Middle Sound West/Lendire Mixed Use
Phased Study Waiver/Alternative Access Request
DAVENPORT Project Number 210236
Prepared for Tribute Properties.
November 15, 2022
This memorandum seeks to formalize a prior verbal understanding reflecting implementation of alternative accesss and
improvements to a prior approved Transportation Impact Analysis(TIA) for the Middle Sound West(now Lendire
Mixed Use) as a substitute to formal modeling and review of a phased implementation of the current Lendire Mixed
Use development.
In 2019, DAVENPORT prepared a TIA for the subject site which was named Middle Sound West. At the time, the owner
did not have right of access through the parcel fronting Market Street; therfore all access for the site was provided via
Lendire Road. The prior approval, Exhibit 1, is attached for reference. The approval for Middle Sound West required
installation of the below listed improvements:
Lendire Road at Site Drive 1, construct site drive with a right turn with 50’ storage, 50 feet full width deceleration
and 100’ of taper.
No additional improvements were required at any of the listed study intersections.
Subseqent to the TIA approval, the Zoning request for the site was denied. The project then entered the appeal process
to that denial. While the appeal process proceeded, the client secured access rights directly to Market Street and
proposed the current Lendire Mixed Use development. A TIA for the revised site was sucessfully scoped and began the
process of preparation and review. During the TIA preparation process, the appeal to the denial of Zoning was upheld and
the rear portion of the Lendire Mixed Use site was cleared to proceed through the TRC process. As the client had since
acquired rights of access directly to Market Street, a revised access concept plan, Exhibit 2, was provided to the WMPO
and NCDOT for this first phase with site access revised as follows:
Prior Site Drive 1(current Site Drive 3) to Lendire Road was relocated eastward to align directly across from the
western most driveway to the Ogden Business Park. Under the current design, this site drive is proposed as a full
movement intersection.
All Site Access to/through the Lendire Access Road(privately held) was removed.
Direct site access from Market Street is proposed utilizing Site Drive 1 as indicated on the current 2021 TIA under
review.(Right‐in/Right‐out just north of the former Dennys Site)
Based on initial review of the concept plan, NCDOT was verbally amenable to this revised arrangment pending the
submittal of more formal plans. It was verbally agreed that the new access plan provided better access to the site over
the orignal access plans as a result of the below enhancements.
•The direct access to Lendire Road is no longer offset from the main site access to Ogden Business Park and the
separation between the site access and Vespar Court is increased. This reduces/eliminates conflicts between left
turns from Lendire Road into the site and into Vespar Court.
•The updated/relocated Lendire Road site access is currently proposed to include a 50’ eastbound left turn lane
with appropriate decel and storage and a 50’ right turn taper. No left turn storage was required of the original
approval for Middle Sound West.

RE: Approval of the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) associated with the proposed
Middlesound West Development
The WMPO, NCDOT, and New Hanover County staffs have reviewed the Middlesound West Development TIA
sealed May 29, 2019 with additional analysis received on June 24, 2019. This approval is based on the following land uses as proposed in the TIA:
•24 dwelling units: Low Rise Multifamily (LUC 220)
•264 dwelling units: Mid Rise Multifamily Housing Mid-Rise (LUC 221)
•32 Employees: Small Office Building (LUC 712)
•Build Year: 2021
Based on review of the analysis provided in the TIA report, the following improvements are required by the
developer:
US 17 (Market Street) at SR 1403 (Middle Sound Loop Road) / SR 2892 (Lendire Road) (Full movement signalized intersection)
•No improvements are recommended.
US 17 (Market Street) at Lendire access road (not state maintained) (Right-in/Right-out only)
•No improvements are recommended.
SR 2892 (Lendire Road) at Lendire access road (not state maintained) (stop controlled T-intersection)
•No Improvements are recommended.
SR 2892 (Lendire Road) at Site Access 1
•Construct a westbound right turn lane with 50 feet of storage, 50 feet of full width deceleration, and
100 feet of taper.
Page 2 of 2
•Construct the southbound approach with one ingress and one egress lane.
•Provide stop control for the southbound approach.
•Provide a minimum 100-foot internal protected stem.
SR 2892 (Lendire Road) at Site Access 2
•Construct the southbound approach with one ingress and one egress lane.
•Provide stop control for the southbound approach.
•Provide a minimum 100-foot internal protected stem.
If changes are made to the proposed site driveways and/or land 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. This approval will become null and void.
The applicant is required to obtain all applicable New Hanover County and NCDOT permits for access to the road network. All applicable NCDOT and New Hanover County technical standards and policies shall apply.
Please contact me at 910-473-5130 with any questions regarding this approval.

OFF-SITE TURN LANE / TRAFFIC
IMPROVEMENT
9/15/2022 Lendire Mixed Use – Transportation Impact Analysis ii
intersection at US 17 at Site Access 2 during scenario 2 are high enough to meet MUTCD
Warrants 1, 2, and 3 under future conditions.
At Lendire Road at Site Access 3, it is recommended to provide an eastbound left turn
lane with 50 feet of storage length and appropriate taper for both scenario 1 & 2. Also, it
is recommended to provide a westbound right turn taper with 50 feet of taper for both
scenario 1 & 2.
At both intersections of US 17 at Middle Sound Loop Road / Lendire Road and US 17
(Market Street) at Wendover Lane no improvements are recommended. Based on
SimTraffic and Synchro queueing outputs, there is sufficient distance on Market Street
between Site Access 2 and (if signalized) and the future RCI at Wendover to
accommodate the Market Street left turn queues for both intersections and the transition
taper between them.
The recommended improvements are illustrated in Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
Conclusion
This TIA was performed in order to assess transportation impacts of the proposed site as
well as background traffic. The analysis documented here indicates there will be adequate
capacity to accommodate future traffic. Table A present the improvements summary. It is
recommended that the site accesses be constructed to comply with NCDOT standards
where applicable.
