Elizabeth,
There calculations for 81 towhnhomes/ condominiums generating 537 trips according to land use code 230 are correct.
Typically a single unit house generates approximately 10 trips per day but when you go to condos, apartments and
townhomes, you see values are 6 trips per day per unit.
Thanks
Joel

Joel,
Pavillions at pantops Phase 3 has resubmitted plans to me and addressed comments from the previous submitta.. I see
you approved the plans back on Dec 10, but I need to consult with you on one issue:
The traffic counts they presented in the set you reviewed and approved were significantly less than on previous
submittals (currently they are stating estimated traffic generation at 537 ADT for 81 townhouse units) I asked them to
please address the decrease, and their response was:
The traffic number previously reported was based on 10 vehicle trips per day per unit. The traffic generation
number now reported is based on the ITE 7`" Edition Trip Generation (for townhouse ITE Code 230 equation Ln(T) =0.85
Ln(X)2.55). A copy is attached for your used.
I just need to verify with you that you reviewed the change and find this method acceptable.
