FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER
INTRODUCTION
This matter has come before the Hearing Examiner Committee on September 21,
1995. The members of the Corrunittee present are: Donald Moore, Chair, Brenda
Bodenstein and Frank Yuse.
PROPOSAL .
The sponsors, Richard Zadino/Stan Schultz, request approval of a Zone
Reclassification, ZE-31-95 from Heavy Industrial (I-3) and Light Industrial (I-2)
to Regional Business (B-3) for developing a 130,068 square foot retail sales facility
and those uses allowed in the Regional Business (B-3) zone.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The property is generally located west of and adjacent to Fancher Road,
approximately 155 feet north of Sprague Avenue, in the SE 1/4 of Section 14,
Township 25 North, Range 43 EWM, Spokane County, Washington.
2. The Cominittee adopts the Planning Department Report as a part of this record.
3. The existing land uses in the area include a mix of industrial and corrunercial uses.
4. The proposed use is compatible with existing uses in the area.
5. The majority of the site is located within the Industrial category of the Comprehensive
Plan. The Industrial category of the Comprehensive Plan is intended to provide the
opportunity for industrial developinent and reserve land for industrial purposes.
Commercial and residential uses are generally not considered appropriate in the
Industrial category.
A nai-row strip of the site at the south property boundary is within the Major
Commercial category of the Comprehensive Plan. The Major Commercial category is
intended to provide the opportunity for development of Commercial uses including
shopping centers and uses related to major transportation routes.
The Comprehensive Plan contains a"transition policy". The transition policy states
that when a proposal is located on or adjacent to the boundary between two land use
categories, the proposal may be approved according to the objectives and decision
guidelines of either category depending on the site specific evaluation by the hearing
body.
6. The proposed zoning does implement and conform to the Comprehensive Plan. ,
. . i
7. The Spokane County Arterial Road Plan identifies Fancher Road as a Principal
Arterial with a recommended right of way width of 100 feet. The existing Fancher
Road right of way width ranges from 60 feet to 43.5 feet. To implement the
Arterial Road Plan the Spokane County Engineer is requesting a strip of land 6.5
feet wide along Fancher Road to be set aside as a future acquisition area (FAA).
8. The existing zoning of the property described in the application is Heavy Industrial
(I-3) and Light Industrial (I-2) established in 1991, previously classified as
Manufacturing (M) (ZE-104-41) and Restricted Industrial (RI) (ZE-104-55C) and
redesignated to Heavy Industrial (I-3) and Light Industrial(I-2) on January 1, 1991
pursuant to the Program to Implement the Spokane County Zoning Code. The
proposal does conform to the requirements of the proposed Regional Business
(B-3) zone.
9. The provisions of RCW 43.21C (The State Environmental Policy Act) have been complied with and a Determ.ination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued. The
Committee, after independent review, hereby adopts the DNS.
10. The legal requirements for public notice have been fulfilled.
11. The owners of adjacent lands expressed neither approval nor disapproval of the
proposed use.
12. The applicant has demonstrated that conditions have substantially changed since the
original zoning of this area and accordingly, the proposed zone reclassification is
justified. Specifically, changed conditions include commercial development along
Sprague Avenue, adoption of the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan,
abandonment of the on-site railroad yard and improvements to Fancher Road.
13. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or
welfare especially in light of the conditions recommended by the reviewing
agencies.
14. The Committee additionally finds/concludes:
a. The transition policy of the Comprehensive plan is applicable to this proposal.
b. The applicant agrees with all recommended conditions.

The majority of the site is zoned Heavy Industnal (I-3) with an approximately 50
foot strip along the south boundary zoned Light Industnal (I-2) The purpose of
the Heavy Industnal zone (I-3) is to provide areas for pnmary manufacturmg
industries The Light Industnal (I-2) zone is a less intensive zone and is intended
to support a vanety of industrial uses, all of a non-offensive nature Both the
Heavy Industnal and the Light Industrial zones are intended to unplement the
Industrial category of the Comprehensive Plan
Within the vicinity of the proposal, Heavy Industnal (I-3) zonuig is found north

PLEASE CALL (503)228-5230 IF ALL PAGES NOT RECEIVED CLEARLY
We refer to the proposed WSDOT design for the north leg of the Sprague Avenue/Fancher
Road intersection as shown on "County Road Project No 2398 & 2582 Sheet 6 of 22" faxed
to us by Greg Figg (attached as exhibit 1) Although the fax is diffcult to read, it appears
that the median separating northbound from southbound traffic lanes is proposed to be a
"curb construction for traffic island" In our traffic study and on site drawings (attached as
exhibit 2), The Home Depot south driveway on Fancher Road is proposed to allow right-in,
right-out, left-out movements
Thus, there appears to be a conflict between the raised median curb design and the proposed
left-out movement at the south Fancher Road driveway This driveway is of critical
importance to the entire internal site circulation pattern since it serves as the prrncspal east-
west roadway within the overall site (attached as exhibit 3) Not allowing the left-out
movement would cause vehicles to use the north Fancher Road driveway which is already
predicted to operate at a LOS "E" without this additional site traffic It would also be
confusing to exiting vehicles who may be forced south (right-out) They may in turn perform
a U-turn at the Sprague/Fancher signal, degrading traffic aperations there
Accordingly, we propose a relatively simple change to the WSDOT design and any related
conditions of approval The median on Fancher Road along the sl e frontage should be
Qmted instea of raised r This would enable the left-out movement from the south
driveway

• . .
Alternatively, the raised curb could extend only as far north as the south radius return of the
south driveway From that point north, the two-way-left-turn median lane (TWLTL) could
start and would thus serve to "protect" the left-out movements The raised curb portion near
the signalized intersection would control access to Denny's and enhance smooth traffic
operations on ttus approach to the signal
If the underlined condition modification is acceptable in principle, we would be pleased to
discuss or design alternative striping plans and median treatments on Fancher Road in
cooperation with WSDOT and the County, in which case, please do not hesitate to call me at

This analysis is valid for the periods when Sprague Avenue is `green" and no queueb exlst on the
Sprague Avenue approaches to the intersection When the westbound Spra~,~ue apprQac.h is `rcd"
or queued, ramp vehicles are 1tkely to approach the merge gore neat the intersection cautiously at
low speeds as t11ey do now, cince they must also stop at the red light With full buildoLit vf the site,
the thrtc access pointb untu Sprdgue Avenue will minimsze the need for euSlomers trom the

As uidicated in the results in Table 2, even with a three-]ane ramp approach to the intc;rsectaon, thcS
intersection would not operatc at an acceptablc lc,vrl of setvice durins the werkday p m peak hour
Tlvs wauld be an expensive and temporary solution until thc new I-90 interchailge were built, with
clWlenging nght-csf way anci desio implications Based on this, as well as thc, results of thc wcave
analysis, it ts our plofessional judgement that the intersection would operate best and acceptably
vhth the existing configuration until the new intercharage is bwlt
Sprague/Fancher operativns and queuing assumu:g rrew I-90 rarrmp
lntersection tuming volumec for Sprague/Fancher under the assnmed new freeway interchange
configuration were denved by re-assigning ] 997 p m peak vAth-site traffic volumes (as indicated
in our T1A, 2010 SRTC modcl votumes appcxr to insufficIently CaIibrated in lhe local sub-a.iea to
draw reliable conelusions from them) A traffic ogerattons analysis evaluated the level of conflict
between southhound lefr-ttirns (Hame Depot eXiun, traflic,) and nortlibout3d thrnugh traffic (off-
ramp traffic), to determine the storage requirements for eastbound left-turns on Sprague Avenue
The results of the level of service analysts are shown in Table 3

Tlae re$ults shown in Table 3 indicate that for 1497 conditions aasuming the new heeway rarnp, the
Sprague/Fancher intersection would continue to operate at an acceptable lcvel of Service The
analysls incbcated that the majonty ot off•ramp traffic would turn left onta Sprague Avenue to travcl
west This volume would "balonce" with southbourxd-to-castbound traffic, whIc.h rxits from the
[iome Depot site enabting the intersection to operate in an efTieient manner
The results of d2c eastbound left-turn storage requlrement Analysrs conditions indicated that, for a
95 percent confidence interval, storage for nine vehicles (225 feet) would be iequired (see attached
calculation) The existing leR-turn storage bay is approximately 240 feet in lengnh
In summary, che results ofthe above-described analyses combined with professional judgement lead
us to the following conclusions
~ The Ilomo Depat traffic impacts would not caust a nced for iitipruvCmLnts tci the nonh leg
of the Sprague Avenue/Fancher Road intersection
• Velucles maneuvenng frnm the 1-90 off-ramp conflicting wirh westbound traffic. on Sprague

Re Proposed Home Depot at Fancher and
Sprague Avenue
Dear Ms Bjordahl
Please accept the revised letter contained below in place of our prevlous September 4th
correspondence on this matter
After reviewnng the traffic study that has been subrrutted regarding the above proposed
development, the Wastungton State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has recogruzed
that this development will have certain impacts to traffic circulation in the immediate area
wluch can be rrutigated To rrutigate these probable adverse impacts we would ask that the
following conditions (that are shown in italic) be attached under the SEPA documentation
prepared for this site
1 That the applicant shall fund and construct the widenmg of Fancher Road as shown m
the approved County Road Plans, Fancher Road CRP 239812582, from the end of the
existing five lane section south to the Sprague Averrue intersection In addinon the
outside westbound thru lane of Sprague Avenue shall be designated to provrde for a thru
and righf turn movement at thrs mtersectiorr
The above mitigation is needed to ensure that the intersection of Fancher and Sprague
Avenue operates at an acceptable level of service In addition, tlvs wndenung will provide a
protected nght turn movement from Sprague Avenue onto Fancher which will reduce the
queue length in the existing nght turn pocket allowing the interchange off ramp to
function in a more acceptable manner These additional lanes would provide the
opportunuty to designate the outside westbound thru lane on Sprague Avenue as a thru
and nght turn lane to alleviate a portion of the merge that would need to occur vvith the
ramp traffic, again improving ramp function
It should also be noted that the applicants traffic analysis modeled Fancher as a 4 lane
roadway Fancher presently is constrained to that of a 2 lane roadway by the uridth
currently provlded just north of the Sprague/Fancher intersection The vnderung of this
section of road from the existing 5 lane section to the Sprague/Fancher intersection will
provlde agreement between the actual road section and the applicants traffic analysis
2 The apphcant shall construct a sewer hne to the Home Depot site and shall extend a
sewer connection stub directly to the north property boundary of ihe neighborrng
WSDOT parcel number 06-03300 (Denny's Restaurant) at a point sansfactory to
.F ♦
Ms Bjordahl

WSDOT The apphcant shall also consent to and allow access from WSDOT parcel
number 06-03300 to the sewer line on the Home Depot site whether or not that sewer line
is wrthrn a city or county sewer service area
3 The applrcant shall provide a"stagnation loop" on the I-90 Sprague Avenue Westbound
off ramp at a locahon satisfactory to WSDOT As part of ihe installation of this
stagnation loop, the appliccmt wrll be requrred to provide the needed connectrons to make
this loop functron with the County's signal controller
Tlvs stagnation loop would provide additional green time on Sprague Avenue westbound,
allowing any traffic queue that may have butlt up a chance to clear providing the ramp
traffic an opportunity to merge vvith the Sprague Avenue traffic Because this would be
installed as a stagnation loop it would only be called into operation when an operational
difficulty occurred on the ramp Tlus measure would again help mitigate the traffic this
development would add to this particular area
The construction of the above lmprovements shall be completed prior to occupancy of the
site, provrded the right of way and easement needed for constrcrction of items I and 2
above are provrded by WSDOT Failure by WSDOT fo obtam the needed right of way
and easemenfs shall not delay the issuance of a building permit or occupcmcy of this site
Furthermore the applrccmt shall be released of conditions 1 and 2 above lf WSDOT fatls
to obtarn the needed right of way and easements wrthtn S years after the finalrzation of
this zone change
In addition to the above requested SEPA rrutigation we would ask that the following
conditions of approval be applied to this proposed development
• Signage on ttus site that is visible to I-90 shall be reviewed by WSDOT pnor to its
construction for conformance with the Scenic Vistas Act
If you should have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Leonard Cash in our
planrung department at 324-6199

a sewer line to the eastern boundary of the Home Depot
property along the Home Depot property's south boundary
line and that a sewer stub will be provided to the
Denny's/Home Depot property line. Hookup of the Denny's
property to the sewer stub would be the property owner
and/or WSDOT's expense and, af course, be governed by the
City of Spokane/County of Spokane sewer hookup and
extension policies and agreements We have advised WSDOT
that proDected sewer line depths at the Denny's location

amuT: MAGN,WN Dear Ms. B)ordahl :
or covKsm
WM A ,,•vR"MT This letter will conf irm that the Home Depot Company has
xw e KeJ%=►+AL reviewed the Conditions proposed by the Department of
~r Transportation relative ta the above-referenced pro3ect and
xa" kn"`m has conducted discussions with Mr. Leonard Cash of WSDOT
^l--A-"-""° and Mr. Pat Harper of Spokane County Publ ic Works. Thi s
,~~~...~.~w►
letter wi 11 conf irm that the Home Depot Company agrees to
the conditions except :
(1) With regard to Condition No. 1, Mr. Bruce Robinson,
aur Traffic Engineer, is consultinq with Mr. Harper
reqarding minor changes necessary to the County Road
project referenced in Condition No. 2 to provide for a
portion of the median divider to be painted rather than a
concrete curb; and
(2) With regard to Condition No. 2, reqarding sewer
service to the Denny's site, we have advised WSDOT th&ta
the Home Depot company will, in conformance with City of
3pokane and Spokane County sewer extension policies, extend
a sewer line to the eastern boundary of the Home Depot
property along the Home Depot property's south boundary
line and that a sewer stub will be provided to the
Denny's/Home Depot property line. Hookup of the Denny's
property to the sewer stub would be the property owner
and/or WSDOT's expense and, of course, be governed by the
City of Spokane/County of Spokane sewer hookup and
extension policies and agreements. We have advised WSDOT
that projected sewer line depths at the Denny's location
may require pumping of sewage from the Dennyfs property to
access these lines.

Re Home Depot
Sprague Ave & Fancher Rd
Mr Moser
Thank you for the opporturnty to review the draft version of the above mentioned TIA
WSDOT has reviewed it for impacts to our Sprague Ave Interchange proJect on I-90
Our comments are as follows
• We are currently in the process of acquinng nght of way from the NE and NW
corners of Sprague Ave and Fancher Rd Please find enclosed a proposed
channelization plan for this intersection
• There are two issues wtuch must be addressed before lanes can be added to the
west side of Fancher at Sprague WSDOT currently has no funding available
for tlus improvement and 2) relocation of the septic system at Denny's Restaurant
Currently, there is no sewer available to the Denny's Restaurant parcel It is our
understanding that Home Depot will be extending sewer to their parcel Extension
of sewer to Denny's will allow the construction of additional lanes on Fancher
• We are concerned wnth the increased volume of vehicles turning nght from Sprague
Ave westbound to Fancher Rd conflicting with those maneuvenng from the west
bound off ramp of I-90 It is important that the potential for these conflicts be
looked at in further detail
• The traffic traveling south on Fancher Rd and then turrung east on Sprague Ave
needs to be analyzed for conflict with the westbound I-90 off ramp after the new
Sprague Ave Interchange is constructed We are also concerned vvith storage
requirements for left turns to Fancher Rd and would like to see the calculations of
the storage analysis

Thank you for your comments addressed to Mr Bill Mocer in yaur letter dated August 11, 1995
reaardin(2 out• Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed Home Depot development on Fancher Road
in east Spokane. We refer specificall), to the second, third and fourth bullet points in your letter.
Denny's Right-nf-Way
`Ue wish to clarif}, that our analyses of the Spraaue Avenue/Fancher Road intersection all assumed
the current lane geometry condition on the north leg of the intersection; namely the Denn~~'s
"bottleneck" -vvithout curb improvements. NOtwithstanding this; the analysis indicated that the
proposed development would not cause a need for anv improvements to this intersection or its
appxoacres. Hovvever; we recommended that the northbound left turn movement at the first (south)
driveway on Fancher Road be restricted during phase 1 oi the clevelopment, until either the full
improvement to the north leg of the intersection is implemented bv WSDOT, or additional site
accesses are provided on Sprague Avenue. The other drivewa}J (north) on Fancher Road would
provide sufficient access under this scenario.
T3%eave Ma►teciver
Vde analyzed the weave maneuver for westbound vehicles exiting I-90 onto Spravue Avenue
conflicting with westbound vehicles on Sprague turnina rivht onto Fancher (northbound). Ramp
volumes were provided by WSD4T on Auwst 28, 1995. It should be noted that no commonly
accepted method exists for weave analysis of a non-freeway road. The Hiahway Capacity Manual
(HCM) weave ana]~~sis is based on freev~~ay se-ments. This analysis vvas based on the new
methodology described in an article rublished in the July 1995 issue of the ITE Journal entitled
Analyrical Models of Weuving Areu Operutions Undcr Nonfi-eelVay Conditio»s by Muhammad
Shahid Iqbal. The method is based on the HCM weaving theory xvith re-calibrated equation
constants for non-freeway conditions. The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 1.

The results sho«m in Tab1e 1 indicate that for yeal- 1997 conditions with ful] buildout of the site,
acceptable weaving level of service will be maintained for westbound traffic approaching the
Sprague/Fancher intersection.
This analysis is valid for the periods when Sprague Avenue is "green" and no queues exist on the
Sprague Avenue approaches to the intersection. VVhen the westbound Spra`ue approach is "red"
or queued, ramp vehicles are Iikel}1 to approach the merge ~Jore near the intersection cautiously at
louJ speeds as they do now, since they must also stop at the red Iiaht. With full buildout of the site;
the three access points onto Sprague Avenue wi11 minimize the need for customers from the
westbound Sprague direction to use Fancher Road or weave, particularly if the «eaving zone is
experiencin,cr "constrained" operations.
Five-Pliase Traffic Sianal
Despite the favorable results of the weave an'alysis, ihe SIDR.A traffic analysis software paclcage was
used to evaluate a potential five-leo, five-phase intersection at Sprague Avenue/Fancher Road
(usina the 1994 HCM methodology). The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 2. This
analysis was perfornzed for one scenario only - the weekday p.m. peal; hour for Phasel&2
development (1997) as this was the worst-case scenario indicated in the traffic impact report.

As indicated in the results in Table even witl1 a three-lane ramp approach to the intersection. this
intersection , ~~~uld not operate at an ~cceptable level of sentice c~uriilo the ~~teel:da~~ p.m. pea~: hour.
This would be an expensive vzd temporan' solution until the new ]-94 interchanee \vere built. with
challennina riaht-of ,,Nav and :iesign implications. Based on this. as «Jell as the results of the weave
analvsis, it is aur professional judgemEnt that the intersection k\=ould operate best and acceptabl}J
",ith the existin~, confi~uraiion t,ultil tlze ne~v interchan~e is built.

in our TlA, 2010 SRT~_- model volumes appear to insufficiently calibrated in the local sub-area to
dra~N,, reliable conclusions from them). A traffic operations analysis evaluatcd the level of conflict
between. southbound lefl-turns (Home Depot exitinp trafiic) and northbound through traffic (off-
ramp traffic); to determine the storage requirements for eastbound left-turns on Sprague Avenue.
The results of the level of service analysis are sho-vvn in Table 3.
Table 3
1997 Level of Service
Intersection Delay Volume;Capacity LOS
Sprague/Fancher 30.9 0.905 D
The results shoNNm in Table 3 indicate that for 1997 conditions assumincy the new freeway ramp; the
SpraQue/Fancher intersection would continue to operate at an acceptable level of service. The
analysis indicated that the majority of off-ramp traffic would turn lefl onto SpraQue Avenue to travel
' west. This volume would "balance" with southbound-to-eastbound traffic which exits from the
Home Depot site enabling the intersection to operate in an efficient manner.
The results of the eastbound left-turn storage requirement analvsis conditions indicated that, for a
95 p.-Ircent confidence interval: storage for nine vehicles (225 feet) would be required (see attached
calculation). Tile existing left-turn storaae bay is approximately 240 feet in length.
In summat-y; the results of the above-described analyses combined witn professional judyement lead
us to the following conclusions:
• The Home Depot traffi;, impacts would not cause a need for improvements to the north leg
of the Sprac-rue Avenue/Fancher Road intersection.
• Vehicles maneuvering from the I-90 off=ramp conflictina with westbound traffic on SpraVue
Avenue turning riaht on Fancher Road will experience acceptable levels of service for
arterial weavin~.

minimize the need for weavin~, to use Failcher Road accesses.
• A five-phase siLynal at the SpraRue!Fanclier illtersection would not operate at an accelitable
level of service without major and non cost-effective improvements.

The Home Depof Sprague Avenue 8 Fancher Road-0RAFT Executive Summary
Executive Summary
The Home Depot is proposing to build a retail center in Spokane County, Washington north of
Sprague Avenue and west of Fancher Road in East Spokane. The development of the 27-acre
site will include a 130,000 square foot Home Depot store on the east part (Phase 1), two 25,000
square foot retail tenant buildings in the middle, and another major retail store on the west parc
of the site (Phase 2). Based on thc results of the traffic impact analysis described in this report.
the proposed Home Depot site can be developed while maintaining acceptable levels of servic~
and safety at the site driveways and on the surrounding transportation system. The analysis
resulted in the following findings and recommendations:
• Under worst-case conditions, Phase 1 of the proposed development is expected to
generate a total of approximately 542 trips during the fypical weekday p.m. peak hour.
Of these trips, approximately 434 trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour represent
net new trips. During a Saturday midday peak hour, the proposed development is
expected to generate a total of approximately 905 trips of which approximately 724
represent net new trips.
• Under Phase 1+2 full build-out, the proposed development is expected to generate a
total of approximately 1,568 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour. Of these
trips, approximately 1,100 represent net new trips. For a Saturday midday peak hour,
the proposed development is expected to generate a total of approximately 2,285 trips.
Of these, approximately 1,623 trips represent net new trips.
• Phase 1 access is proposed via two auto accesses and a truck acces on Fancher Road
with an additional access onto Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road from the west part of
the site.
• For Phase 2, in addition to the Phase 1 access drives, two further accesses are proposed
for Sprague Avenue. The location of these accesses will depend on property acquision
along the north side of Sprague Aver.ue. In this analysis they have been assumed to be
located opposite Howe and McKinnon Roads.
• An evaluation of stacking distance requirements revealed that the storage lengths
. provided by the proposed site plan are satisfactory provided the west acccess on Sprague
Avenue is located on Carnahan Road, or more than 500 feet east of Carnahan Road on
Sprague Avenue. • The south access on Fancher Road is constrained by the lack of sufficient storage
distance for left-turn entering vehicles. It is proposed that this access be constructed as
a right-in, left-out, right-out access, and that all left-turning entering traffic from
Fancher Road use the center and north access drives.
• The site plan provides sufficient on-site circulation to accommodate truck deliveries
and internal site traffic.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT
This analysis addresses the transportation-related impacts associated with the proposed devel-
opment of the Home Depot site at the intersection of Sprague Avenue and Fancher Road to the
east of Spoke in Spokane County; Washington. Figure 1 is a site vicinity map for the proposed
development. Specific issues discussed in this report include:
• Existing land use and traffic conditions within the project study area.
. 0 Existing traffic conditions in the site vicinity during the weekday p.m. peak hour, and
during a Saturday midday peak hour.
• Traffic operations under 1997 background traffic conditions without the proposed
development of the site.
• Trip generation and distribution estimates for the site assuming an interim Phase 1
completion; and full build-out (Phase 1+2).
• The planned internal circulation and proposed access points for the site.
• The traffic impact of the proposed site development for Phase 1 and Phase 1+2 on future
weekday pm and Saturday midday peak hour operations at key intersections in the site
vicinity
• Traffic operations at the proposed access clriveways after the assumed opening of the
development (1997) for completion of Phase 1 and Phase 1+2.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed site plan calls for the development of a 27 acre site in Spokane County,
Washington north of Sprague Avenue and west of Fancher Road. Full build-out of the site will
include a 130,000 square foot Home Depot store on the east part (Phase 1), two retail tenant
stores in the center for 25,000 square feet each, and another major 175,000 square foot retail
store (Phase 2) on the west part of the site.
Access to the site is proposed at driveway locations on Fancher Road and Sprague Avenue.
Primary access for Phase 1(Home Depot) is to be located on Fancher Road via two automobile
accesses and a truck access. A single access to the west part of the site is proposed for either
Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road depending on available land purchases.
For Phase 2, two additional access drives on Sprague Avenue are proposed. For the purposes
of this study they were assumed to ber located opposite Howe and McKinnon Roads as a worst
case scenario. Initial site construction is expected to begin in 1996, with the store openinQ in
mid-1997. Figure 2 shows the proposed site plan.

SITE CONDITIONS AND ADJACENT LAND USES
The site is presently undeveloped, and was previously used as a railroad yard. It is surrounded
by several commercial uses. A Union Pacific Railroad line runs along the northern boundary
of the site, and the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds lie to the north-west of the site. The site is
zoned Industrial which allows uses such as the previously existing railroad yard. A strip of
commercial uses exists between Sprague Avenue and the site. Access to Sprague Avenue may
need to be obtained through the purchase of some of these properties.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
The primary roadways providing access to the proposed site are Sprague Avenue to the south,
Carnahan Road (currently vacated) to the west and Fancher Road to the east.
Sprague Avenue is a major arterial street with a five lane cross section and a 35 mile per hour
speed limit. Sidewalks are generally provided on both sides of the street, but no bicycle lanes
exist. The commercial uses lining the street have many closely spaced driveway cuts giving
poorly controlled access. There is no on-street parking.
Fancher Road is an arterial street with a five-lane section adjacent to the site except at its
approach to Sprague Avenue where it narrows to a four lane section. The posted speed is 35
mph and sidewalks are provided both sides (with the exception of the Denny's frontage)
although no bicycle facilities are provided. No on-street parking is provided.
Carnahan Road is a minor street which has a stop-controlled T-intersection with Sprague
Avenue. On-street parking and sidewalks are provided. The speed limit is 25 mph. The north
leg of the intersection is currently vacated.
Figure 3 shows the existing roadway system, traffic control, and lane configurations in the
study area.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES AND ACTIVITY
Field observations revealed few bicycles in the vicinity of the proposed development, and
limited pedestrian activity occurred mainly on Sprague Avenue. No county roads in the area
have exclusive bike lanes.
TRANSIT FACILITIES
Fixed-route transit service is provided on Sprague Avenue by Spokane Transit via Route 9(East
Sprague) which provides service seven days a week. The schedule indicates service at a
20-rrunute frequency during the a.m. commute peak with 30-minute headways through the rest
of the day until 7 p.m. after which hourly service continues through 1:00 a.m. Weekend service
is approximately twice hcurly on Saturdays and once hourly on Sundays.

TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND PEAK HOUR 4PERATIONS
The traffic analysis was performed for a weekday p.m. peak hour and a Saturday midday peak
hour. Manual traffic counts were conducted during May and June 1995 at the following five
intersections: Sprague Avenue/Fancher Road, Sprague Avenue/Carnahan Road, Sprague Ave-
nue/Havana Road, Sprague Avenue/Dollar Road and Fancher RoadBroadway Avenue. In
addition, driveway counts were taken at Eagle Hardware's two driveways on Sprague Avenue.
The counts were conducted between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. on a mid-week day, and between 12:00
noon and 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday. Existing weekday p.m. and Saturday peak hour traffic
volumes are shown in Figure 4. All volumes have been rounded to the nearest five vehicles per
hour.
Current Levels of Service
All level-of-service (LOS) analyses described in this report are in accordance with the
procedures stated in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (Reference 1). Appendix A in this
report presents a description of LOS and the criteria used to determine LOS. This appendix
also explains how LOS is measured and describes what is generally considered to be the
acceptable range of LOS. To ensure that this analysis was based on a worst-case scenario, the
peak 15-minute flow rate during the weekday p.m. peak hour was used in the evaluation of all
intersection levels of service. Thus, the analysis reflects the conditions that are likely to occur
for 15 minutes out of each average weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday peak hour. For this
reason, traffic conditions during all other time periods will likely operate better than the
conditions described in this report.
Levels of service for existing signalized and unsignalized intersections are listed in Table 1 for
both weekday p.m. and Saturday peak hours. For signalized intersections, the table lists delay,
volume-to-capacity ratio, and the eorresponding LOS; for unsignalized intersections, the
reserve capaciry and conesponding LOS are given. As indicated in Table I, alI intersections within the study area presently operate at acceptable
levels of service during p.m. and Saturday midday time periods. The four signalized intersec-
tions operate at service level "C" or better, while the unsignalized intersections operate at
service level "E" or better. It should be noted that for unsignalized intersections, the level of
service reported is generally that for the minor street approach, and typically for the left-turns

from the minor street. This is therefore a level of service experienced by a small number of
vehicles, while for the majority of vehicles traveling on the uncontrolled major street, level of
service is usually significantly better. PLANNED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
Short-term Future
In the short-to-medium term, no major transportation improvements are planned for the site
vicinity.
Long-term Future
The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct the existing Sprague
Avenue Interchange by the year 2010 for which the long-term analysis for this project was
conducted. The interchange reconstruction would re-align the freeway ramps such that they
would give access directly to Fancher Road rather than Sprague Avenue. Although conceptual
plans have been in existence for some time for this project, no funding has been secured, and
there is no defined project time-line. The long-term analysis conducted for this report did
however use model volumes which assume the new orientation of traff'ic flows resulting from
the interchange reconstruction.

The Home Depoi Sprague Avenue 8 Fancher Road-0RAFT Traffic lmpacf Analysis
Traffic Impact Anaiysis
The traffic impact associated with the proposed site development during the weekday p.m. peak
hour and the Saturday midday peak hour was evaluated as follows:
• The total number of future peak hour trips was estimated for Phase 1 development and
for complete build-out (Ehase 1+2) of the site based on the proposed size of the
development.
• Background weekday and Saturday peak hour traffic estimates for the year 1997 were
selected as the basis for comparison. Based on an analysis of recent traffic growth on
site vicinity streets including Sprague Avenue, a growth factor of five percent (2.5% per
year) was used to account for future traffic growth within the study area.
• Estimated site-generated traffic was added to the 1997 background volumes to deter-
mine the future traffic operation levels at key intersections in the site vicinity and at the
proposed site access driveways for Phase 1 and Phase 1+2.
• The proposed access driveways were examined for potential signalization.
• A queuing%stacking analysis was conducted for the primary access driveways.
• The site access locations were analyzed for adequate left-turn storage and sight distance
requirements. ~
• The internal site circulation, with respect to the proposed access driveways, was
reviewed for potential operational or design deficiencies, as well as for efficient
pedestrian and bicycle operations.
The methodology summarized above and the results of the analysis are presented in detail in
the remainder of this section.
1997 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS The 1997 background traffic conditions were established by examining recent traffic growth
trends in the study area. A five percent (2.5°lo per year) area-wide growth factor was applied
to the existing peak hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 4. This growth rate was determined
by analysis of traffic growth on arterial streets in the site vicinity supplied by Spokane County
and Washinton State DOT. Figure 5 shows the estimated 1997 background traffic volumes for
the weekday p.m. peak hour and the Saturday midday peak hour, rounded to the nearest five
vehicles per hour.
Level of Service Analysis
Table 2 shows the 1997 background level of service for the weekday p.m. peak and Saturday
midday hours.
As shown in Table 2, all signalized and unsignalized intersections in the study area will continue
to operate at acceptable levels of service during the time periods analyzed, with no level of
service changes from the existing conditions analysis.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLANS
The proposed development covers a 27-acre site in East Spokane, Washington. The site lies
north of Sprague Avenue and west of Fancher Road. FuII build-out of the site will include a
130,000 square foot Home Depot store on the east part (Phase 1),with two 25,000 square foot
retail stores in the center and another major retail store (175,000 square feet) on the west part
of the site (Phase 2).
ACCESS ALTERNATIVES
Phase 1
Access for the proposed Home Depot store (Phase 1) is planned via three driveway locations
on Fancher Road and one on Sprague Avenue or the currently vacated part of Carnahan Road.
One full-movement and one limited-movement auto access, and a truck access will be located
on Fancher Road. The south-most access would be limited to right-in and left-out/right-out due
- to the lack of storage space for north-bound left-turning vehicles on Fancher Road. In addition,
one full-access drive is proposed for the west part of the site under Phase 1. This access would
be on either Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road. For the purposed of this analysis, a worst-case
assumption of loading opposite the Eagle Hardware west driveway was assumed.
Phase 2
In addition to the accesses for Phase 1, two further accesses onto Sprague Avenue are proposed
to accompany Phase 2. The locations of these accesses have yet to be determined but were
assumed to be opposite the existing Howe and McKinnon street intersections on Sprague
Avenue.
TRIP CENERATION
The proposed Home Depot development will serve primarily as a local attraction for Spokane
and East Spokane County. Estimates of weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday midday peak
hour vehicle trip ends for the proposed developments were developed from empirical observa-
Kittelson 8 Associafes, lnc. 16
June 7995
The Home Depot Sprague Avenue 8 Fancher Road-0RAFT Traffic Impaci Analysls
tions at other similar developments. These observations are summarized in the standard
reference manual, Trip Generation, Sth Edition (1991), published by the Institute of Transpor-
tation Engineers (Reference 2).
The site-generated traffic is divided into four basic types of trips:
1. Pass-by Trips-These trips currently exist on the roadways that provide primary access to
the facility and are being made fnr some purpose other than visiting the facility (for example,
a trip from work to home). Pass-by trips do not result in any increase in background traffic
volumes within the study area. Usually, the only impact of pass-by trips occurs at the site
driveways, where they become turning movements. Therefore, pass-by trips typically have no
additional effect on the road system beyond the development's driveways.
2. Internal Trips-These trips are generated by other facilities at the proposed development.
Consequently, trips are combined into one joint trip to the development (i.e., two or more
facilities in the development attract the same motorist). Internal trips result only in additional
on-site traffic and have a minimal effect on the surrounding transportation system. The only
effect internal trips may have on the surrounding system is the possibility of accessing the
center differently to reach each facility on the site.
3. Diverted Trips-These trips are currently being drawn to other commercial activities that
compete with the proposed facility, but are redirected to the new facility when it opens. This
redirection usually occurs because of an improvement in convenience and proximity for the
affected motorists. Diverted trips result in an increase in traffic volumes within the immediate
site vicinity, but also result in a decrease in traffic volumes at other locations within the area
(i.e., in the areas where the motorists used to shop). For this reason, this component of the total
generated demand causes no change in the total number of vehicle trips within the area; even
though it may add to the number of trips within the immediate site vicinity. Another side benefit
is that by diverting, these trips often cause a net reduction in total vehicle miles traveled on the
area-wide transportation system. This is a common-sense observation, as it is difficult to
imagine that many drivers would divert to a new facility in order to travel a greater distance
than they did previously.
4. New Trips-These trips would not have been made without the existence of the proposed
facility. Therefore, this is the only trip type that results in a net increase in the total number of
trips made within the area. These are also the only trips that represent additional vehicle miles
of travel on the transportation system.
Typically, 30 to 50 percent of the traffic generated from a retail center of this size on a busy
arterial street like Sprague Avenue result from vehicles already passing by the site. Table 3
shows the estimated weekday p.m. and Saturday midday peak hour trip generation character-
istics for the proposed site development, including the assumptions made for reduction made
to account for pass-by and internal trips.
As this table shows, under Phase 1 the development will generate approximately 542 trips
during a typical weekday p.m. peak hour of which 434 are considered to be new trips. During
a Saturday peak hour, there will be approximately 905 trips of which 724 are considered new
trips. At full build-out the proposed development will generate approximately 1,568 weekday
p.m. peak hour trips, of which 1,100 are considered to be new trips. During a Saturday peak
hour, there will be 2,285 trips of which 1,623 are new trips.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION/ASSIGNMENT ANALYSIS
The distribution of site-generated trips onto the roadway system within the study area was
estimated using a two-step process. First, existing traffic patterns were evaluated to determine
the direction in which traffic flows during the weekday p.m. peak hour. Second, the proposed
development's market area was forecast by zipcode and analyzed to determine both the amount
of site-generated traffic and the directions of travel. Based on the results of this analysis, it was
determined that the trip distribution shown in Figure 6 adequately represents the peak hour
traffic pattern. Based on the trip distribution estimates, traffic assignments were prepared for
the off-site intersections and the site access driveways. Figure 7 shows the assignment of
site-generated traffic during the weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday midday peak hour.
TOTAL TRAFFIC VOLUMES/OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Phase 1- Home Depot Store
The 1997 background traffic volumes for Phase 1 for the weekday p.m. and Saturday peak
hours shown in Figure 5 were added to the site-generated traffic shown in Figure 7 to arrive at
the 1997 total traffic volumes shown in Figure 8. Level of sei•vice analyses were conducted
using these volumes for the study intersections and driveways. The lane configuration and
control assumptions used are shown in Figure 9. Table 4lists the 1997 levels of service for the
intersections within the study area.

As Table 4 shows, all intersections will operate at acceptable levels of service under assumed
lane configuration and control during both weekday p.m. and Saturday midday peak hour time
periods. When the analysis results in Table 4 are compared with those in Table 2, it is evident
that the addition of new Home Depot generated trips to the roadway network does not cause
any study intersection to experience a drop in level of service. This applies for both weekday and Saturday peak hours.
SIGNAL WARRANT EVALUATiON Phase 1
An investigation was conducted to evaluate the need for the installation of traffic signals at the
primary (center) access drive on Fancher Road and at the primary (western) access onto Sprague
Aver: ue (this access could be opposite one of the Eagle Hardware access drives, or could be on
the vacated segment of Carnahan Road. A review of the peak hour traffic volumes indicated
that the Eagle driveway volumes were higher, resulting in the signal warrants being calculated
for the westem driveway location. The Minimum Vehicular Volume, Interruption of Continuous
Flow, and Peak Hour Volume warrants (Warrants 1, 2, and 11 as described in Reference 3) were
evaluated. The analysis was carried out for both weekday and Saturday peak periods. Results
of the analysis indicated that for Phase 1 development, none of the three warrants were met at
either location.
No lane configuration or intersection control mitigation was assumed under Phase 1.
Phase 2- Retail 1&2 and Major A
The 1997 background traffic volumes shown in Figure 5 were added to the site-generated traffic
for Phase 1 plus Phase 2 for the weekday p.m. and Saturday peak hours shown in Figures 10
to arrive at the 1997 total traffic volumes shown in Figure 11. Level of service analyses for

Phase 1+2 were conducted using these volumes for the study intersections and driveways. Table
5 lists the 1997 levels of service for the intersections within the study area. Figure 12 shows
the lane configuration and intersection control measures assumed for this analysis. As shown
in the figure: • the west access onto Sprague Avenue (shown at Eagle Hardware's west access drive)
was assumed signalized
• two additiooal unsignalized access drives on Sprague Avenue were assumed. For the
purposes of this analysis, these drives were aligned opposite Howe Road and McKinnon

SIGNAL WARRANT EVALUATION Phase 1+2
The Minimum Vehicular Volume, Interruption of Continuous Flow, and Peak Hour Volume
warrants (Warrants 1, 2, and 11 as described in Reference 3) were evaluated for Phase 1+2
development for 1997 traffic conditions. The results of this analysis indicated that all three warrants were met for the western Sprague
Avenue access (opposite Eagle Hardware access, or for Carnahan Road. This finding supports
the operational analysis which assumed the installation of a signal at this location.
Kittelson & Associaies, Inc. 27
June1995
The Home Depot Sprague Avenue & Fancher Road-0RAFT Traffic Impact Analys►s
For the mid access drive on Fancher Road, none of the three warrants evaluated was met, again
supporting the assumption of an unsignalized intersection in the operational analysis.
QUEUING/STACKING DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS - Phase 1+2
An analysis was conducted at the western access onto Sprague Avenue and the mid access drive
on Fancher Road. In the analysis, a Poisson distribution was applied at a 95°Io confidence level
to determine queue length probabilities. The assumed length-of-red interval was obtained from
the signal timing parameters used in the level-of-service analysis, and one vehicle was assumed
to occupy 25 feet. Table 6 summarizes the results of the storage analysis for the time period
which caused the greatest storage distance requirement.

* Time period reflects greatest storage distance requirement.
The analysis results indicated that storage required for the eastbound left-turn from Sprague
Avenue into the site would be approximately 325 feet under weekday p.m. peak hour conditions.
The proposed location of this access drive opposite the western drive to Eacrle Hardware may
not provide sufficient storage distance for left-turning vehicles, particularly when this require-
ment is combined with the left-turn storage requirement for westbound traffic on Sprague
Avenue turning onto Carnahan Road. This drive should therefore be located further to the east,
or preferably onto Carnahan Road. The intersection of Carnahan and Sprague would then be
signalized.
INTERNAL CIRCULATION
Internal site circulation characteristics of the proposed site plan were analyzed to ensure that
the site provides sufficient on-site circulation to allow for truck deliveries and internal site
traffic. The proposed access driveways provide easy access to all of the tenant locations, while
the internal roadways provide adequate truck turning radii. The right-in, left-out, right-out
access proposed for the southern Fancher Road access is necessitated by the lack of adequate
left-turn storage for vehicles entering from Fancher Road due to the 4-lane section at the
intersection with Sprague Avenue.

Long-Term Transportation
Analysis
June 1995
The Home Depof Sprague Avenue & Fancher Road-0RAFT Long-Term Transportatron Analysis
Long-Term Transportation Analysis
The anticipated impacts of the proposed slte development on the surrounding roadway system
in the long-term was analyzed with the assistance of the T-Model transportation demand
management model obtained from Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC).
The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct the existing Sprague
Avenue Interchange by the year 2010. The interchange reconstruction would re-align the
freeway ramps such that they would give access direcely to Fancher Road rather than Sprague
, Avenue. Although conceptual plans have been in existence for some time for this project, no
funding has been secured, and there is no defined project time-line. The model volumes used
in this analysis did assume the new orientation of traffic resulting from the interchange
reconstruction.
The long-term analysis was limited to Sprague Avenue and Fancher Road near the intersection
of the two streets. Table 7 shows the two-way volumes on Sprague Avenue immediately west
of Fancher Road, and on Fancher Road immediately north of Sprague Avenue under four
scenarios. The volumes shown are for a typical weekday p.m. peak hour. As indicated in Table
7, there is a significant discrepancy between the calibrated model's 1993 figures and the 1995
actual count volumes. This discrepancy may indicate a lack of accuracy in the model calibration
on the streets in question in the study area. If the model is unable to accurately replicate existing
conditions, it is likely to be unreliable for use in forecasting future conditions.

2010 model volumes assuming Phase 1+2 - site buildout. The volumes for the 2010 base
indicate a 114 percent increase in volumes on Sprague Avenue by 2010 and a 56 percent increase
in Fancher Road volumes. This is likely as result of assumed growth in Spokane as well as the
new I90/Sprague interchange. Such growth reinforces the possible need for a signalized access
on Sprague Avenue and possibly on Fancher Road in the long-term.
When the 2010 model was used to compare the base scenario with full buildout of the site under
the proposed land-use, the model predicted a nine percent increase on Sprague Avenue due to
the development, and a 12 percent increase on Fancher Road.
Signal Warrant
A signal warrant analysis performed for the long-term future indicated that by 2010 the middle access
drive on Fancher Road would warrant a signal, with all three signal warrants (VVarrants 1,2 and 11)
met. This is in addition to the signal warranted at the western access on Sprague Avenue in 1997.

June 1995
The Home Depot Sprague Avenue B Fancher Road-0RAFT Conclusions and Recommendat;ons
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the results of the traffic impact analysis described in this report, the proposed Home
Depot Site can be developed while maintaining acceptable levels of service and safety at the
site driveways and on the sunounding transportation system. The analysis resulted in the
following findings and recommendations:
• Under worst-case conditions, Phase 1 of the proposed development is expected to
generate a total of approximately 542 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour.
Of these trips> approximately 434 trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour represent
net new trips. For a Saturday midday peak hour, the proposed development is expected
to generate a total of approximately 905 trips of which approximately 724 represent net
new trips.
• Under Phase 1+2 (full build-out), the proposed development is expected to generate a
total of approximately 1,568 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour. Of these
trips, approximately 1,100 trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour represent net new
trips. For a Saturday midday peak hour, the proposed development could generate a total
of approximately 2,285 trips. Of these trips, approximately 1,623 represent net new
trips.
• Phase 1 access is proposed via two auto accesses and a truck acces on Fancher Road
with an additional access onto Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road from the west part of
the site.
• For Phase 2, in addition to the Phase 1 access drives, two further accesses are proposed
for Sprague Avenue. The location of these accesses will depend on property acquision
along the north side of Sprague Avenue. In this analysis they have been assumed to be
located opposite Howe and McKinnon Roads.
• An evaluation of stacking distance requirements revealed that the storage lengths
provided by the proposed site plan are satisfactory provided the west acccess on Sprague
Avenue is located on Carnahan Road, or more than 500 feet east of Carnahan Road on
Sprague Avenue.
• The south access on Fancher Road is constrained by the lack of sufficient storage
distance for left-turn entering vehicles. It is proposed that this access be constructed as
a right-in, left-out, right-out access, and that all left-turning entering traffic from
Fancher Road use the center and north access drives.
• The site plan provides sufficient on-site circulation to accommodate truck deliveries
and internal site traffic.

Level of service (LOS) is a concept developed to quantify the degree of comfort (including
such elements as travel time, number of stops, total amount of stopped delay, and impediments

Unsignalized Intersections
The calculation of LOS at an unsignalized intersection requires a different approach. The 1985
Highwa_y Capacity Manual inQludes a methodology for calculating the LOS at two-way,
stop-controlled intersections. For these unsignalized intersections, LOS is defined using the
concept of "reserve capacity" (i.e., that portion of available hourly capacity that is not used).
A qualitative description of the various service levels associated with an unsignaiized intersec-
tion is presented in Table A3. A quantitative definition of LOS for an unsignalized intersection
is presented in Table A4.

° *When demand volume exceeds the capacity of the lane, extreme delays will be encountered, with queueing that
may cause severe congestion and affect other traffic movements in the intersection. This condition
usually warrants intersection improvement.
The reserve capacity concept applies only to an individual traffic movement or to shared lane
movements. Once the LOS, capacity, and expected delay of all the individual movements have
been calculated, an overall evaluation of the intersection can be made. Normally, the movement
having the worst LOS defines the overall evaluation, but this may be tempered by engineering
judgment. An "E" LOS is generally considered to represent the minimum acceptable design
standard.
Experience with the unsignalized analysis procedure indicates this methodology is conservative
in that it tends to overestimate the magnitude of any potential problems. This is especially true
for minor-street, left-turn movements. For example, the Highway Capaciry Manual methodol-
ogy does not take into account the effects of vehicle flow platoons that result from upstream
signalization. Vehicles traveling in platoons tend to create greater gaps in the traffic flow, which
sometimes provide additional capacity for the side closest to the signal. Therefore, the results
of any unsignalized intersection analysis should be reviewed with this thought in mind.
Generally, LOS E for the minor-street, left-turn movement is considered to be acceptable for
an unsignalized intersection, although it also indicates that the need for signalization should
be investigated.

Ail-Way Stop Controlled Intersections2
There is no acr.epted procedure for a level-of-service analysis of an all-way, stop-controlled
intersection. The procedure used for determining LOS for a four-way or three-way stop-con-
trolled intersection differs from that described for unsignalized intersections. This methodol-
ogy, which is being reviewed by the Unsignalized Intersection Committee of the Transportation
Research Board, uses a capacity estimation method based on headways observed at all-way,
stop-controlled intersections in the western United States. The procedure incorporates several
important variables, including volume distribution, number of lanes on each approach, and the
percentage of right and left turns at the intersection. Intersection performance is measured in
parameters similar to signalized intersections: delay, volume-to-capacity ratio, and Level of
Service using a scale of "A" through "F". Approach delay on any given leg of the intersection
is calculated using the following equation:
D= exp (3.8 x SV
C
WhereD=vehicle delay on a given approach (sec/veh)
SV=subject approach volume (vehicles per hour [vph])
C=calculated approach capacity (vph) -
exp=base of natural logarithms
In this equation, the quantity SV/C is simply the volume-to-capacity ratio on the approach under
consideration. Table AS presents the LOS criteria for all-way, stop-controlled intersections.

Executive Summary
June1995
The Home Depot Sprague Avenue 8 Fancher Road-0RAFT Executive Summary
Executive Summary
The Home Depot is proposing to build a retail center in Spokane County, Washington north of
Sprague Avenue and west of Fancher Road in East Spokane. The development of the 27-acre
site will include a 130,000 square foot Home Depot store on the east part (Phase 1), two 25,000
square foot retail tenant buildings in the middle, and another major retail store on the west part
of the site (Phase 2). Based on the results of the traffic impact analysis described in this report,
the proposed Home Depot site can be developed while maintaining acceptable levels of service
and safety at the site driveways and on the surrounding transportation system. The analysis
resulted in the following findings and recommendations:
Under worst-case conditions, Phase 1 of the proposed development is expected to
generate a total of approximately 542 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour.
Of these trips, approximately 434 trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour represent
net new trips. During a Saturday midday peak hour, the proposed development is
expected to generate a total of approximately 905 trips of which approximately 724
represent net new trips. ,
• Under Phase 1+2 full build-out, the proposed development is expected to generate a
total of approximately 1,568 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour. Of these
trips, approximately 1,100 represent net new trips. For a Saturday midday peak hour,
the proposed development is expected to generate a total of approximately 2,285 trips.
Of these, approximately 1,623 trips represent net new trips.
• Phase 1 access is proposed via two auto accesses and a truck acces on Fancher Road
with an additional access onto Sprague A,venue or Carnahan Road from the west part of
the site.
• For Phase 2, in addition to the Phase 1 access drives, two further accesses are proposed
for Sprague Avenue. The Iocation of these accesses will depend on property acquision
along the north side of Sprague Avenue. In this analysis they have been assumed to be
located opposite Howe and McKinnon Roads.
• An evaluation of stacking distance requirements revealed that the storage lengths
provided by the proposed site plan are satisfactory provided the west acccess on Sprague
Avenue is located on Carnahan Road, or more than 500 feet east of Carnahan Road on
Sprague Avenue.
• The south access on Fancher Road is constrained by the lack of sufficient storaQe
distance for left-turn entering vehicles. It is proposed that this access be constructed as
a right-in, left-out, right-out access, and that all left-turning entering traffic from
Fancher Road use the center and north access drives.
• The site plan provides sufficient on-site circulation to accommodate truck deliveries
. and internal site traffic.

SCOPE OF THE REPORT
This analysis addresses the transportation-related impacts associated with the proposed devel-
opment of the Home Depot site at the intersection of Sprague Avenue and Fancher Road to the
east of Spoke in Spokane County; Washington. Figure 1 is a site vicinity map for the proposed
development. Specific issues discussed in this report include:
• Existing land use and traffic conditions within the project study area.
• Existing traffic conditions in the site vicinity during the weekday p.m. peak hour, and
during a Saturday midday peak hour.
• Traffic operations under 1997 background traffic conditions without the proposed
development of the site.
• Trip generation and distribution estimates for the site assuming an interim Phase 1
completion; and full build-out (Phase 1+2).
• The planned internal circulation and proposed access points for the site.
• The traffic impact of the proposed site development for Phase 1 and Phase 1+2 on future
weekday pm and Saturday midday peak hour operations at key intersections in the site
vicinity
• Traffic operations at the proposed access driveways after the assumed opening of the
development (1997) for completion of Phase 1 and Phase 1+2.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed site plan calls for the development of a 27 acre site in Spokane County.
Washington north of Sprague Avenue and west of Fancher Road. Full build-out of the site will
include a 130,000 square foot Home Depot store on the east part (Phase 1), two retail tenant
stores in the center for 25,000 square feet each, and another major 175,000 square foot retail
store (Phase 2) on the west part of the site.
Access to the site is proposed at driveway locations on Fancher Road and Sprague Avenue.
Primary access for Phase 1(Home Depot) is to be located on Fancher Road via two automobile
accesses and a truck access. A single access to the west part of the site is proposed for either
Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road depending on available land purchases.
For Phase 2, two additional access drives on Sprague Avenue are proposed. For the purposes
of this study they were assumed to ber located opposite Howe and McKinnon Roads as a worst
case scenario. Initial site construction is expected to begin in 1996, with the store opening in
mid-1997. Figure 2 shows the proposed site plan.

SITE CONDITIONS AND ADJACENT LAND USES
The site is presently undeveloped, and was previously used as a railroad yard. It is surrounded
by several commercial uses. A Union Pacific Railroad line runs along the northern boundary
of the site, and the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds lie to the north-west of the site. The site is
zoned Industrial which allows uses such as the previously existing railroad yard. A strip of
commercial uses exists between Sprague Avenue and the site. Access to Sprague Avenue may
need to be obtained through the purchase of some of these properties.
TFiANSPORTATION FACtLIT1ES
The primary roadways providing access to the proposed site are Sprague Avenue to the south,
Carnahan Road (currently vacated) to the west and Fancher Road to the east.
Sprague Avenue is a major arterial street with a five lane cross section and a 35 mile per hour
speed limit. Sidewalks are generally provided on both sides of the street, but no bicycle lanes
exist. The commercial uses lining the street have many closely spaced driveway cuts giving
poorly controlled access. There is no on-street parking.
Fancher Road is an arterial street with a five-lane section adjacent to the site except at its
approach to Sprague Avenue where it narrows to a four lane section. The posted speed is 35
mph and sidewalks are provided both sides (with the exception of the Denny's frontage)
although no bicycle facilities are provided. No on-street parking is provided.
Carnahan Road is a minor street which has a stop-controlled T-intersection with Sprague
Avenue. On-street parking and sidewalks are provided. The speed limit is 25 mph. The north
leg of the intersection is currently vacated.
Figure 3 shows the existing roadway system, traffic control, and lane configurations in the
study area.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES AND ACTIVITY
Field observations revealed few bicycles in the vicinity of the proposed development, and
limited pedestrian activity occurred mainly on Sprague Avenue. No county roads in the area
have exclusive bike lanes.
TRANSIT FACILITIES '
Fixed-route transit service is provided on Sprague Avenue by Spokane Transit via Route 9(East
Sprague) which provides service seven days a week. The schedule indicates service at a
20-minute frequenc'y during the a.m. commute peak with 30-minute headways throuLh the rest
of the day until7 p.m. after which hourly service continues through 1:00 a.m. Weekend service
is approximately twice hourly on Saturdays and once hourly on Sundays.

TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND PEAK HOUR OPERATIONS
The traffic analysis was performed for a weekday p.m. peak hour and a Saturday midday peak
hour. Manual traffic counts were conducted during May and June 1995 at the following five
intersections: Sprague Avenue/Fancher Road, Sprague Avenue/Carnahan Road, Sprague Ave-
nue/Havana Road, Sprague Avenue/Dollar Road and Fancher RoadBroadway Avenue. In
addition, driveway counts were taken at Eagle Hardware's two driveways on Sprague Avenue.
The counts were conducted betwe'en 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. on a mid-week day, and between 12:00
noon and 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday. Existing weekday p.m. and Saturday peak hour traffic
volumes are shown in Figure 4. All volumes have been rounded to the nearest five vehicles per
hour.
Current Levels of Service
All level-of-service (LOS) analyses described in this report are in accordance with the
procedures stated in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (Reference 1). Appendix A in this
report presents a description of LOS and the criteria used to determine LOS. This appendix
also explains how LOS is measured and describes what is generally considered to be the
acceptable range of LOS. To ensure that this analysis was based on a worst-case scenario, the
peak 15-minute flow rate during the weekday p.m. peak hour was used in the evaluation of all
intersection levels of service. Thus, the analysis reflects the conditions that are likely to occur
for 15 minutes out of each average weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday peak hour. For this
reason, traffic conditions during all other time periods will likely operate better than the
conditions described in this report.
Levels of service for existing signalized and unsignalized intersections are listed in Table 1 for
both weekday p.m. and Saturday peak hours. For signalized intersections, the table lists delay,
volume-to-capacity ratio, and the corresponding LOS; for unsignalized intersections, the
reserve capacity and corresponding LOS are given.
As indicated in Table 1, all intersections within the study area presently operate at acceptable
levels of service during p.m. and Saturday midday time pe:iods. The four signalized intersec-
tions operate at service level "C" or better, while the unsignalized intersections operate at
service level "E" or better. It should be noted that for unsignalized intersections, the level of
service reported is generally that for the minor street approach, and typically for the left-turns

from the minor street. This is therefore a level of service experienced by a small number of
vehicles, while for the majority of vehicles traveling on the uncontrolled major street, level of
service is usually significantly better.
PLANNED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
Short-term Future
In the short-to-medium term, no major transportation improvements are planned for the site
' vicinity.
Long-term Future
The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct the existing Sprague
Avenue Interchange by the year 2010 for which the long-term analysis for this project was
conducted. The interchange reconstruction would re-align the freeway ramps such that they
would give access directly to Fancher Road rather than Sprague Avenue. Although conceptual
plans have been in existence for some time for this project, no funding has been secured, and
there is no defined project time-line. The long-term analysis conducted for this report did
however use model volumes which assume the new orientation of traffic flows resulting from
the interchange reconstruction.

Traffic Impact Analysis
June1995
The Home Depot Sprague Avenue & Fancher Road-0RAFT Traffic /mpact Analysrs
Traffic Impact Anafysis
The traffic impact associated with the proposed site development during the weekday p.m. peak
hour and the Saturday midday peak hour was evaluated as follows:
• The total number of future peak hour trips was estimated for Phase I development and
for complete build-out (Phase 1+2) of the site based on the proposed size of the
development.
, • Background weekday and Saturday peak hour traffic estimates for the year 1997 were
selected as the basis for comparison. Based on an analysis of recent traffic growth on
site vicinity streets including Sprague Avenue, a growth factor of five percent (2.5% per
year) was used to account for future traffic growth within the study area.
• Estimated site-generated traffic was added to the 1997 background volumes to deter-
mine the future traffic operation levels at key intersections in the site vicinity and at the
proposed site access driveways for Phase 1 and Phase 1+2.
• The proposed access driveways were examined for potential signalization.
• A queuing/stacking analysis was conducted for tlie primary access driveways.
• The site access locations were analyzed for adequate left-turn storage and sight distance
requirements.
• The internal site circulation, with respect to the proposed access driveways, was
reviewed for potential operational or design deficiencies, as well as for efficient
pedestrian and bicycle operations.
The methodology summarized above and the results of the analysis are presented in detail in
the remainder of this section.
1997 BACKCROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The 1997 background traffic conditions were established by examining recent traffic growth
trends in the study area. A five percent (2.5% per year) area-wide growth factor was applied
to the existing peak hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 4. This growth rate was determined
by analysis of traffic growth on arterial streets in the site vicinity supplied by Spokane County
and Washinton State DOT. Figure 5 shows the estimated 1997 background traffic volumes for
the weekday p.m. peak hour and the Saturday midday peak hour, rounded to the nearest five
vehicles per hour.
Level of Service Analysis
Table 2 shows the 1997 background level of service for the weekday p.m. peak and Saturday
midday hours.
As shown in Table 2, all signalized and unsignalized intersections in the study area will continue
to operate at acceptable levels of service during the time periods analyzed, with no level of
service changes from the existing conditions analysis.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLANS
The proposed development covers a 27-acre site in East Spokane, Washington. The site lies
north of Sprague Avenue and west of Fancher Road. Full build-out of the site will include a
130,000 square foot Home Depot store on the east part (Phase 1),with two 25,000 square foot
retail stores in the center and another major retail store (175,000 square feet) on the west part
of the site (Phase 2).
ACCESS ALTERNATiVES
Phase 1
Access for the proposed Home Depot store (Phase 1) is planned via three driveway locations
on Fancher Road and one on Sprague Avenue or the currently vacated part of Carnahan Road.
One full-movement and one limited-movement auto access, and a truck access will be located
on Fancher Road. The south-most access would be limited to right-in and left-out/right-out due
- to the lack of storage space for north-bound left-turning vehicles on Fancher Road. In addition,
one full-access drive is proposed for the west part of the site under Phase 1. This access would
be on either Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road. For the purposed of this analysis, a worst-case
assumption of loading opposite the Eagle Hardware west driveway was assumed.
Phase 2
In addition to the accesses for Phase 1, two further accesses onto Sprague Avenue are proposed
to accompany Phase 2. The locations of these accesses have yet to be determined but were
assumed to be opposite the existing Howe and McKinnon street intersections on Sprague
Avenue.
TRIP GENERATION
The proposed Home Depot development will serve primarily as a local attraction for Spokane
and East Spokane County. Estimates of weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday midday peak
hour vehicle trip ends for the proposed developments were developed from empirical observa-

tions at other similar developments. These observations are summarized in the standard
reference manual, Trip Generation, Sth Edition (1991), published bNl the Institute of Transpor-
tation Engineers (Reference 2).
The site-generated traffic is divided into four basic types of trips:
1. Pass-by Trips-These trips currently exist on the roadways that provide primary access to
the facilitv and are being made for some purpose other than visiting the facility (for example,
a trip from work to home). Pass-by trips do not result in any increase in background traffic
volumes within the study area. Usually, the only impact of pass-by trips occurs at the site
driveways, where they become turning movenients. Therefore, pass-by trips typically have no
additional effect on the road system beyond the development's driveways.
2. Internal Trips-These trips are generated by other facilities at the proposed development.
Consequently, trips are combined into one joint trip to the development (i.e., two or more
facilities in the development attract the same motorist). Internal trips result only in additional
on-site traffic and have a minimal effect on the surrounding transportation system. The only
effect internal trips may have on the surrounding system is the p::Nssibility of accessing. the
center differently to reach each facility on the site.
3. Diverted Trips-These trips are currently being drawn to other commercial activities that
compete with the proposed facility, but are redirected to the new facility when it opens. This
redirection usually occurs because of an improvement in convenience and proximity for the
affected motorists. Diverted trips result in an increase in traffic volumes within the immediate
site vicinity, but also result in a decrease in traffic volumes at other locations within the area
(i.e., in the areas where the motorists used to shop). For this reason, this component of the total
generated demand causes no change in the total number of vehicle trips within the area, even
though it may add to the number of trips within the immediate site vicinity. Another side benefit
is that by diverting, these trips often cause a net reduction in total vehicle miles traveled on the
area-wide transportation system. This is a common-sense observation, as it is difficult to
imagine that many drivers would divert to a new facility in order to travel a greater distance
than they did previously.
4. New Trips-These trips would not have been made without the existence of the proposed
facility. Therefore, this is the only trip type that results in a net increase in the total number of
trips made within the area. These are also the only trips that represent additional vehicle miles
of travel on the transportation system.
Typically, 30 to 50 percent of the traffic generated from a retail center of this size on a busy
arterial street like Sprague Avenue result from vehicles already passing by the site. Table 3
shows the estimated weekday p.m. and Saturday midday peak hour trip generation character-
istics for the proposed site development, including the assumptions made for reduction made
to account for pass-by and internal trips.
As this table shows, under Phase 1 the development will generate approximately 542 trips
during a typical weekday p.m. peak hour of which 434 are considered to be new trips. During
a Saturday peak hour, there will be approximately 905 trips of which 724 are considered new
trips. At full build-out the proposed development will generate approximately 1,568 weekda~~
p.m. peak hour trips, of which 1,100 are considered to be new trips. Durincy a Saturday peak
hour, there will be 2,285 trips of which 1,623 are new trips.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION/ASSIGNMENT ANALYSIS
The distribution of site-generated trips onto the roadway system within the study area was
estimated using a two-step process. First, existing traffic patterns were evaluated to deternune
the direction in which traffic flows during the weekday,p.m. peak hour. Second, the proposed
development's market area was forecast by zipcode and analyzed to determine both the amount
of site-generated traffic and the directions of travel. Based on the results of this analysis, it was
detennined that the trip distribution shown in Figure 6 adequately represents the peak hour
traffic pattern. Based on the trip distribution estimates, traffic assignments were prepared for
the off-site intersections and the site access driveways. Figure 7 shows the assignment of
site-generated traffic during the weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday midday peak hour.
TOTAL TRAFFIC VOLUMES/OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Phase 1- Home Depot Store
The 1997 background traffic volumes for Phase 1 for the weekday p.m. and Saturday peak
hours shown in Figure 5 were added to the site-generated traffic shown in Figure 7 to arrive at
the 1997 total traffic volumes shown in Figure 8. Level of service analyses were conducted
using these volumes for the study intersections and driveways. The lane configuration and
control assumptions used are shown in Figure 9. Table 4 lists the 1997 levels of service for the
intersections within the study area.

As Table 4 shows, all intersections will operate at acceptable levels of service under assumed
lane configuration and control during both weekday p.m. and Saturday midday peak hour time
periods. When the analysis results in Table 4 are compared with those in Table 2, it is evident
that the addition of new Home Depot generated trips to the roadway network does not cause
any study intersection to experience a drop in level of service. This applies for both weekday
and Saturday peak hours.
SIGNAL WARRANT EVALUATION Phase 1
An investigation was conducted to evaluate the need for the installation of traffic signals at the
primary (center) access drive on Fancher Road and at the primary (western) access onto Sprague
Aver, ue (this access could be opposite one of the Eagle Hardware access drives, or could be on
the vacated segment of Carnahan Road. A review of the peak hour traffic volumes indicated
that the Eagle driveway volumes were higher, resulting in the signal warrants being calculated
for the western driveway location. The Minimum Vehicular Volume, Interruption of Continuous
Flow, and Peak Hour Volume warrants (Warrants 1, 2, and 11 as described in Reference 3) were
evaluated. The analysis was carried out for both weekday and Saturday peak periods. Results
of the analysis indicated that for Phase 1 development, none of the three warrants were met at
either location.
No lane configuration or intersection control mitigation was assumed under Phase 1.
Phase 2- Retail 1&2 and Major A
The 1997 background traffic volumes shown in Figure 5 were added to the site-generated traffic
for Phase 1 plus Phase 2 for the weekday p.m. and Saturday peak hours shown in Figures 10
to arrive at the 1997 total traffic volumes shown in Fi~ure 11. Level of service analyses for

Phase 1+2 were conducted using these volumes for the study intersections and driveways. Table
5 lists the 1997 levels of service for the intersections within the study area. Figure 12 shows
the lane configuration and intersection control measures assumed for this analysis. As shown
in the figure: • the west access onto Sprague Avenue (shown at Eagle Hardware's west access drive)
was assumed signalized
• two additional unsignalized access drives on Sprague Avenue were assumed. For the
purposes of this analysis, these drives were aligned opposite Howe Road and McKinnon

SIGNAL WARRANT EVALUATION Phase 1+2
The Minimum Vehicular Volume, Interruption of Continuous Flow, and Peak Hour Volume
warrants (Warrants 1, 2, and 11 as described in Reference 3) were evaluated for Phase 1+2
development for 1997 traffic conditions.
The results of this analysis indicated that all three warrants were met for the western Spraszue
Avenue access (opposite Eagle Hardware access, or for Carnahan Road. This findincy supports
the operational analysis which assumed the installation of a signal at this location.
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. 27

The Home Depoi Sprague Avenue & Fancher Road-0RAFT Tratfic lmpact Anafysis
For the mid access drive on Fancher Road, none of the three warrants evaluated was met, again
supporting the assumption of an unsignalized intersection in the operational analysis.
QUEUING/STACKING DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS - Phase 1+2
An analysis was conducted at the western access onto Sprague Avenue and the mid access drive
on Fancher Road. In the analysis,, a Poisson distribution was applied at a 95% confidence level
to determine queue length probabilities. The assumed length-of-red interval was obtained from
the signal timing parameters used in the level-of-service analysis, and one vehicle was assumed
to occupy 25 feet. Table 6 summarizes the results of the storage analysis for the time period
which caused the greatest storage distance requirement.

* Time period reflects greatest storage distance requirement.
The analysis results indicated that storage required for the eastbound left-turn from Sprague
Avenue into the site would be approximately 325 feet under weekday p.m. peak hour conditions.
The proposed location of this access drive opposite the western drive to Eagle Hardware may
not provide sufficient storage distance for left-turning vehicles, particularly when this require-
ment is combined with the left-turn storage requirement for westbound traffic on Sprague
Avenue turning onto Carnahan Road. This drive should therefore be located further to the east,
or preferably onto Carnahan Road. The intersection of Carnahan and Sprague would then be
signalized.
INTERNAL CIRCULATION
Internal site circulation characteristics of the proposed site plan were analyzed to ensure that
the site provides sufficient on-site circulation to allow for truck deliveries and internal site
traffic. The proposed access driveways provide easy access to all of the tenant locations, while
the internal roadways provide adequate truck turning radii. The right-in, left-out, right-out
access proposed for the southern Fancher Road access is necessitated by the lack of adequate
left-turn storage for vehicles entering from Fancher Road due to the 4-lane section at the
intersection with Sprague Avenue.

Long-Term Transportation Analysis
The anticipated impacts of the proposed site development on the surrounding roadway system
in the long-term was analyzed with the assistance of the T-Model transportation demand
management model obtained from Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC).
The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct the existing Sprague
Avenue Interchange by the year 2010. The interchange reconstruction would re-align the
freeway ramps such that they would give access directly to Fancher Road rather than Sprague
Avenue. Although conceptual plans have been in existence for some time for this project, no
funding has been secured, and there is no defined project time-line. The model volumes used
in this analysis did assume the new orientation of traffic resulting from the' interchange
reconstruction.
The long-term analysis was limited to Sprague Avenue and Fancher Road near the intersection
of the two streets. Table 7 shows the two-way volumes on Sprague Avenue immediately west
of Fancher Road, and on Fancher Road immediately north of Sprague Avenue under four
scenarios. The volumes shown are for a typical weekday p.m. peak hour. As indicated in Table
7, there is a significant discrepancy between the calibrated model's 1993 figures and the 1995
actual count volumes. This discrepancy may indicate a lack of accuracy in the model calibration
on the streets in question in the study area. If the model is unable to accurately replicate existing
conditions, it is likely to be unreliable for use in forecasting future conditions.

Also shown in the Table are 2010 base model volumes (i.e. with no development assumed) and
2010 model volumes assuming Phase 1+2 - site buildout. The volumes for the 2010 base
indicate a 114 percent increase in volumes on Sprague Avenue by 2010 and a Sb percent increase
in Fancher Road volumes. This is likely as result of assumed growth in Spokane as well as the
new I90/Sprague interchange. Such growth reinforces the possible need for a signalized access
on Sprague Avenue and possibly on Fancher Road in the long-term.
When the 2010 model was used to compare the base scenario with full buildout of the site under
the proposed land-use, the model predicted a nine percent increase on Sprague Avenue due to
the development, and a 12 percent increase on Fancher Road.
Signal Warrant
A signal warrant analysis performed for the long-term future indicated that by 2010 the middle access
drive on Fancher Road would warrant a signal, with all three signal warrants (Warrants 1,2 and 11)
met. This is in addition to the signal warranted at the western access on Sprague Avenue in 1997.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the results of the traffic impact analysis described in this report, the proposed Home
Depot Site can be developed while maintaining acceptable levels of service and safety at the
site drive,%,ays and on the surrounding transportation system. The analysis resulted in the
following findings and recommendations:
• Under worst-case conditions, Phase 1 of the proposed development is expected to
generate a total of approximatel}- 542 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour.
' Of these trips, approximately 434 trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour represent
net new trips. For a Saturday midday peak hour, the proposed development is expected
to generate a total of approximately 905 trips of which approximately 724 represent net
new trips.
• Under Phase 1+2 (full build-out), the proposed development is expected to generate a
total of approximately 1,568 trips during the typical weekday p.m. peak hour. Of these
trips, approximately 1,100 trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour represent net new
trips. For a Saturday midday peak hour, the proposed development could generate a total
of approximately 2,285 trips. Of these trips, approximately 1,623 represent net new
trips.
• Phase 1 access is proposed via two auto accesses and a truck acces on Fancher Road
with an additional access onto Sprague Avenue or Carnahan Road from the west part of
the site.
• For Phase 2, in addition to the Phase 1 access drives, two further accesses are proposed
for Sprague Avenue. The location of these accesses will depend on property acquision
along the north side of Sprague Avenue. In this analysis they have been assumed to be
located opposite Howe and McKinnon Roads.
• An evaluation of stacking distance requirements revealed that the storage lengths
provided by the proposed site plan are satisfactory provided the west acccess on Sprague
Avenue is located on Carnahan Road, or more than 500 feet east of Carnahan Road on
Sprague Avenue.
• The south access on Fancher Road is constrained by the lack of sufficient storage
distance for left-turn entering vehicles. It is proposed that this access be constructed as
a right-in, left-out, right-out access, and that all left-turning entering traffic from
Fancher_Road use the center and north access drives.
• The site plan provides sufficient on-site circulation to accommodate truck deliveries
and internal site traffic.

Level of Service Concept '
Level of service (LOS) is a concept developed to quantify the degree of comfort (including
such elements as travel time, number of stops, total amount of stopped delay, and impediments
caused by other vehicles) afforded to drivers as they travel through an intersection or roadway
segment. Six grades are used to denote the various LOS from A to F.1

Level of '
Service Average Delay per Vehicie to Minor Street 1
, A Very low average stopped delay, less than five seconds per vehicle. This occurs when progression ~
~ is extremely favorable, and most vehicles arrive during the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop ~
at all. Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay. ~
B Average stop delay is in the range of 5.1 to 15.0 seconds per vehicle. This generally occurs with
good progression and/or short cycle lengths. More vehicles stop than for a LOS A, causing higher
levels of average delay.
' C Average stopped delay is in the range of 15.1 to 25.0 seconds per vehicle. These higher defays
may result from fair progression and/or longer cycle lengths. Individuat cycle failures may begin to ~
appear at this leve(. The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level, although many still i
pass through the intersection without stopping.
D Average stopped delays are in the range of 25.1 to 40.0 seconds per vehicle. The influence of
~ congestion becomes more noticeable. Longar delays may result from some combination of
~ unfavorable progression, long cycle length, or high volume/capacity ratios. Many vehicles stop, ~
Iand the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable. ~
E Average stopped delays are in the range of 40.1 to 60.0 seconds per vehicle. This is considered to
be the fimit of acceptable delay.These high delay values generally indicate poor progression, long I
' cycle lengths, and high volume/capacity ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences.
F Average stop delay is in excess of 60 seconds per vehicle. This is considered to be unacceptable i
to most drivers. This condition often occurs with oversaturation. It may also occur at high
~ volume/capacity ratios below 1.00 with many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long
cycle lengths may also contribute to such high delay levels.

Unsignalized Intersections
The calculation of LOS at an unsignalized intersection requires a different approach. The 1985
Highway Capacity Manual includes a methodology for calculating the LOS at two-way,
stop-controlled intersections. For these unsignalized intersections, LOS is defined using the
concept of "reserve capacity" (i.e., that portion of available hourly capacity that is not used).
A qualitative description of the various service levels associated with an unsignalized intersec-
tion is presented in Table A3. A quantitative definition of LOS for an unsignalized intersection
is presented in Table A4.

* F * *When demand volume exceeds the capacity of the lane, extreme delays will be encountered, with queueing that
may cause severe congestion and affect other traffic movements in the intersection. This condiUOn
usually warrants intersection improvement
The reserve capacity concept applies only to an individual traffic movement or to shared lane
movements. Once the LOS, capacity, and expected delay of all the individual movements have
been calculated, an overall evaluation of the intersection can be made. Normally, the movement
having the worst LOS defines the overall evaluation, but this may be tempered by engineering
judgment. An "E" LOS is generally considered to represent the minimum acceptable design
standard.
Experience with the unsignalized analysis procedure indicates this methodology is conservative
in that it tends to overestimate the magnitude of any potential problems. This is especially true
for minor-street, left-turn movements. For example, the Highway Capaciry Manual methodol-
ogy does not take into account the effects of vehicle flow platoons that result from upstream
signalization. Vehicles traveling in platoons tend to create greater gaps in the traffic flow, which
sometimes provide additional capacity for the side closest to the signal. Therefore, the results
of any unsignalized intersection analysis should be reviewed with this thought in mind.
Generally, LOS E for the minor-street, left-turn movement is considered to be acceptable for
an unsignalized intersection, although it also indicates that the need for signalization should
be investigated.

All-Way Stop Controiled Intersections2
There is no accepted procedure for a level-of-service analysis of an all-way, stop-controlled
intersection. The procedure used for determining LOS for a four-wav or three-wa}, stop-con-
trolled intersection differs from that described for unsignalized intersections. This methodol-
ogy, which is being reviewed by the Unsignalized Intersection Committee of the Transportation
Research Board, uses a capacity estimation method based on headways observed at all-way.
stop-controlled intersections in the western United States. The procedure incorporates several
important variables, includin(y volume distribution, number of lanes on each approach, and the
percentage of right and left turns at the intersection. Intersection performance is measured in
parameters similar to signalized intersections: delay, volume-to-capacity ratio, and Level of
Service using a scale of "A" through "F". Approach delay on any given leg of the intersection
is calculated using the following equation:
D= exp (3.8 x S V
C
WhereD=vehicle delay on a given approach (sec/veh)
SV=subject approach volume (vehicles per hour [vph])
C=calculated approach capacity (vph)
exp=base of natural logarithms
In this equation, the quantity S V/C is simply the volume-to-capacity ratio on the approach under
consideration. Table AS presents the LOS criteria for all-way, stop-controlled intersections.
