The proposed development will be located along Smokey Row Road, west of the Monon Trail and south of Meridian Street(US 31). The proposed development is made up of several land uses. Trip generation for each land use was calculated per the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation Manual_Oh Edition (2017). The table below summarizes the results of the trip generation: ITE Land Use Peak Entering Exiting 710 General Office Building AM 86% 50 14% 8 (33.5 GFA) PM 16% 6 84% 34 820 Shopping Center AM 62% 99 38% 61 (16.75 GLA) PM 48% 70 52% 75 221 Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) AM 26% 24 74% 67 (270 DU) PM 61% 70 39% 45 220 Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) AM 23% 5 77% 18 (46 DU) PM 63% 19 37% 11 210 Single-Family Detached Housing AM 25% 4 75% 9 (11 DU) PM 63% 8 37% 4 411 Public Park AM 59% 0 41% 0 (1.5 Acres) PM 55% 13 45% 10 Total AM 182 163 PM 186 179 For the purposes of trip generation, it was assumed that the urban farm will function as a public park. It is likely that this is an overestimation of the number of trips that will be generated by such a land use. Several of the land uses within this development are considered complimentary land uses. As such, internal capture trips were also considered for this development as shown in the table below: Land Use AM AM PM PM Enter Exit Enter Exit Commercial/Retail 99 61 70 75 Internal Capture -3 -3 -13 -22 Adjusted Total 96 58 57 53 732!

Due to the development's proximity to Meridian Street(US 31) and Keystone Parkway, trips were assigned as 50% eastbound/50% westbound away from the development. • Access Point 1 — Full access via roundabout. • Access Point 2 —Westbound access only. • Access Point 3 —Westbound access is right-in-right-out (RIRO) only. Eastbound access is left-in only. • Access Point 4— Full access for the urban farm land use. Exhibits outlining the trip distribution and trip assignment for the commercial/retail/office land use, residential land use, and urban farm land use are attached to this letter. An exhibit showing the trip assignment of the total trips for this development has also been included. A full traffic impact study(TIS) would be required to determine how development traffic impacts the operations of nearby intersections. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
