Department of Transportation Traffic/Parking/Transit City of Madison Municipal Building Madison May 2, 1997 215 Martin Luther King,Jr. Boulevard P.O. Box 2986 Madison,Wisconsin 53701-2986 �� 608 266 4761 To: Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee TTY 608 267 9623 ifir FAX 608 267 1158 :7,70-:,-, From: David C. Dryer, City Traffic Engineer Subject: Conditional Use Permit for a Day Care at 8221 Raymond Road (Meriter Hospital) At the request of Mr. Robert Gore, Meriter Hospital, and the Dane County Zoning and Natural Resources Committee, the City Traffic Engineering Division has been asked to comment on the traffic and planning impacts of the proposed use. Based upon our review of the composite report prepared for the hearing date of 4/29/97 and other available information, this office does not expect the proposed use to pose serious traffic impacts. The estimated trip generation contained in the composite report is accurate except that we would expect traffic to reach the site from really all directions and be dependent mainly on the clientele's place of residence. With about 2,500 vehicles per day on Raymond Road, we expect minor traffic impacts although there will likely be some additional interference at the driveway entrance. The past use of the 10-unit CBRF likely generated about one-half to the same amount of traffic, although CBRF-type uses generally generate less trips. We view the proposed use as a low to modest traffic generator and also as a transitional land use. With regard to the "Five Points" intersection, I have attached a memo for your information. As the memo notes, the City of Madison supported Alternative 2. Once this project is implemented, access to the proposed use will be affected. Other, more indirect routes will have to be taken until other access alternatives are provided. In terms of other planning, we would expect this site to develop alternative access to Raymond Road so that the Ice Age Trail and Open Space plans could be implemented. I have enclosed the City's recommendations for this area and a portion of a map from the City's draft neighborhood development plan which shows such an alternative access. To ensure that this happens, the Committee may want to include a condition of approval stating: "At such time that_the_ke Ag>; Trail and Open Space plans are implemented in this area the subject property shall be required to develop and implement alternative access consistent with adopted plans and at their expense to allow for the elimination of Raymond Road where it crosses the Ice Age Trail Corridor." If you have any questions or comments please contact me or Dan McCormick at 267-1969. Ake, vA 1,- ° avid .
