdivision ordinance specifies minimum standards to
which a preliminary plat must conform, it is arbitrary as a matter of
law to deny approval of a plat that meets those standards."

DATE: February 9, 2007
RE: Approval/Rejection of Large Scale Developments and
Preliminary Plats and Downzoing Residential Property
APPROVAL OF LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENTS
The Planning Commission and (on appeal) the City Council can be faced
with strong neighborhood opposition to a Large Scale Development (LSD) or
Preliminary Plat with compelling arguments that the proposal is incompatible
with the existing neighborhood, too dense, likely to devalue adjoining homes,
etc. At least as early as June 11, 2002, I have had to inform you that these type
of arguments may not be considered when determining whether to approve or
reject a Preliminary Plat or LSD.
Attached are my memos of June 22, 2002; October 22, 2002; November
5, 2002; May 11, 2004; and November 10, 2005. All these memos state the
same legal requirement. Both the Planning Commission and the City Council
must follow the dictates of the Unified Development Code (enacted by the City
Council).
We elected officials all took the oath of office promising to abide by the
Arkansas Constitution and faithfully fulfill the duties of our offices (which I
understand to mean to obey the law as determined by our highest authority, the
Arkansas Supreme Court).
The Arkansas Supreme Court has clearly held:
"When a subdivision ordinance specifies minimum
standards to which a preliminary plat must conform,
it is arbitrary as a matter of law to deny approval of
a plat that meets those standards." Richardson v. City
of Little Rock Planning Commission, 295 Ark. 189, 747
S.W. 2d 116, 117 (1988).
The six factors you have enacted into the UDC that can be considered
are found in § 166.05 C.7.d.
"d. The Subdivision Committee or Planning
Commission may refuse to approve a large scale
development or preliminary plat for any of
the following reasons:
(1). The preliminary plat or development plan is not
submitted in accordance with the requirements of
this section.
(2). The proposed development would violate a City-
ordinance,
ityordinance, a State statute, or a Federal statute.
(3). The developer refuses to dedicate the street
right-of-way, utility easements or drainage
easements required by this chapter.
(4). The proposed development would create or
compound a dangerous traffic condition. For the
purpose of this section, a "dangerous" traffic
condition shall be construed to mean a traffic
condition in which the risk of accidents involving
motor vehicles is significant due to factors such as,
but not limited to, high traffic volume, topography,
or the nature of the traffic pattern.
(5). City water and sewer is not readily available to the
property within the large scale development or preliminary
plat and the developer has made no provision for extending
such service to the development.
F
(6). The developer refuses to comply with subsection 7.b.
and c. pertaining to required on-site and off-site
improvements."
Any objection or reason to deny a Large Scale Development or
Preliminary Plat must be included within those six stated reasons to be valid. If
a proposed Large Scale Development or Preliminary Plat meets the minimum
standards of the Unified Development Code, it must be approved even if
every Commissioner . or every Alderman believes it is a terrible
development unanimously opposed by the neighbors.
Although the City Council has clear authority to amend the UDC and
change the factors that could be considered beyond the six currently enacted by
the City Council, until such an amendment occurs you must obey your current
Code of Ordinances.
"A city simply cannot pass procedural ordinances they
expect to be followed by their residents and then conveniently
ignore them themselves. A legislative body must
substantially comply with its own procedural policies."
Potocki v. City of Fort Smith, 279 Ark. 19, 648 S.W. 2d 462,
464 (1983). (emphasis added)
Similarly, the Arkansas Supreme Court agreed with the Pulaski County
Chancery Court that the Little Rock Board of Directors had acted arbitrarily,
capriciously and unreasonably in a rezoning case.
"(N)or does a city have to create a zoning ordinance or a land
use plan or adopt planned use districts or planned commercial
districts, but once it has done so it must follow the ordinance
until it is repealed or altered." City of Little Rock v. Pfeifer,
318 Ark. 679, 887 S.W. 2d 296, 298 (1994). (emphasis added)

DATE: December 13, 2016
SUBJECT: PPL 16-5642: Preliminary, Plat (NE OF 15TH & 'MORNINGSIDE
DR./PARK MEADOWS SD, 564): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL &
ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located NE OF 15TH & MORNINGSIDE
DR. The property is zoned with a mixture of NC, NEIGHBORHOOD
CONSERVATION, CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES, and RA,
RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL and contain approximately 68.00 acres.
The request is for 290 single-family lots.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission approved this proposed subdivision without a turn lane on Huntsville
Road as recommended by staff at the Planning Commission meeting. Adella Gray has appealed
this decision to City Council on behalf of a citizen.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property contains 68 acres located on the east side of Morningside Drive between
Huntsville Road and 1511 Street. A small portion of the parcel extends to the south side of 15th
Street. The property is undeveloped pasture, and remains in agricultural use. The site contains
flood plain, and a string of ponds that become a protected stream immediately to the south. These
valuable natural resources are classified as Natural Area on the 2030 Future Land Use Plan. The
property was recently rezoned to CS, Community Services, NC, Neighborhood Conservation, and
R -A, Residential Agricultural. The property is subject to a Bill of Assurance to protect and limit
disturbance to the riparian corridor that flows north -south through the site.
Request: The proposal is to develop the site with a 290 residential lot subdivision.
Public Comments: At the November 17, 2016 Subdivision Committee and November 28, 2016
Planning Commission meeting several members of the public spoke about a number of issues,
primarily centered around traffic safety. A copy of the meeting minutes from Planning Commission
meeting are attached.
DISCUSSION:
At the November 28, 2016 Planning Commission, discussion centered around street
improvements and traffic safety. After approximately two hours of discussion and two motions,
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
the project was approved by a vote of 6-3-0 (Commissioners Cook, Hoffman, and Quinlan voted
`no'). The following street improvements were required with the approval:
Street improvements required by Planning Commission:
1. Improve Morningside Drive as recommended by staff.
2. No improvements to Huntsville Road except for a turn lane at the intersection of
Morningside Drive.
3. Payment of assessment for proportional contribution to a traffic signal at
Huntsville/Morningside with payment by project phase as recommended by staff.
4. No multi -use trail improvements are required to be constructed by the applicant.
Dedication of land to the city for the planned multi -use trail internal to the site to be
provided to the city in a fee simple transaction prior to final plat. The applicant shall be
given parkland credit for the dedication of land for this trail.
Turn lane recommended by City staff:
After a brief review of the draft traffic study provided just prior to the Planning Commission
meeting, staff recommended that a center turn lane be provided into the site's two access
points on Huntsville Road. At the time of the Planning Commission meeting, staff had
concerns that a potentially dangerous traffic condition could be created by this subdivision
without a turn lane. The applicant opposed this recommendation and the Planning
Commission agreed with the applicant.
After the Planning Commission, the applicant's traffic engineer finalized the traffic study and met
with staff to discuss the findings. The City Engineering Division has provided a technical memo
(attached) evaluating the final traffic study.

Peters & Associates Engineers, Inc., has conducted a traffic
engineering study relating to a proposed single-family resi-
dential development (Park Meadows) in Fayetteville, Arkan-
sas. The development is proposed to consist of an approxi-
mate 290 lot single-family residential subdivision to be lo-
cated on the south side of Huntsville Road and on the east
side of Morningside Drive. E. 15th Street is along the south
side of the site. Access to the site is proposed via two new
streets to intersect Huntsville Road (Street "F" and Street
"L") and four new streets to intersect Morningside Drive
(Street "K", Street "E", Street "Y' and Street `B"). The pri-
mary focus of this report is to assess traffic operational char-
acteristics of the nearby intersection of Huntsville Road and
Morningside Drive and the proposed new street intersections
along Huntsville Road and along Morningside Drive.
Existing 24-hour traffic counts were made in the vicinity of
the development at the approaches to the intersection of
Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive. Existing vehicle turn-
ing movement counts were also gathered by this consultant
for the intersection of Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive
during the AM and PM peak hours.
Projected vehicle traffic volumes were calculated for the pro-
posed residential development. These projected site -
generated vehicle trips were added to the existing traffic vol-
umes. Existing and projected traffic volumes at the study in-
tersections were calculated and traffic operations were ana-
lyzed.
Findings of this study are summarized as follows:
• Approximately 2,761 vehicle trips (combined in and out)
per average weekday are projected to be generated by the
proposed residential subdivision at full build. Of this to-
tal, approximately 218 vehicle trips are estimated during
the traffic conditions of the AM peak hour and approxi-
mately 290 vehicle trips are estimated during the traffic
conditions of the PM peak hour.

• All vehicle movements for existing traffic conditions at
the study intersection of Huntsville Road and Morning-
side Drive presently operate at what calculates as an ac-
ceptable LOS "D" or better for the AM and PM peak
hours.
• All vehicle movements for the projected traffic condi-
tions at the study intersections are expected to operate at
what calculates as an acceptable LOS "D" or better for -
the AM and PM peak hours except for the northbound
vehicle movements on Morningside Drive at Huntsville
Road during the AM peak hour (LOS "E"). The 95th
percentile calculated vehicle queue length for the
northbound Morningside Drive approach to Huntsville
Road is only 90 feet, and the average vehicle delay for
that vehicle movement is only 49 seconds per vehicle.
Furthermore, the average seconds per vehicle delay and
intersection capacity utilization are expected to continue
to operate at acceptable levels with existing lane geome-
try and "Stop" sign control for the intersection of Hunts-
ville Road and Morningside Drive during the AM and
PM peak hours for these projected traffic conditions.
• It was found that traffic signal warrants are not projected
to be met for the intersection of Huntsville Road and
Morningside Drive with projected traffic volumes asso-
ciated with the Park Meadows development as proposed.
Traffic signal warrants analysis for this intersection indi-
cates volumes are not expected to be sufficient to satisfy
any warrants at the completion of the development.
• It was found that a westbound left -turn lane on Hunts-
ville Road at Morningside Drive is not warranted for the
AM peak hour. AM peak hour westbound left -turn vol-
ume is only 1.5 percent of the westbound approach vol-
ume. Furthermore, this projected left -turn volume is
only 14 vehicles during the AM peak hour.
PETERS & ASSOCIATES
ENGINEERS. INC. Page 2
I
• It was found that the PM peak hour westbound left -turn
volume on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive is 5.8
percent of the westbound approach volume. With the
eastbound approaching volume of 833 vehicles during
the PM peak hour, the 444 advancing volume is greater
than the threshold volume of 136 vehicles posted on Ta-
ble 4-27 referenced in this report. This result indicates a
westbound left -turn lane on Huntsville Road approach to
Morningside Drive projected to be warranted. The Table
4-27 values are based on 40 miles per hour. However,
the table does not provide data for the much lower
posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The projected
left -turn volume is only 23 vehicles during the PM peak
hour and the westbound vehicle movements are expected
to operate acceptably with or without the addition of a
westbound left -turn lane at this location. All westbound
thru / left -turn vehicle movements for the projected traf-
fic conditions on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive
are expected to continue to operate at what calculates as
an acceptable LOS "A" for the AM and PM peak hours
as indicated by the capacity and level of service calcula-
tions conducted as a part oft his study. A westbound
left -turn lane on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive
is found to be warranted but not be necessary for accept-
able traffic operations with full build -out of the proposed
Park Meadows development. Also, with left -turn vol-
umes even lower on Huntsville Road at Street "L" and at
Street "I"' than at Morningside Drive, left -turn lanes are
not expected to be warranted or necessary at these loca-
tions with maximum left -turn volumes of only 7 and 9
vehicles respectively during the PM peak hour.

The proposed development is within the city limits of Fa-
yetteville in Washington County, Arkansas. The develop-
ment is proposed to be located on the south side of Hunts-
ville Road and on the east side of Morningside Drive. E.
15th Street is along the south side of the site. The proposed
development site location and vicinity are shown on Figures
1 and 2, which follow.
Access to the site is proposed via two new streets to intersect
Huntsville Road (Street "F" and Street "L") and four new
streets to intersect Morningside Drive (Street "K", Street
"E", Street "J" and Street `B"). This development, as shown
on the attached site plan, calls for the construction of 290
single-family residential lots plus new streets proposed to
serve the site.
Huntsville Road, in the vicinity of Morningside Drive, is a
two-lane roadway. On the north and south side of Huntsville
Road, east of Morningside Drive, there is a bike lane in the
roadway (plus a separate sidewalk along the south side).

The Trip Generation, an Informational Report, published by
the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and The Trip
Generation Manual by Trafficware, LLC (9th Edition), 2012,
were utilized in calculating the magnitude of traffic volumes
expected to be generated by full build -out of the proposed
land -use of a 290 single-family lot residential development.
These are reliable sources for this information and are uni-
versally used in the traffic engineering profession.
Using the selected trip generation rates, calculations were
made as a part of this study to provide a reliable estimate of
traffic volumes that can be expected to be associated with the
proposed full build -out of the development of the proposed
Park Meadows. These calculations entail applying the appro-
priate trip -generation rates to the land use proposed for the
development. Results of these calculations are summarized
on Table 3, "Summary of Trip Generation."

These calculations indicate that approximately 2,761 vehicle
trips (combined in and out) per average weekday are pro-
jected to be generated by the proposed residential lots land
use on this site. Of this total, approximately 218 vehicle
trips are estimated during the traffic conditions of the AM
peak hour and approximately 290 vehicle trips are estimated
during the traffic conditions of the PM peak hour.
Residential traffic, as will be the traffic associated with this
site, ordinarily does contribute to the adjacent street traffic
conditions during the on -street AM peak traffic hour and the
PM peak traffic hour. Accordingly, -the AM and PM peak
traffic periods of the adjacent streets in the immediate vicin-
ity of the site are the traffic operating conditions which have
warranted primary traffic analysis as a part of this study.

Once projected traffic was estimated for the site, directional
distributions were made to reflect the percent of thru, left
and right -turns at the study intersections and new site streets
proposed to serve the site. Directional distribution percent-
ages used in this report are shown on Figure 4, "Directional
Distribution - Site Traffic."
PETERS & ASSOCIATES
ENGINEERS, INC.
Page 14

The directional distribution percentages for site traffic have
been equated to percentage turns for each movement at the
study intersections. The site -generated traffic volumes result
from applying the directional distribution percentages to the
corresponding projected site -generated traffic volumes sum-
marized on Table 3, "Summary of Trip -Generation." The
site -generated traffic volumes at the study intersections
along Huntsville Road are shown on Figure 5A, "Site -
Generated Traffic Volumes - AM Peak Hour," and Figure
513, "Site -Generated Traffic Volumes - PM Peak Hour."
The site -generated traffic volumes and corresponding exist-
ing background traffic volumes have been combined and the
results are depicted on Figure 6A, "Projected Traffic Vol-
umes - AM Peak Hour," and Figure 613, "Projected Traffic
Volumes - PM Peak Hour."
Traffic volumes shown on Figures 3A, 313, 6A and 6B are
the values used in capacity and level of service calculations
conducted as a part of this study. The effect of existing
background traffic (i.e. the adjacent street non -site traffic
which exists) and projected traffic associated with the site
development has thus been accounted for in this analysis.

Generally, the "capacity" of a street is a measure of its ability
to accommodate a certain magnitude of moving vehicles. It
is a rate as opposed to a quantity, measured in terms of vehi-
cles per hour. More specifically, street capacity refers to the
maximum number of vehicles that a street element (e.g. an
intersection) can be expected to accommodate in a given
time period under the prevailing roadway and traffic condi-
tions.
Traffic operational analysis for the study intersections were
evaluated based on the methodologies outlined in the High-
way Capacity Manual, 2010 Edition, published by the Trans-
portation Research Board. The operating conditions at an
intersection are graded by the "level of service" experienced
by drivers. Level of service (LOS) describes the quality of
traffic operating conditions and is rated from "A" to "F".
LOS "A" represents the most desirable condition with free-
flow movement of traffic with minimal delays. LOS "F"
generally indicates severely congested conditions with ex-
cessive delays to motorists. Intermediate grades of B, C, D,
and E reflect incremental increases in the average delay per
stopped vehicle. Delay is measured in seconds per vehicle.
The table below shows the upper -limit -of delay associated
with each level of service for signalized and un -signalized
intersections.

The LOS rating deemed acceptable varies by community,
facility type and traffic control device. LOS "D" is the desir-
able goal for movements at un -signalized intersections that
must yield to other movements; however, a LOS "E" or "F"
is often accepted for low to moderate traffic volumes where
the installation of a traffic signal is not warranted by the con-
ditions at the intersection or the location is deemed undesir-
able for signalization for other reasons. Other reasons may
include the close proximity of an existing traffic signal or the
presence of a convenient alternative route. For signalized
intersections, level of service and average delay relate to all
vehicles using the intersection. LOS "D" is the typical desir-
able standard for signalized intersections. All study intersec-
tions were evaluated using the Synchro analysis software
package based on Highway Capacity Manual methods. This
computer program has been proven to be reliable when used
to analyze capacity and levels of traffic service under various
operating conditions. Detailed results for all capacity calcu-
lations are included in the Appendix. The adjacent street
weekday AM and PM peak traffic periods were used for
these calculations. Factors included in the analysis are as
follows
• Existing traffic volumes and patterns.
• Directional distribution of projected traffic volumes.
• Existing and proposed intersection geometry (including
elements such as turn lanes, curb radii, etc.).
• Existing background traffic volumes and projected site -
generated volumes for projected traffic conditions.
• Existing or proposed traffic control.

CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Level of Service Analysis Results
Existing Traff c Conditions
Capacity and level of service analysis was performed for
existing traffic volumes, lane geometry and traffic control
for the AM and PM peak hours for the intersection of
Huntsville Road and Morningside Drive.
As indicated in Table 4, "Level of Service Summary — Ex-
isting Traffic Conditions," all vehicle movements for exist-
ing traffic conditions at the study intersection of Huntsville
Road and Morningside Drive presently operate at what cal-
culates as an acceptable LOS "D" or better for the AM and
PM peak hours.
Traffic volumes used for this analysis are shown on Figure
3A, "Existing Traffic Volumes - AM Peak Hour," and Fig-
ure 313, "Existing Traffic Volumes - PM Peak Hour."

Projected Traffic Conditions
Capacity and LOS analysis was performed for projected traf-
fic conditions for the AM and PM peak hours for the follow -
mg intersections:
• Huntsville Road and Morningside Drive
• Huntsville Road and Street "L"
• Huntsville Road and Street "F"
• Morningside Drive and Street "K"
• Morningside Drive and Street "E"
• Morningside Drive and Street "Y
• Morningside Drive and Street `B."
Traffic volumes used for analysis of projected traffic condi-
tions are shown on Figure 6A, "Projected Traffic Volumes -
AM Peak Hour," and Figure 613, "Projected Traffic Volumes
- PM Peak Hour." The operating conditions projected to ex-
ist at the study intersections are summarized in Table 5,
"Level of Service Summary - Projected Traffic Conditions."
As indicated in Table 5, all vehicle movements for the pro-
jected traffic conditions at the study intersections are ex-
pected to operate at what calculates as an acceptable LOS .
"D" or better for the AM and PM peak hours except for the
northbound vehicle movements on Morningside Drive at
Huntsville Road during the AM peak hour (LOS "E"). The
95th percentile calculated vehicle queue length for the
northbound Morningside Drive approach to Huntsville Road
is only 90 feet, and the average vehicle delay for that vehicle
movement is only 49 seconds per vehicle. Furthermore, the
average seconds per vehicle delay and intersection capacity
utilization are expected to continue to operate at acceptable
levels with existing lane geometry and "Stop" sign control
for the intersection of Huntsville Road and Morningside
Drive during the AM and PM peak hours for these projected
traffic conditions.

In evaluating the need for a traffic signal, certain established
warrants must be examined by a comprehensive investiga-
tion of traffic conditions and physical characteristics of the
location. The decision to install a traffic signal at a particu-
lar location must be evaluated quantitatively relative to these
warrants. These warrants, as specified in the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), are described
in detail in the appendix of this report. They are summarized
as follows:
♦ Warrant One: Eight -Hour Vehicular Volume
♦ Warrant Two: Four -Hour Vehicular Volume
♦ Warrant Three: Peak Hour
♦ Warrant Four: Pedestrian Volume
♦ Warrant Five: School Crossing
♦ Warrant Six: Coordinated Signal System
♦ Warrant Seven: Crash Experience
♦ Warrant Eight: Roadway Network
Traffic signal warrants analysis was made for projected traf-
fic conditions for the intersection of Huntsville Road and
Morningside Drive.

As stated in MUTCD Section 4C. 01, Studies Factors for Jus-
tifying Traffic Control Signals, the study should consider the
effects of the right -turn vehicles from the minor -street ap-
proaches. Engineeringjudgment should be used to deter-
mine what, if any, portion of the right -turn traffic is sub-
tracted from the minor -street traffic count when evaluating
the count against the signal warrants. As a part of the traffic
signal warrants analysis for the intersection of Huntsville
Road and Morningside Drive included in this study, none of
the northbound right -turns have been factored out for analy-
sis of projected traffic conditions to be conservative. _

side Drive with projected traffic volumes associated with the
Park Meadows development as proposed. Traffic signal war-

Currently, Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Depart-
ment (AHTD) nor the City of Fayetteville does not have spe-
cific design standards for warranting a left -turn lane. However,
there are some general guidelines in the traffic engineering in-
dustry that could serve as a basis for a decision by the City of
Fayetteville for the need for the addition of a left -turn lane by
analyzing the left -turn vehicle volumes vs the opposing vehicle
volumes. In evaluating the need for a westbound left -turn lane
on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive, auxiliary lane war-
rants for a left -turn lane on a two-lane highway were examined
using a method in the Kansas Department of Transportation
(KDOT) Access Management Policy in Section 4.5.2 - Auxil-
iary Lane Warrants - Left -Turn Lanes. A copy of Section 4.5.2
of the KDOT Access Management Policy is included in the Ap-
pendix of this report. This is a well established and accepted
method in analyzing the need for a left -turn lane. Section
4.5.2.a - Two -Lane Highways of the KDOT Access Manage-
ment Policy states the following:
4.5.2.a Two-lane highways
The four key data elements required for this analysis
are:
o Opposing volume (Vo) in vehicles per hour (vph)—
includes the right -turning and through vehicles in
the opposite direction ofthe left -turning vehicles.
o Advancing volume (Va) in vph—includes the right -
turn, left -turn, and through movements in the same
direction as the left -turning vehicles (do not include
right turns ifa dedicated right -turn lane exists).
o Speed in miles per hour (mph)—often indicated as
the operating speed 85th percentile speed (posted
speed is acceptable if the 85th percentile speed is
not available).
o Percentage of left turns in the advancing volume.
To use Table 4-27, do the following.
o Locate opposing traffic volume, Vo, and operating
speed on chart.
o Determine the percentage of the advancing volume
that is expected to turn left.

ENGINEERS. INC.
Page 26
f.
If the associated advancing traffic volume, Far is greater
than the value shown, then a left -turn lane is warranted.
As an example, for a two-lane highway with an opposing
volume of 600 vph, a speed of 50 -mph, a left -turn percent-
age of 10 percent, and an advancing volume of 200 vph, a
left -turn lane is warranted since 200 vph > 117 vph.

The posted speed limit on the two-lane highway of Hunts-
ville Road is 25 miles per hour in the vicinity Morningside
Drive. However, 40 miles per hour is the minimal speed
limit shown on Table 4-27 and is the value included in these
calculations. Projected traffic volumes during the AM and
PM Peak Hours are as follows:
AM Peak Hour
o Eastbound approach = 414 vehicles.
o Westbound left -turns = 14 vehicles.
o Westbound -advancing (includes left -turns) = 922 vehi-
cles.
AM peak hour westbound left -turn volume is only 1.5 per-
cent of the westbound approach volume and far less than the
minimum 5 percent left -turns shown on Table 4-27. Further-
more, this projected left -turn volume is only 14 vehicles dur-
ing the AM peak hour.
PM Peak Hour
o Eastbound approach = 833 vehicles.
o Westbound left -turns = 23 vehicles.
o Westbound thru = 444 vehicles.
It was found that the PM peak hour westbound left -turn vol-
ume on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive is 5.8 percent
of the westbound approach volume. With the eastbound ap-
proaching volume of 833 vehicles during the PM peak hour,
the 444 advancing volume is greater than the threshold vol-
urne of 136 vehicles posted on Table 4-27 referenced in this
section. This result indicates a westbound left -turn lane on
Huntsville Road approach to Morningside Drive projected to
be warranted. The Table 4-27 values are based on 40 miles
per hour. However, the table does not provide data for the
much lower posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The
projected left -turn volume is only 23 vehicles during the PM
peak hour and the westbound vehicle movements are ex-
pected to operate acceptably with or without the addition of a
westbound left -turn lane at this location. All westbound thru

/ left -turn vehicle movements for the projected traffic condi-
tions on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive are expected
to continue to operate at what calculates as an acceptable
LOS "A" for the AM and PM peak hours as indicated by the
capacity and level of service calculations conducted as a part
oft his study. A westbound left -turn lane on Huntsville Road
at Morningside Drive is found to be warranted but not be
necessary for acceptable traffic operations with full build -out
of the proposed Park Meadows development. Also, with
left -turn volumes even lower on Huntsville Road at Street
"L" and at Street "F" than at Morningside Drive, left -turn
lanes are not expected to be warranted or necessary at these
locations with maximum left -turn volumes of only 7 and 9
vehicles respectively during the PM peak hour.

Findings of this study are summarized as follows:
• Approximately 2,761 vehicle trips (combined in and out)
per average weekday are projected to be generated by the
proposed residential subdivision at full build. Of this total,
approximately 218 vehicle trips are estimated during the
traffic conditions of the AM peak hour and approximately
290 vehicle trips are estimated during the traffic conditions
of the PM peak hour.
• All vehicle movements for existing traffic conditions at the
study intersection of Huntsville Road and Morningside
Drive presently operate at what calculates as an acceptable
LOS "D" or better for the AM and PM peak hours.
All vehicle movements for the projected traffic conditions
at the study intersections are expected to operate at what
calculates as an acceptable LOS "D" or better for the AM
and PM peak hours except for the northbound vehicle
movements on Morningside Drive at Huntsville Road dur-
ing the ANI peak hour (LOS "E"). The 95th percentile cal-
culated vehicle queue length for the northbound Mo- ming -
side Drive approach to Huntsville Road is only 90 feet, and
the average vehicle delay for that vehicle movement is only
49 seconds per vehicle. Furthermore, the average seconds
per vehicle delay and intersection capacity utilization are
expected to continue to operate at acceptable levels with
existing lane geometry and "Stop" sign control for the in-
tersection of Huntsville Road and Morningside Drive dur-
ing the AM and PM peak hours for these projected traffic
conditions.
• It was found that traffic signal warrants are not projected to
be met for the intersection of Huntsville Road and Morn-
ingside Drive with projected traffic volumes associated
with the Park Meadows development as proposed. Traffic
signal warrants analysis for this intersection indicates vol-
umes are expected to not be sufficient to satisfy any war-
rants at the completion of the development.

• It was found that a westbound left -turn lane on Huntsville
Road at Morningside Drive is not warranted for the AM peak
hour. AM peak hour westbound left -turn volume is only 1.5
percent of the westbound approach volume. Furthermore, this
projected left -turn volume is only 14 vehicles during the AM
peak hour.
• It was found that the PM peak hour westbound left -turn vol-
ume on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive is 5.8 percent
of the westbound approach volume. With the eastbound ap-
proaching volume of 833 vehicles during the PM peak hour,
the 444 advancing volume is greater than the threshold vol-
ume of 136 vehicles posted on Table 4-27 referenced in this
report. This result indicates a westbound left -turn lane on
Huntsville Road approach to Morningside Drive projected to
be warranted. The Table 4-27 values are based on 40 miles

jected left -turn volume is only 23 vehicles during the PM
peak hour and the westbound vehicle movements are ex-
pected to operate acceptably with or without the addition of a
westbound left -turn lane at this location. All westbound thru /
left -turn vehicle movements for the projected traffic condi-
tions on Huntsville Road at Morningside Drive are expected
to continue to operate at what calculates as an acceptable LOS
"A" for the AM and PM peak hours as indicated by the capac-
ity and level of service calculations conducted as a part oft his

tively during the PM peak hour.

CHAPTER 4C. TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL NEEDS STUDIES
Section 4C.01 Studies and Factors for .Iustifying Traffic Control Signals
Standard:
01 An engineering study of traffic conditions, pedestrian characteristics, and physical characteristics of
the location shall be performed to determine whether installation of a traffic control signal is justified at a
particular location.
02 The investigation of the need for a traffic control signal shall include an analysis of factors related to the
existing operation and safety at the study location and the potential to improve these conditions, and the
applicable factors contained in the following traffic signal warrants:
Warrant 1, Eight -Hour Vehicular Volume
Warrant 2, Four -Hour Vehicular Volume
Warrant 3, Peak Hour
Warrant 4, Pedestrian Volume
Warrant 5, School Crossing
Warrant 6, Coordinated Signal System
Warrant 7, Crash Experience
Warrant 8, Roadway Network
Warrant 9, Intersection Near a Grade Crossing
03 The satisfaction of a traffic signal warrant or warrants shall not in itself require the installation of a
traffic control signal.
Support:
04 Sections 8C.09 and 8C.10 contain information regarding the use of traffic control signals instead of gates and/
or flashing -light signals at highway -rail grade crossings and highway -light rail transit grade crossings, respectively.
Guidance:
05 A traffic control signal should not be installed unless one or more of the factors described in this
Chapter are met.
05 A traffic control signal should not be installed unless an engineering study indicates that installing a traffic
control signal will improve the overall safety and/or operation of the intersection.
07 A traffic control signal should not be installed if it will seriously disrupt progressive traffic flow.
08 The study should consider the effects of the right -turn vehicles from the minor -street approaches.
Engineering judgment should be used to determine what, if any, portion of the right -turn traffic is subtracted from
the minor -street traffic count when evaluating the count against the signal warrants listed in Paragraph 2.
09 Engineering judgment should also be used in applying various traffic signal warrants to cases where
approaches consist of one lane plus one left -turn or right -turn lane. The site-specific traffic characteristics
should dictate whether an approach is considered as one lane or two lanes. For example, for an approach with
one lane for through and right -turning traffic plus a left -turn lane, if engineering judgment indicates that it
should be considered a one -lane approach because the traffic using the left -turn lane is minor, the total traffic
volume approaching the intersection should be applied against the signal warrants as a one -lane approach.
The approach should be considered two lanes if approximately half of the traffic on the approach turns left and
the left -turn lane is of sufficient length to accommodate all left -turn vehicles.
10 Similar engineering judgment and rationale should be applied to a street approach with one through/left-turn
lane plus a right -turn lane. In this case, the degree of conflict of minor -street right -turn traffic with traffic on the
major street should be considered. Thus, right -turn traffic should not be included in the minor -street volume if
the movement enters the major street with minimal conflict. The approach should be evaluated as a one -lane
approach with only the traffic volume in the through/left-turn lane considered.
11 At a location that is under development or construction and where it is not possible to obtain a traffic count
that would represent future traffic conditions, hourly volumes should be estimated as part of an engineering
study for comparison with traffic signal warrants. Except for locations where the engineering study uses the
satisfaction of Warrant 8 to justify a signal, a traffic control signal installed under projected conditions should
have an engineering study done within 1 year of putting the signal into stop -and -go operation to determine if the
signal is justified. If not justified, the signal should be taken out of stop -and -go operation or removed.
12 For signal warrant analysis, a location with a wide median, even if the median width is greater than 30 feet,
should be considered as one intersection.
Sect. 4C.01 December 2009
2009 Edition Page 437
Option:
13 At an intersection with a high volume of left -turn traffic from the major street, the signal warrant analysis
may be performed in a manner that considers the higher of the major -street left -turn volumes as the "minor -street"
volume and the corresponding single direction of opposing traffic on the major street as the "major -street" volume.
14 For signal warrants requiring conditions to be present for a certain number of hours in order to be satisfied,
any four sequential 15 -minute periods may be considered as 1 hour if the separate 1 -hour periods used in the
warrant analysis do not overlap each other and both the major -street volume and the minor -street volume are for
the same specific one-hour periods.
15 For signal warrant analysis, bicyclists may be counted as either vehicles or pedestrians.
Support:
is When performing a signal warrant analysis, bicyclists riding in the street with other vehicular traffic are usually
counted as vehicles and bicyclists who are clearly using pedestrian facilities are usually counted as pedestrians.
Option:
17 Engineering study data may include the following:
A. The number of vehicles entering the intersection in each hour from each approach during 12 hours of an
average day. It is desirable that the hours selected contain the greatest percentage of the 24-hour traffic volume.
B. Vehicular volumes for each traffic movement from each approach, classified by vehicle type (heavy trucks,
passenger cars and light trucks, public -transit vehicles, and, in some locations, bicycles), during each
15 -minute period of the 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon during which total traffic
entering the intersection is greatest.
C. Pedestrian volume counts on each crosswalk during the same periods as the vehicular counts in Item B
and during -hours of highest pedestrian volume. Where young, elderly, and/or persons with physical or
visual disabilities need special consideration, the pedestrians and their crossing times may be classified by
general observation.
D. Information about nearby facilities and activity centers that serve the young, elderly, and/or persons with
disabilities, including requests from persons with disabilities for accessible crossing improvements at the
location under study. These persons might not be adequately reflected in the pedestrian volume count if
the absence of a signal restrains their mobility.
E. The posted or statutory speed limit or the 891 -percentile speed on the uncontrolled approaches to the location.
F. A condition diagram showing details of the physical layout, including such features as intersection
geometrics, channelization, grades, sight -distance restrictions, transit stops and routes, -parking conditions,
pavement markings, roadway lighting, driveways, nearby railroad crossings, distance to nearest traffic
control signals, utility poles and fixtures, -and adjacent land use.
G. A collision diagram showing crash experience by type, location, direction of movement, severity, weather,
time of day, date, and day of week for at least 1 year.
is The following data, which are desirable for a more precise understanding of the operation of the intersection,
may be obtained during the periods described in Item B of Paragraph 17:
A. Vehicle -hours of stopped time delay determined separately for each approach.
B. The number and distribution of acceptable gaps in vehicular traffic on the major street for entrance from
the minor street.
C. The posted or statutory speed limit or the 85t1 -percentile speed on controlled approaches at a point near to
the intersection but unaffected by the control.
D. Pedestrian delay time for at least two 30-ininute peak pedestrian delay periods of an average weekday or
like periods of a Saturday or Sunday.
E. Queue length on stop -controlled approaches.
Section 4C.02 Warrant 1, Eight -Hour Vehicular Volume
Support:
01 The Minimum Vehicular Volume, Condition A, is intended for application at locations where a large volume of
intersecting traffic is the principal reason to consider installing a traffic control signal.
02 The Interruption of Continuous Traffic, Condition B, is intended for application at locations where Condition A
is not satisfied and where the traffic volume on a major street is so heavy that traffic on a minor intersecting street
suffers excessive delay or conflict in entering or crossing the major street.
03 It is intended that Warrant 1 be treated as a single warrant. If Condition A is satisfied, then Warrant l is
satisfied and analyses of Condition B and the combination of Conditions A and B are not needed. Similarly, if
Condition B is satisfied, then Warrant 1 is satisfied and an analysis of the combination of Conditions A and B is
not needed.
December 2009 Sect. 4C.0I to 4C.02
Page 438 2009 Edition
Standard:
04 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that one of the
following conditions exist for each of any 8 hours of an average day:
A. The vehicles per hour given in both of the 100 percent columns of Condition A in Table 4C-1 exist on
the major -street and the higher -volume minor -street approaches, respectively, to the intersection; or
B. The vehicles per hour given in both of the 100 percent columns of Condition B in Table 4C-1 exist on
the major -street and the higher -volume minor -street approaches, respectively, to the intersection.
In applying each condition the major -street and minor -street volumes shall be for the same 8 hours. On
the minor street, the higher volume shall not be required to be on the same approach during each of
these 8 hours.
Option:
05 If the posted or statutory speed limit or the 85th -percentile speed on the major street exceeds 40 mph, or if
the intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000, the
traffic volumes in the 70 percent columns in Table 4C-1 may be used in place of the 100 percent columns.
Guidance:
06 The combination of Conditions A and B is intended for application 'at locations where Condition A is not
.satisfied and Condition B is not satisfied and should be applied only after an adequate trial of other alternatives
that could cause less delay and inconvenience to traffic has failed to solve the traffic problems.
Standard:
07 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that both of the
following conditions exist for each of any 8 hours of an average day:
A. The vehicles per hour given in both of the 80 percent columns of Condition A in Table 4C-1 exist on
the major -street and the higher -volume minor -street approaches, respectively, to the intersection; and
B. The vehicles per hour given in both of the 80 percent columns of Condition B in Table 4C-1 exist on
the major -street and the higher -volume minor -street approaches, respectively, to the intersection.
These major -street and minor -street volumes shall be for the same 8 hours for each condition; however,
the 8 hours satisfied in Condition A shall not be_ required to be the same 8 hours satisfied in Condition B.
On the minor street, the higher volume shall not be required to be on the same approach during each of
the 8 hours.

Option:
08 If the posted or statutory speed limit or the 85th -percentile speed on the major street exceeds 40 mph, or if
the intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000, the
traffic volumes in the 56 percent columns in Table 4C-1 may be used in place of the 80 percent columns.
Section 4C.03 Warrant 2, Four -Hour Vehicular Volume
Support:
01 The Four -Hour Vehicular Volume signal warrant conditions are intended to be applied where the volume of
intersecting traffic is the principal reason to consider installing a traffic control signal.
Standard:
02 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that, for each of
any 4 hours of an average day, the plotted points representing the vehicles per hour on the major street
(total of both approaches) and the corresponding vehicles per hour on the higher -volume minor -street
approach (one direction only) all fall above the applicable curve in Figure 4C-1 for the existing combination
of approach lanes. On the minor street, the higher volume shall not be required to be on the same approach
during each of these 4 hours.
Option:
03 If the posted or statutory speed limit or the 85th -percentile speed on the major street exceeds 40 mph, or if the
intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000,
Figure 4C-2 may be used in place of Figure 4C-1.
Section 4C.04 ,Warrant 3, Peak Hour
Support:
01 The Peak Hour signal warrant is intended for use at a location where traffic conditions are such that for a
minimum of l hour of an average day, the minor -street traffic suffers undue delay when entering or crossing the
major street.
Standard:
02 This signal warrant shall be applied only in -unusual cases, such as office complexes, manufacturing
plants, industrial complexes, or high -occupancy vehicle facilities that attract or discharge large numbers of
vehicles over a short time.
03 The need for a traffic control signal shall be- considered if an engineering study finds that the criteria in
either of the following two categories are met:
A. If all three of the following conditions exist for the same 1 hour (any four consecutive 15 -minute
periods) of an average day:
1. The total stopped time delay experienced by the traffic on one minor -street approach (one
direction only) controlled by a STOP sign equals or exceeds: 4 vehicle -hours for a one -lane
approach or 5 vehicle -hours for a two-lane approach; and
2. The volume on the same minor -street approach (one direction only) equals or exceeds 100 vehicles
per hour for one moving lane of traffic or 150 vehicles per hour for two moving lanes; and
3. The total entering volume serviced during the hour equals or exceeds 650 vehicles per hour for
intersections with three approaches or 800 vehicles per hour for intersections with four or more
approaches.
B. The plotted point representing the vehicles per hour on the major street (total of.both approaches)
and the corresponding vehicles per hour on the higher -volume minor -street approach (one
direction only) for 1 hour (any four consecutive 15 -minute periods) of an average day falls above the
applicable curve in Figure 4C-3 for the existing combination of approach lanes.
Option:
04 If the posted or statutory speed limit or the 85th -percentile speed on the major street exceeds 40 mph, or if
the intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000,
Figure 4C-4 may be used in place of Figure 4C-3 to evaluate the criteria in the second category of the Standard.
05 If this warrant is the only warrant met and a traffic control signal is justified by an engineering study, the
traffic control signal may be operated in the flashing mode during the hours that the volume criteria of this warrant
are not met.
Guidance:
06 If this warrant is the only warrant met and a traffic control signal is justified by an engineering study, the
traffic control signal should be traffic -actuated.

Section 4C.05 Warrant 4, Pedestrian Volume
Support:
01 The Pedestrian Volume signal warrant is intended for application where the traffic volume on a major street is
so heavy that pedestrians experience excessive delay in crossing the major street.
Standard:
02 The need for a traffic control signal at an intersection or midblock crossing shall be considered if an
engineering study finds that one of the following criteria is met:
A. For each of any 4 hours of an average day, the plotted points representing the vehicles per hour on
the major street (total of both approaches) and the corresponding pedestrians per hour crossing the
major street (total of all crossings) all fall above the curve in Figure 4C-5; or
B. For 1 hour (any four consecutive 15 -minute periods) of an average day, the plotted point
representing the vehicles per hour on the major street (total of both approaches) and the
corresponding pedestrians per hour crossing the major street (total of all crossings) falls above the
curve in Figure 4C-7.
Option:
03 If the posted or statutory speed limit or the 85th -percentile speed on the major street exceeds 35 mph, or if the
intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000,
Figure 4C-6 may be used in place of Figure 4C-5 to evaluate Criterion A in Paragraph 2, and Figure 4C-8 may be
used in place of Figure 4C-7 to evaluate Criterion B in Paragraph 2.
Standard:
04 The Pedestrian Volume signal warrant shall not be applied at locations where the distance to the
nearest traffic control signal or STOP sign controlling the street that pedestrians desire to cross is less
than 300 feet, unless the proposed traffic control signal will not restrict the progressive movement of traffic.
05 If this warrant is met and a traffic control signal is justified by an engineering study, the traffic control
signal shall be equipped with pedestrian signal heads complying with the provisions set forth in Chapter 4E.
Guidance:
06 If this warrant is met and a traffic control signal is justified by an engineering study, then:
A. If it is installed at an intersection or major driveway location, the traffic control signal should also
control the minor -street or driveway traffic, should be traffic -actuated, and should include pedestrian
detection.
B. If it is installed at a non -intersection crossing, the traffic control signal should be installed at least
I00 feet from side streets or driveways that are controlled by STOP or YIELD signs, and should be
pedestrian -actuated. If the traffic control signal is installed at a non -intersection crossing, at least one of
the signal faces should be over the traveled way for each approach, parking and other sight obstructions
should be prohibited for at least 100 feet in advance of and at least 20 feet beyond the crosswalk or site
accommodations should be made through curb extensions or other techniques to provide adequate sight
distance, and the installation should include suitable standard signs and pavement markings.
C. Furthermore, if it is installed within a signal system, the traffic control signal should be coordinated.
Option:
07 The criterion for the pedestrian volume crossing the major street may be reduced as much as 50 percent if the
15th -percentile crossing speed of pedestrians is less than 3.5 feet per second.
os A traffic control signal may not be needed at the study location if adjacent coordinated traffic control signals
consistently provide gaps of adequate length for pedestrians to cross the street.
Section 4C.06 Warrant 5, School Crossing
Support:
01 The School Crossing signal warrant is intended for application where the fact that schoolchildren cross the
major street is the principal reason to consider installing a traffic control signal. For the purposes of this warrant,
the word "schoolchildren" includes elementary through high school students.
Standard:
02 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered when an engineering study of the frequency
and adequacy of gaps in the vehicular traffic stream as related to the number and size of groups of
schoolchildren at an established school crossing across the major street shows that the number of adequate
gaps in the traffic stream during the period when the schoolchildren are using the crossing is less than the
number of minutes in the same period (see Section 7A.03) and there are a minimum of 20 schoolchildren
during the highest crossing hour.

03 Before a decision is made to install a traffic control signal, consideration shall be given to the
implementation of other remedial measures, such as warning signs and flashers, school speed zones, school
crossing guards, or a grade -separated crossing.
04 The School Crossing signal warrant shall not be applied at locations where the distance to the nearest
traffic control signal along the major street is less than 300 feet, unless the proposed traffic control signal
will not restrict the progressive movement of traffic.
Guidance:
05 If this warrant is met and a traffic control signal is justified by an engineering study, then:
A. If it is installed at an intersection or major driveway location, the traffic control signal should
also control the minor -street or driveway traffic, should be traffic -actuated, and should include
pedestrian detection.
B. If it is installed at a non -intersection crossing, the traffic control signal should be installed at least
100 feet from side streets or driveways that are controlled by STOP or YIELD signs, and should be
pedestrian -actuated. If the traffic control signal is installed at a non -intersection crossing, at least one of
the signal faces should be over the traveled way for each approach, parking and other ,sight obstructions
should be prohibited for at least 100 feet in advance of and at least 20 feet beyond the crosswalk or site
accommodations should be made through curb extensions or other techniques to provide adequate sight
distance, and the installation should include suitable standard signs and pavement markings.
C. Furthermore, if it is installed within a signal system, the traffic control signal should be coordinated.
Section 4C.07 Warrant 6, Coordinated Signal System
Support:
01 Progressive movement in a coordinated signal system sometimes necessitates installing traffic control signals
at intersections where they would not otherwise be needed in order to maintain proper platooning of vehicles.
Standard:
02 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that one of the
following criteria is met:
A. On a one-way street or a street that has traffic predominantly in one direction, the adjacent
traffic control signals are so far apart that they do not provide the necessary degree of vehicular
platooning.
B. On a two-way street, adjacent traffic control signals do not provide the necessary degree of
platooning and the proposed and adjacent traffic control signals will collectively provide a
progressive operation.
Guidance:
03 The Coordinated Signal System signal warrant should not be applied where the resultant spacing of traffic
control .signals would be less than 1,000 feet.
Section 4C.08 Warrant 7, Crash Experience
Support:
01 The Crash Experience signal warrant conditions are intended for application where the severity and frequency
of crashes are the principal reasons to consider installing a traffic control signal.
Standard:
02 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that all of the
following criteria are met:
A. Adequate trial of alternatives with satisfactory observance and enforcement has failed to reduce the
crash frequency; and
B. Five or more reported crashes, of types susceptible to correction by a traffic control signal, have
occurred within a 12 -month period, each crash involving personal injury or property damage
apparently exceeding the applicable requirements for a reportable crash; and
C. For each of any 8 hours of an average day, the vehicles per hour (vph) given in both of the 80 percent
columns of Condition A in Table 4C-1 (see Section 4C.02), or the vph in both of the 80 percent
columns of Condition B in Table 4C-1 exists on the major -street and the higher -volume minor -street
approach, respectively, to the intersection, or the volume of pedestrian traffic is not less than 80
percent of the requirements specified in the Pedestrian Volume warrant. These major -street and
minor -street volumes shall be for the same 8 hours. On the minor street, the higher volume shall
not be required to be on the same approach during each of the 8 hours.
December 2009 Sect. 4C.06 to 4C.08
Page 446
2009 Edition
Option:
03 If the posted or statutory speed limit or the 85th -percentile speed on the major street exceeds 40 mph, or if
the intersection lies within the built-up area of an isolated community having a population of less than 10,000, the
traffic volumes in the 56 percent columns in Table 4C-1 may be used in place of the 80 percent columns.
Section 4C.09 Warrant 8, Roadway Network
Support:
01 Installing a traffic control signal at some intersections might be justified to encourage concentration and
organization of traffic flow on a roadway network.
Standard:
02 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that the common
intersection of two or more major routes meets one or both of the following criteria:
A. The intersection has a total existing, or immediately projected, entering volume of at least 1,000
vehicles per hour during the peak hour of a typical weekday and has 5 -year projected traffic
volumes, based on an engineering study, that meet one or more of Warrants 1, 2, and 3 during an
average weekday; or
B. The intersection has a total existing or immediately projected entering volume of at least 1,000
vehicles per hour for each of any 5 hours of a non -normal business day (Saturday or Sunday).
03 A major route as used in this signal warrant shall have at least one of the following characteristics:
A. It is part of the street or highway system that serves as the principal roadway network for through
traffic flow.
B. It includes rural or suburban highways outside, entering, or traversing a city.
C. It appears as a major route on an official plan, such as a major street plan in an urban area traffic
and transportation study.
Section 4C.10 Warrant 9, Intersection Near a Grade Crossing
Support:
01 The Intersection Near a Grade Crossing signal warrant is intended for use at a location where none of the
conditions described in the other eight traffic signal warrants are met, but the proximity to the intersection of a
grade crossing on an intersection approach controlled by a STOP or Y1ELD sign is the principal reason to consider
installing a traffic control signal.
Guidance:
02 This signal warrant should be applied only after adequate consideration has been given to other alternatives
or after a trial of an alternative has failed to alleviate the safety concerns associated with the grade crossing.
Among the alternatives that should be considered or tried are:
A. Providing additional pavement that would enable vehicles to clear the track or that would provide space
for an evasive maneuver, or
B. Reassigning the stop controls at the intersection to make the approach across the track a
non -stopping approach.
Standard:
03 The need for a traffic control signal shall be considered if an engineering study finds that both of the
following criteria are met:
A. A grade crossing exists on an approach controlled by a STOP or YIELD sign and the center of the
track nearest to the intersection is within 140 feet of the stop line or yield line on the approach; and
B. During the highest traffic volume hour during which rail traffic uses the crossing, the plotted
point representing the vehicles per hour on the major street (total of both approaches) and the
corresponding vehicles per hour on the minor -street approach that crosses the track (one direction
only, approaching the intersection) falls above the applicable curve in Figure 4C-9 or 4C-10 for the
existing combination of approach lanes over the track and the distance D, which is the clear storage
distance as defined in Section 1A.13.
Guidance:
04 The following considerations apply when plotting the traffic volume data on Figure 4C-9 or 4C-10:
A. Figure 4C-9 should be used if there is only one lane approaching the intersection at the track crossing
location and Figure 4C-10 should be used if there are two or more lanes approaching the intersection at
the track crossing location.

Left-Turn Lane Analysis
KDOTAccess Management Policy
4.5.2 Auxiliary lane warrants—left-turn lanes
A three -tiered warrant criterion was developed by the AMU based upon research performed by
national access management researcher, for this AMP update.'
Safety warrant—The safety criterion is triggered if one of the following occurs:
An existing access point (public intersection or driveway) has a crash rate (crashes per
10 million entering vehicles) statistically significant above the statewide average (critical
crash rate).
A proposed access point (public intersection or driveway) is located within an existing
highway corridor with a crash rate (crashes per million vehicle miles traveled) statistically
significant above the statewide average (critical crash rate).
/ - 3rn of urn/rear-end crashes is present at an existing access point along a corridor
anu ine addition of a left -turn lane would be expected to reduce those crashes.
Special circi races warrant The special circumstances criterion is triggered if one of the
following occurs:
Consider the construction of left turn lanes at locations where site geometry
(horizontal/vertical alignment, sight distance, access configuration, other) would improve
the operational and/or safety aspects of the highway.
Construct left -turn lanes at all new educational institutions and medical facilities located on
or adjacent to a highway with a posted speed limit of greater than 45 mph.
- Construct left -turn lanes when special circumstances known by the District Engineer are
present at the specific access location.
Operational warrant—The operational criterion is triggered if one of the following occurs:
Left -turn lane warrants for two-lane highways—Utilize the information provided in
Table 4-23 for guidance based on operations.
Left -turn lane warrants for four -lane highways—Utilize the information provided in
Table 4-24 for guidance based on operations.
4.5.2.a Two-lane highways
The four key data elements required for this analysis are:
Opposing volume (Vo) in vehicles per hour (vph)—includes the right -turning and through
vehicles in the opposite direction of the left -turning vehicles.
Advancing volume (V,,) in vph—includes the right -turn, left -turn, and through movements in
the same direction as the left -turning vehicles (do not include right turns if a dedicated right -
turn lane exists).
Speed in miles per hour (mph) --often indicated as the operating speed 85th -percentile speed
(posted speed is acceptable if the 85th -percentile speed is not available).
Percentage of left turns in the advancing volume

g
KDOTAccess Management Policy
To use Table 4-27, do the following:
Locate opposing traffic volume, Vo, and operating speed on chart
t, Determine the percentage of the advancing volume that is expected to turn left
If the associated advancing traffic volume, Va, is greater than the value shown, then a left -turn lane
is warranted. As an example, for a two-lane highway with an opposing volume of 600 vph, a speed
of 50 -mph, a left -turn percentage of 10 percent, and an advancing volume of 200 vph, a left -turn
lane is warranted since 200 vph > 117 vph.
4.5.2.b Four -lane highways
For four -lane highways, left -turn lanes are not warranted if the opposing volume, Vo, is less than
400 vph unless the advancing volume, Va, is greater than 400 vph. For values above these
thresholds, Table 4-28 can be used to assess four -lane undivided and four -lane divided highway
configurations.
An additional key data element required for this analysis is
Left -turn volume (VL ) in vph—the left -turn volume in the advancing direction during the peak
hour
To use Table 4-28, do the following:
0 Determine if the four -lane road is divided or undivided and select the applicable column
Identify the opposing traffic volume, Vo, and locate on the chart
If the corresponding left -turn volume, VL, is greater than the value shown, then a left -turn lane is
warranted. As an example, for an undivided four -lane highway with an opposing volume of 870
vph and a left -turn volume of 10 vph, a left -turn lane is warranted since 10 vph > 6 vph (the
corresponding VL). Note: for a divided highway with similar traffic volumes, the turn lane would
not be warranted since 10 vph < 14 vph (the corresponding VL). The divided highway is assumed
to allow at least one vehicle of storage in the median area resulting in less stringent warrant criteria.
KDOT follows a three -tiered warrant evaluation (safety, special circumstances, and
operational) when considering left -turn lanes at an access. Left -turn lanes should be
considered if one or more of the three warrants are met; however, meeting one or more of the
warrants does not require the installation of left -turn lanes.

4.5.3 Auxiliary lane design
As Figure 4-65 and Figure 4-66 illustrate, the length of an auxiliary lane has four parts—through-
lane taper, bay taper, deceleration length, and storage length. The width of auxiliary lanes for
either right- or left -turn lanes should equal the width of the through lanes (typically 12 feet). The
Traffic Engineering Section of KDOT's Bureau of Transportation Safety and Technology should
be contacted for details regarding the design of double left -turn auxiliary lanes (not covered in this
Policy).

4.5.3.a Right -turn lane design
The components of a right -turn lane including storage length, deceleration length and bay taper are
discussed in detail below.
Storage Length—The storage length is dependent on the traffic control condition at the access—
signalized or unsignalized.
Signalized—The storage length depends on the signal cycle length, signal phasing arrangement,
and the rate of arrivals and departures of turning vehicles. The storage is based on 2 times the 95th
percentile back of queue as detennined by traffic modeling software, such as Synchro.
4- 7 4 1 P a g e J a n u a r y 2 0 1 3 Chapter 4—Transportation engineering
t
KDOTAccess Management Policy
Unsignalized—The storage length is based on the number of vehicles likely to arrive in an average
2 -minute period within the peak hour of the highway.
All peak -hour turning counts are projected design -year traffic volumes (typically 20 years). Each
vehicle is assumed to occupy 25 feet of storage space. The minimum storage length is 50 feet
(based on a minimum of storing two vehicles) and should be adjusted to account for high truck
traffic according to Table 4-29.
The auxiliary lane should be long enough to store the Table 4-29. Queue storage lengthadjustments for trucks

period. Through traffic should not block the turn lane. Percent trucksstorage Length (ft)

are based on the need to stop before turning (0 mph), while Tr m15 p h hY 35
unsignalized right -turn ,lanes are based on being able to
turn at 15 mph.—KDOT's policy is to utilize the recommended deceleration distances
provided in Table 4-30 for left -turn lanes and signalized right -turn lanes, which are based on all
deceleration occurring in the auxiliary lane and are based on drivers traveling at the posted
speed limit.

Bay taper—The bay taper is needed for the driver to move from the through lane into the auxiliary
lane, normally at the same speed of through traffic. Bay tapers are present for both left -turn and
right -turn auxiliary lanes. A pair of symmetrical reverse curves, or a straight line, can be used to
create the bay taper. Typically, designers use symmetrical reverse curve bay tapers in developed
areas with speeds at 45 mph or less and straight line tapers in undeveloped areas with speeds of
50 mph or greater. However, both can be used interchangeably based on local preference. Example
bay tapers are shown in AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2011
edition (page 9-130).

City Attorney: Kit Williams
PPL 16-5642: Preliminary Plat (NE OF 15TH & MORNINGSIDE DR./PARK MEADOWS SD,
564): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL & ASSOCIATES, INC. for properties located NE OF 15T" &
MORNINGSIDE DR. The property is zoned with a mixture of NC,- NEIGHBORHOOD
CONSERVATION, CS, COMMUNITY SERVICES, and RA, RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL and
contain approximately 68.00 acres. The request is for 290 single-family lots.
Quin Thompson,_ Planner: Gave the staff report..
Jesse Fulcher, Applicant: Said the project has taken a long time. He noted that the street
improvements are the most important part of this project. The traffic study has provided more
concrete information since Subdivision Committee. What we should talk about in terms of
concern for traffic study, is that we are generating 5 left hand turns in the AM form Huntsville
and 12 in the evening. I can't imagine why the turn lane would be required. The previous
developer was proposing 200 lots without significant street improvements. The question is, how
much per lot is typical for street improvements. Other developments are coming in in the
hundreds of dollars per unit. Our projection is for $3000 per unit.
The Links at Fayetteville had the most required improvements, and also the most development.
Sub -division Committee was a recommendation, this is a determination, with planning staff
recommending denial if the improvements aren't made.
Huntsville is more than restriping, but rather adding width to the north side. This is the highest
cost per unit required ever for a subdivision.
The level of service is currently an Wand will remain an Wafter this development. There is no
justification for the added turn lane. It is not rational.
We did not realize we needed to add further stub outs, we will look at that. There is flood plain to
the east.
Public Comment:
Kate Conway, Neighbor: Have lived across the street for 37 years. We have concerns about
traffic and safety, especially with 600-1200 people moving into the area. There will be no east
access, every car will use 15th street and Huntsville. Adding a light at Huntsville and
Morningside is very important. There will two streets that are already existing Fairlane and xx
and if we could make those four way stops, it would help slow down traffic on Morningside.
Inaudible: I like the idea of the park, and that it will be public and people can have access to.
There is a lot of wildlife in that field, deer, rabbits, geese, and coyote. What happens to those
animals? Are they relocated? What is normally done?
Rodney Hicks, Neighbor: My biggest concern is for traffic on Morningside. It is already
horrendous. The street cannot handle that traffic. Trees will need to be removed, and a traffic
light definitely needs to be installed. Spent 5 minutes waiting at that intersection tonight. Traffic
is my main concern.
Ralph Nesson, Neighbor: Lived across the street for 37 years. We have known that the land
would be developed. We hope that the traffic speed and safety will be taken into account.
Speeding is a very serious issue on Morningside. We encourage you to make sure we get
improvements and a traffic signal along with this development. The density concerns us, less
than .23 acres per lot. This will create a large number of homes on a small area. Would like to
see as many traffic safety measures as possible. There is a large amount of wildlife, we hope
that preservation will take place.
Chris McGill, Neighbor: Thanks to the Planning staff and to -the Commission for their concern
and looking out for neighbors. This is a big development, and I do appreciate you looking into it
in such detail. There is only one chance to get it right.
No more public comment was presented.
Tracy Hoskins, Commissioner: How much are parks fees?
Thompson: $269,560.
Hoskins: parks fees, trail easement, and build the trail?
As a developer, I am stunned by the amount of improvements required by staff. I don't see how
they can make it work. Huntsville Road is a narrow road with steep ditch. Trees, telephone
poles, will need to be removed. I am surprised that we are requiring a traffic signal. I think all
three of us thought it was way too much. I can see the improvements on Morningside, without a
doubt. Huntsville Road improvements are not warranted. I am amazed by the requirements.
Matthew Hoffman, Commissioner: Thanks to the public for the well -considered comments. I
think it is important that we maintain and improve the walk ability of this part of town.
Morningside: Traffic speeds are marked at 25 miles per hour now, people don't follow that. We
need to balance capacity with traffic speed. These are independent of each other. Easiest thing
to do is to add on -street parking. Is that being proposed?
Andrew Garner, Planning Director: yes. On the east side of the street.
Hoffman: Have concerns about traffic calming if we use the 30 foot section. Question to
Fulcher: Excited by the number of alley loaded homes. Why can't we have it on the east side
too? Would it be possible to get some alleys there?
Fulcher: We are being squeezed out of space for more alleys. The small increments of space
being removed for easement, street ROW, et c have resulted in small lots.
Hoffman: We are asking a lot of these parcels. They will have lame backyards, with 24' wide
auto storage at the front of 50 foot wide lots. It would be easier to understand backing off on
some traffic related improvements if we are able to provide a more walkable development. I
could forego traffic improvements if trail is provided.
Alison Quinlan, Commissioner: I think you could provide more rear loaded lots. That could be
to your benefit. I agree completely with you [Fulcher] about no need to improve Huntsville Road.
I do support a traffic signal. Why doesn't the developer get credit for parks fees and trail?
Thompson: There is not parkland being dedicated.
Garner: Actually there is parkland being dedicated. The parks fees numbers are estimates if no
land is dedicated.
Hoskins: Developers are still paying whether they are dedicating.land or paying parks fees or
building trail. The developer is paying. I would Ike to understand how creating more alleys
reduces a need to street improvements.
Quinlan: Alley loaded homes increase pedestrian traffic by creating traditional neighborhood
developments.
Leslie Belden, Commissioner: I love Disney World and go there often. I would love to live in
utopia. Not many people can afford to go to Disney Land often. I don't want to compromise
safety ever, while making it as beautiful as it can be without adding cost to the developer and be
passed along to the buyer. Morningside improvements have to be done.
Tom Brown, Commissioner: What street section is Huntsville Road?
Garner: Collector.
Brown: This property is unlike other recent subdivisions on the edge of town. It is really close to
downtown. We need to do the improvements to Morningside. We do need a stoplight at
Huntsville Road. We should not rip up recent improvements to improve Huntsville road. I like the
phasing approach. I think that if we don't require the trail, we should still require the dedication
of land so that the City does not have to acquire the ROW. Is it possible to move the street by
the park to the west a few feet? And add more alleys for rear loaded homes?
Quinlan: Are the proposed alleys required to be dedicated or could they be put into access
easements?
Garner: Either.
Kit Williams, City Attorney: Do we have a plan for AHTD improvements?
Thompson: Yes.
Williams: Why should we approve a plat that may have 11 unbuildable lots? Does the street
parallel to 15th street meet separation requirements?
Garner: Meets street design standards.
Williams: is it safe in your opinion?
Garner: it meets development code.
Williams: As to trail dedication, the Planning Commission cannot require dedication for trail. It is
unconstitutional. Trails have been dedicated as a part of park land dedication. If the trail
dedication is required, then we should give them credit towards the parks fees.
As to the traffic signal: It is unlikely that it will be built and money will have to be returned.
Quinlan: Project should be tabled.
Fulcher: If the project is tabled, then we are likely to see the same recommendations from staff
and same proposal from Rausch Coleman. I don't think that we have enough direction to be
tabled.
Garner: I'm not sure what tabling would accomplish. I think this is ready for a vote.
Brown: If I get some feedback from the applicant that they will took at the .additional alleys.
Quinlan: There is a very wide discrepancy in what staff is recommending and what the
subdivision committee recommended for street improvements.
Garner: Discussed traffic safety and staffs overall recommendations for street improvements.
He restated that Huntsville road improvements are the priority from a public safety standpoint
because of the volume of traffic and turning movements. If the commission is prioritizing traffic
safety, Huntsville Road should be the very last to be removed to ensure that it remains safe
because of the potential for rear end collisions and left turning movements into and out of this
subdivision on Huntsville Road that would be mitigated with turn lanes. improvements to
Morningside Drive while important, are not as critical from a safety standpoint because of the
lower volumes and traffic speeds. If Morningside remains unimproved and a car slides off into
the ditch it is not as much of a safety problem created by turning movements into and out of this
subdivision on Huntsville without turn lanes.
Corey Granderson, Staff Engineer: Said that he had reviewed the traffic study, and noted that
City Eng staff disagreed with the applicant's analysis. He said that the traffic consultant misread
the report that they generated. He said that the warrants are in fact met on Huntsville road and
the Huntsville/Morningside intersection. During peak hours, Huntsville has a vehicle every 4
seconds. Because of high volume, if the tables are read correctly, the turning lane is warranted.
Intersection is the first priority for safety, and second the turn lane on Huntsville Road.
Tom Hennelly, Applicant's Engineer: Discussed the traffic study,, there is no way to read the
table as indicated by the City. According to the traffic study and distribution model according to
our consultant, the warrants are not met. Perhaps we could decide that we will make the
improvements that are warranted.
Hoskins: We were discussing rational nexus. We had decided that improvements were
necessary to Morningside. Were you suggesting that improvements to Huntsville would be in
lieu of improvements to Morningside?
Williams: What I was saying was that there is a rough proportionality to improvements, and
given that our planning director has said that the Huntsville improvements are the most
important for safety, the PC will have to decide which improvement is more important. Mr.
Peters has presented to us many times, and I have sometimes disagreed with his analysis.
Planning Commission will have to determine what is most important for a traffic safety point of
view, and will have to apply the appropriate amount of money to that improvement.
Hoskins: I am leaning toward including the traffic signal assessment.
Cook: I am going to retract my statement about tabling, and vote to table.
Belden: We had discussed a three way stop at the intersection, and it works at Mission and
Maple. The transportation division determines where stop signs go.
Brown: The improvements to Morningside are critical to the developer and the image of the
neighborhood they want to project. They won't just want a ditch in front of those homes, so they
are going to do this improvement.
Fulcher: On Huntsville, the improvements recommended on Huntsville are only for those
turning into and out of our development. There are more turns at the intersection. This is where
the traffic is. This should be a balance of safety and cost. The north side of Huntsville has open
ditch. Expansion there will be expensive. We should provide turn lanes where they are needed.

SUBJECT: PPL 16-5642: Preliminary Plat (NE OF 15TH & MORNINGSIDE DR./PARK
MEADOWS SD, 564): Submitted by CRAFTON TULL & ASSOCIATES, INC. for
properties located NE OF 15TH & MORNINGSIDE DR. The property is zoned with
a mixture of NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION, CS, COMMUNITY
SERVICES, and RA, RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL and contain approximately
68.00 acres. The request is for 290 single-family lots.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of PPL 16-5642 with conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND:
Property and background: The subject property is a 68 acre parcel located on the northeast corner
of Morningside Drive and 151 Street. A small portion of the parcel extends to the south side of
15th Street. The property is _undeveloped pasture, and remains in agricultural use. The parcel
contains some flood plain, and a string of ponds that become a. protected stream immediately to
the south. These valuable natural resources are classified as Natural Area on the 2030 Future
Land Use Plan. Surrounding land use and zoning is depicted on Table 1.

INFRASTRUCTURE:
Water and Sewer System: The property has access to existing public water service on
Morningside Drive, 15th Street, and Huntsville Road. Pubic sewer service is available on
Morningside and Huntsville Road.
Adjacent streets and right-of-way. This site is adjacent to Master Street Plan (MSP) designated
Collector Streets Morningside Drive and Huntsville Road, and 151 Street, a MSP designated
Principal Arterial street.
Street Improvements: Significant street improvements are warranted given the unimproved nature
of surrounding streets, existing congestion and traffic safety issues and traffic generated by this
development. Morningside Drive is approximately 22 feet wide and has curb, gutter, and sidewalk
on the west side. Huntsville Road in this location is approximately 26 feet wide and has recent
sidewalk, curb, and gutter improvements on the south side constructed by the City. The
recommended improvements and phasing for each street and are listed in condition of approval
#1.
Traffic Signal at Huntsville and Morningside. According to the applicant's preliminary
traffic study, left turns from Morningside onto Huntsville would increase significantly during
peak hours because of this development. A traffic signal warrants analysis should be
performed at this intersection based on projected traffic volumes to determine if a signal
needs to be installed in the near future.
L The traffic numbers provided by the applicant indicate this project would generate
12% of the volume through this intersection. Based on the current estimated cost of
a traffic signal at $150,000.00, staff recommends an assessment of $18,000.00 (12%
of the cost of a traffic signal) by paid by.the applicant for all phases of the -
development. This amount may change with submittal and review of the final traffic
study.
i. It should be noted that from a safety and traffic function standpoint, the critical
improvement to Morningside Drive is the inclusion of turn lanes at the intersections
with Huntsville Road and 15th Street.
Internal multi -use trail on the Active Transportation Plan _Right-of-way should be
dedicated and multi -use trail should be built running north -south from 15th Street to
Huntsville Road internal to this subdivision consistent with the general trail alignment on the
Active Transportation Plan:
L All street and alley crossing should be accomplished by using the city's standard
detail for trail crossings. This includes red -dye concrete, and no changes in elevation
or ramps. See standard details.
ii. The trail geometry proposed shows several harsh 90 -degree turns with no radius
proposed. This alignment will not be approved due to concerns for pedestrian safety.
iii. A 50 -foot centerline radius should be used for all changes in horizontal alignment of
the trail where feasible, according to AASHTO design guidelines.
iv. Any areas that cannot achieve a 50 -foot radius must provide the maximum radius
possible and be reviewed/approved by the City Engineer.

Tree Preservation:
Canopy minimum requirement: 20%
Existing canopy: 4.4%
Preserved canopy: 3.7%
Mitigation required: 22,953 Sq. Ft. / 105 mitigation trees
Block Length/Connectivity: The subject development will be accessed via seven new public
streets and two alleys connecting the site to existing public roads. The site is approximately 2,600
linear feet from north -south along east property line. Adjacent land to the east is undeveloped
farmland. Connectivity is proposed by way of two future street stub outs to undeveloped land to
the east, breaking up the 2,600 linear feet of the site's eastern property line into large blocks.
The subdivision design as proposed would require variances of the Block Length requirement
(§166.08.E.1) for a blocks longer than 660 feet.
■ A block is proposed between Fairlane and McClinton Streets of approximately 740 feet.
Staff supports the variance; finding that there are safety benefits to aligning the proposed
streets with existing streets on Morningside Drive. In order to mitigate the lack of
connectivity on this block, staff recommends an east -west mid -block alley connecting
Morningside Drive to street `J'.
■ The block between Street `H' and Street 'B' is approximately 1,600 feet without a street
stub -out to the east or south. Staff recommends at least one additional stub -out to
undeveloped property to the east in this area of the site.
The development seeks a variance of (§166.08.E.2) for double -fronted lots. Three double -fronted
lots (Lots 46-48) along Huntsville Road, a Collector Street. Staff finds that the layout is justified
by steep topography that makes building near Huntsville Road unfeasible in this case.
Multi -use Trail Improvement. The Fayetteville Active Transportation Plan identifies a 12 -foot wide
shared use paved trail within the project site running north and south between Huntsville Ave and
15th Street.
Parks: On September 12, 2016, the Park -and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) recommended
accepting a combination of land and money in lieu to satisfy the parkland dedication requirements
for this proposed subdivision. The exact amount of land to be deeded to the city and amount of
fees to be paid to be calculated based on the final number of units prior to final plat.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of PPL 16-5642 with the following
conditions. Given the Subdivision Committee's disagreement with staffs recommended
street improvements, it is advisable that the street improvements be voted on in a separate
motion from the overall project.
Street Improvements Conditions of Approval:
Planning Commission determination of street improvements. The Planning and Engineering
divisions have assessed the size and scope of the proposed development and the impacts on
adjacent streets and traffic patterns. As a result of staff's recommendations during the technical
plat review meeting, the applicant provided a preliminary traffic study for review. In consideration
of all this information, staff recommends the following improvements to be delivered with each
proposed phase of development.

Huntsville Road based on the amount of traffic expected with this phase in the amount
of $4,716.56 for 76 lots.
2. Street Improvements required with Phase 11 (87 lots)
A. Huntsville Road shall be re -striped to create a safe turn lane for vehicles turning left
into and out of the new proposed street intersections and the existing
Morningside/Huntsville Road intersection. The existing striped bike lanes will be
removed along this section of Huntsville Road and be replaced as follows:
A 12 -foot wide multi -use trail shall be constructed along Huntsville Road on the
south side of the street, the existing sidewalk may be widened to the south to
accomplish this if possible. The trail would extend from Morningside Drive to Seven
Hills Drive.
ii. Striping and signage shall be used to direct bicycle traffic off of the street and onto
the south side of Huntsville Road onto a 12 -foot wide multi -use trail.
iii. This section of trail would be a logical extension of the city's plan to have a multi-
use trail on the south side of Huntsville Road just west of this block.
B. Assessment for a traffic signal / improvements at the intersection of Morningside and
Huntsville Road based on the amount of traffic expected with this phase in the amount
of $5,399.22 for 87 lots.

curb/gutter, sidewalk, and storm drainage to provide improved street frontage
along the lots facing Morningside Drive.
C. Assessment for a traffic signal / improvements at the intersection of Morningside
and Huntsville Road based on the amount of traffic expected with this phase in the
amount of $2,916.82 for 47 lots.
D. A trail easement shall be dedicated, centered on the final alignment of the trail.
The applicant shall construct a 12 -foot wide Multi -use Trail through the
natural/common area from Street 'E' to Street 'B'.
15th Street/AR HWY 16 East: This development site contains approximately 800 feet of
street frontage on the north side and 800 feet of street frontage on the south side of 15th
Street. No improvements are recommended to 151l' Street. The Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department has a funded project to widen 15th Street along this property
frontage and build sidewalks. The applicant should coordinate with AHTD to determine
appropriate right-of-way dedication and turn radius onto Morningside Drive; current plans
seem to indicate that insufficient right-of-way as shown which will impact the size and
feasibility of lots along 15th street.
Subdivision Committee recommended the following street improvements:
1. Against improvements to Huntsville Road;
2. Against improvements for a traffic signal at Huntsville/Morningside;
3.. In favor of improvements to Morningside; and
4. Against all multi -use trail improvements except for dedicating an easement for
the internal multi -use trail through the site.
At the level of improvements currently recommended by the Subdivision Committee staff finds
that the size and impact of this development will overburden the existing infrastructure Huntsville
Road and will create a dangerous traffic condition. For that reason staff would recommend denial
of the PPL without further improvements to mitigate the impact of this 290 lot subdivision
Other Conditions of Approval:
Planning Commission determination of variances to the Block Length requirement
(§166.08.E.1) for a blocks longer than 660 feet.
o A block is proposed between Fairlane and McClinton Streets of approximately 740
feet. Staff supports the variance, finding that there are safety benefits to aligning
the proposed streets with existing streets on Morningside Drive. In order to mitigate
the lack'of connectivity on this block, staff recommends an east -west mid -block
alley connecting Morningside Drive to street Y.
o The block between Street 'H' and Street 'B' is approximately 1,600 feet without a
street stub -out to the east or south. Staff recommends at least one additional stub -
out to undeveloped property to the east in this area of the site.
Subdivision Committee recommended in favor of these variances.

2. Planning Commission determination of a variance to allow lots 46, 47, and 48 to be platted
as double frontage lots. Staff recommends in favor of the variance, finding that the lots will
have steep topography that justifies that proposed lot layout.
Subdivision Committee recommended in favor of this variance.
3. Planning Commission determination of parkland dedication or fees -in -lieu. The Park and
Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) and Parks Department staff recommends a
combination of land and money in lieu to satisfy the parkland dedication requirements.
The exact amount of land to be deeded and money to be paid to the city to be calculated
based on the final number of units and completed prior to final plat.
4. All internal streets and alleys shall be constructed in accordance with City development
code including street lights along all interior and exterior adjacent streets at street
intersections and spaced every 300 feet in accordance with code.
5. Right-of-way dedication is required along the site's Morningside and Huntsville Road
frontages in the amount of 35 feet from centerline for a Collector Street with a turn lane
and 29.5 feet from centerline where the turn lane is not required; 43.5 feet from centerline
right-of-way to be dedicated along the site's 1511 Street frontage; 50 feet total width and
43 feet total width for the new interior streets as indicated on the preliminary plat.
6.. Direct access to Huntsville Road, Morningside Road, and 15th Street shall not be permitted
for individual lots. This note shall be included on the final plat.
Standard conditions of approval:
7. Impact fees for fire, police, water, and sewer shall be paid in accordance with City
ordinance.
8. Future street connection signs shall be placed at the street connectivity points prior to final
plat.
9. Plat Review and Subdivision comments (to include written staff comments provided to the

10. Staff approval of final detailed plans, specifications and calculations (where applicable) for
grading, drainage, water, sewer, fire protection, streets (public and private), sidewalks,
parking lot(s) and tree preservation. The information submitted for the plat review process
was reviewed for general concept only. All public improvements are subject to additional
review and approval. All improvements shall comply with City's current requirements.

Date: November 23, 2016 Planning Commission Staff Memo
To: Quin Thompson, Current Planner
From: Corey Granderson, Staff Engineer
Re: Plat Review Comments
Development: PPL 16-5642: PARK MEADOWS SD
Engineer: Crafton Tull
Comments - Traffic & Street Improvements:
1. To avoid duplication, please refer to the planning staff report for recommendations on street improvements.
The planning and engineering division are in agreement on all recommendations and have worked together
to create the language presented in the planning report. If the engineering division has different opinions as
the project moves forward, those will be outlined in an updated memo.
2. The engineering division has reviewed a draft traffic study from Peter's and Associates dated 11/22/2016
that was submitted late on this project. The traffic study states that signal and turn lane warrants are NOT
met at any location on this project.
a. Based on preliminary review of this information, the engineering division disagrees with the findings
and finds that (using the same methodology and source references) that all left turn lanes along
Huntsville Road are warranted.
b. A preliminary review of the traffic signal warrants for the intersection of Morningside Drive and
Huntsville Road has not been completed at this time.
Comments — Drainage:
No protected streams exist onsite based on the City's adoption of the Streamside Protection areas map.
However, corps permitting must be obtained for modifications to any streams or wetlands onsite under the
jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers. The applicant is aware of this and has already begun the
permitting process with the corps.
Standard Comments:
1. All designs are subject to the City's latest design criteria (water, sewer, streets and drainage). Review
for plat approval is not approval of public improvements, and all proposed improvements are subject to
further review at the time construction plans are submitted.
2. Any damage to the existing public street due to construction shall be repaired/replaced at the
owner/developers expense
3. Any water main upgrades that parallel a smaller or older waterline are required to relocate all existing
service connections to the new water main and abandon the old water main.
4. Water and sewer impact fees will apply for the additional impact to the system. The fees will be based
on the proposed meter size and will be charged at the time of meter set.
5. Note, the following portions of all projects will typically not be reviewed by the Engineering Division
until time of construction -level review (unless specifically requested at plat review):

COMMENTS:
• Applicant is proposing 293 single family lots on about 68 acres.
• On September 12, 2016, DRAB reviewed the project and recommended accepting a
combination of land and money in lieu for 293 single-family lots to satisfy the park land
dedication ordinance due to the development's proximity to Walker Park and the existing
trails system.
■ A combination of land and money in -lieu to satisfy parkland dedication requirements will be
due before signing of the final plat.
■ The actual amount of acreage and money in -lieu for the Park Meadows Development will be
determined by the actual number of units and the parks fee formula at Planning Commission
approval of the Preliminary Plat.

2. Please include detention pond calculations. The mitigation numbers are shown but not stormwater
calculations.
3. Please include street tree calculations, a note with lot numbers.
4. Please locate the additional 54 mitigation.trees that are needed in common areas.
5. The following apply and shall be added to the Landscape Plan:
a. Prior to approval of Final Plat, any street trees fronting commonly owned properties must be planted
and have a 3 -year maintenance surety, or contract per 177,10, submitted to ensure maintenance
and survival through the 3 -year establishment period. This surety must be accompanied by a
completed Landscape Surety Form.
b. Prior to approval of Final Plat, any required mitigation trees must be planted and have a 3 -year
maintenance surety, or contract per 177.10, submitted to ensure maintenance and survival through
the 3 -year establishment period. The surety must be accompanied by a completed Landscape Surety
Form.
c. Prior to approval of Final Plat, a landscape performance surety (letter of credit, bond or -cash) must
be provided on all street trees adjacent to homes. This surety must be accompanied by a completed
Landscape Surety Form. A cost estimate from a professional landscaping or contracting company
must be provided to the Urban Forester in order to determine the required amount of the performance
bond. The final surety amount is 150% of the approved cost estimate.
d. Planting of LOT trees adjacent to homes may be deferred until completed construction of individual
homes; however, the timing must be specified in conjunction with the phased -completion of homes.
For example, after the completion of (xx) homes, these trees must transition from a performance
surety to a 3 -year maintenance surety or contract per 177.10. This can be specified by the number
of homes, the percentage of completion of the overall development, or simply on a time scheduled
basis. The developer is required to determine this timing and state on the plat how these plantings
and subsequent surety submittals will occur.

A variance is being requested to allow 14 lots to front two streets, 11 of them to the south between
Fifteenth St. and Street B, and 3 of them to the northeast between Huntsville Rd. and Street G.
For the northeast corner of the site, the existing grades make it difficult to front lots only on
Huntsville Rd. Instead the back yards will be against Huntsville with a large separation down to
the house to get out of the steeper grades_ To the south, connectivity to Morningside and Fifteenth
require the lots to front two streets. These lots will not be allowed to directly access Fifteenth St.
or Huntsville Rd.
A second variance is needed to allow a block length to exceed the maximum 660 feet between
Streets K and E. This will._ allow us to align these two streets with existing streets across
Morningside Dr.
A third variance will be requested to allow the removal of curb and gutter along the common area
adjacent to Streets J and F. The goal is to remove the need for traditional storm sewer along
these streets and allow runoff to sheet flow off the street, through a grass buffer strip and into the
existing creek.
Should you have any questions, or require any additional information, please contact us at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Taylor/Lindley, E.I.
