If changes are made to the proposed site driveways and/or use, the current trip distribution may need to be modified and would require a revised Traffic Impact Analysis to be submitted for review by the NCDOT, WMPO, and New Hanover County, in which instance this approval would become null and void. The applicant is required to obtain all applicable New Hanover County and NCDOT permits for access to the road network. A copy of this TIA approval shall be included with any NCDOT driveway permit application. All applicable NCDOT and New Hanover County technical standards and policies shall apply. Please contact me at (910) 473 – 5130 if you have any questions regarding this approval. Sincerely, Scott A.
