The Westshire Village development, a retirement village, has 307 one,two and three bedroom condominiums. 307 times 3.5 trips/day equals 1,074 total ADT.47 approved multifamily units will be built in the near future in the zoned R4 parcel to the east bounded by Willow Road and CTH"M". 47 times 6 trips/day equals 282 total ADT.There was a 6 lot subdivision recently approved by the lake and some 30 existing single family dwellings which produce 367 trips per day that is 36 times 10.2 trips per day.The total number of trips generated is 1723 trips per day. Of these trips as few as 276 trips and as many as 345 trips will be directed to YAHARA CROSSING CENTRE and not reach CTH"M".Of course there are a number of seasonal business outfits such as the Mazanet and Skipper Bud's marinas which we did not take into account as contributing to traffic on CTH"M"but as is evident by the calculations YAIIARA CROSSING CENTRE although it generates 353 daily trips it could receive from the immediate area as many as 345 daily trips.Therefore YAHARA CROSSING CENTRE'S contribution to traffic is truly insignificant. The County's Highway department has recommended that YAHARA CROSSING CENTRE alone be responsible for improved intersections on CTH "M". It claims that the County had no input in the approval of Westshire Village and other recently approved developments in the adjacent area because these developments do not front"M". I am aware that they do front"M" and that at least Dane County RPC scrutinized and had input on these recent developments.In our case while we are not a contributing factor of traffic on CTH"M"we are asked to shoulder the entire cost of these improvements regardless of either recent or of future development in the adjacent area who have and will have a significant impact on traffic and may be able to contribute their fair share on this expense along with us so that the proposed expense is made equitable. So much is made for responsible kind of development now in Dane County.The efforts the County government is making toward planing the future through guiding development are enormous_ YAHARA CROSSING CENTRE is this kind of responsible development that deserves to be nurtured and encouraged instead of be punished for all that it does not do.If the County assigns such a great expense to us alone it will be so punishing that our project will simply not take place. DEFINITIONS Primary trips are trips made for the specific purpose of visiting the generator. Pass-by trips are trips made as intermediate stops on the way from an origin to a primary trip destination and are attracted from the traffic passing the site on an adjacent street that contains direct access to the generator. Diverted linked trips are trips attracted from the traffic volume on roadways within the vicinity of the generator but which require a diversion from that roadway to another roadway to gain access to the site.
