I■1 CIVIL ENGINEERS • SLJRVFYORS Ms. Fumiyo Okuda Kona Country Club, Inc. Trip Generation January 02, 2020 A review of the trip rates published by ITE in Trip Generation, 10th Edition, indicates that the Project is most closely represented by Land Use Code 260 — Recreational Homes. ITE defines this land use as: "A recreational home is located within a resort that contains focal services and complete recreational facilities. These dwellings are often second homes used by the owner periodically or rented on a seasonal basis." Land Use Code 260 does not differentiate between single-family dwellings and multi- family dwellings; however, the clustering of units together does not impact the overall travel characteristics of the Project. Since the restaurant and spa will only be used by homeowners and guests, no external vehicular trips would be generated by these services. The trip generation projection for the Project will be based on the worst-case 60 -unit scenario and is shown in Table 1. Table 1 Trip Generation The trip generation project for the 60 -unit Project indicates that a total of 13 vehicles per hour (vph) are anticipated during the AM commuter peak hour of traffic and a total of 17 vph are anticipated during the PM commuter peak hour of traffic. Conclusions The following are the conclusions of the Traffic Assessment Study. • The 60 -unit Project is the worst-case scenario and will generate 17 or less total trips (enter and exit) during each of the AM and PM commuter peak hours of traffic. • The peak hour traffic generated impacts of the proposed Project will be minimal due to the low volume of traffic generated. • The Project does not meet the minimum criteria of 50 peak hour trips specified in Section 25-2-46 Concurrency Requirements of the Hawaii County Code regarding the preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report. The Project is anticipated to generate 17 or less total trips and therefore, a Traffic Impact Analysis Report is not required. 3 AM Peak Hour of PM Peak Hour of Traffic Traffic No. of Enter Exit Enter Exit Land Use Designation Units (vph) (vph) (vph) (vph) Recreational Homes 60 9 4 7 10 The trip generation project for the 60 -unit Project indicates that a total of 13 vehicles per hour (vph) are anticipated during the AM commuter peak hour of traffic and a total of 17 vph are anticipated during the PM commuter peak hour of traffic.
