RE: Approval with conditions of the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) associated with the proposed
Moore’s Crossing mixed use development in New Hanover County, NC.
Dear Mr. Guy:
The WMPO, NCDOT and New Hanover County staffs have reviewed the Moore’s Crossing TIA (sealed March
25, 2024) and based on the information provided and conversations held to date, it is our understanding that
the proposed development will be built in 2026 and consist of the following land uses:
Full Build 2026:
o ITE Land Use Code 220 – Multi-family (low-rise) housing 115 DU
o ITE Land Use Code 821 – Shopping Plaza w/Supermarket 85,000 SF
o ITE Land Use Code 932 – High-turnover (sit-down) Restaurant 6,000 SF
o ITE Land Use Code 945 – Convenience Store with gasoline pumps 3,500 SF and 16 VFP
Based upon the review of the analysis provided, the following improvements are required of this development:
NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) and SR 1332 (Chair Road) (Stop-controlled intersection)
• Install a traffic signal and provide necessary communication equipment for coordination.
• Extend the existing eastbound left turn lane on SR 1332 (Chair Road) to provide 250 feet of storage,
appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct a second eastbound left turn lane on SR 1332 (Chair Road) with 250 feet of storage,
appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct a southbound right turn lane on NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) with 100 feet of storage,
appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Restripe the exiting southbound two-way center left turn lane (TWLTL) on NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road)
to provide southbound U-turn Lane with 150 feet of storage.

• Provide widening on east side of NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) to accommodate southbound U-turns (use SU-30 as design vehicle for U-turn maneuver). NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) and I-140 Eastbound Ramps/Site Access 3 (Signalized intersection) Note: the following elements require modification to the Control of Access conditions.
• Construct a westbound left-thru lane on I-140 Eastbound Ramp with 200 feet of storage, appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct a westbound right turn lane on I-140 Eastbound Ramp with 150 feet of storage, appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct site access (eastbound approach) with one ingress lane and one egress lane. The egress
should be configured with an internal protected stem of 100 feet, measured from the right-of-way line.
Construct the exiting maneuver as a channelized right-out only with stop controls.
• Restripe the gore area on the northbound approach to provide a dedicated northbound left turn lane
on NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) with 200 feet of storage.
• Construct a southbound right turn lane on NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) with 100 feet of storage,
appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Modify signal plan to provide overlap phasing for westbound right turn and serve the above listed
improvements.
NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) and I-140 Westbound Ramps (Signalized intersection)
• Extend the existing westbound left turn lane on I-140 Westbound Ramp to provide 350 feet of storage, appropriate full width deceleration and taper. SR 1332 (Chair Road) and Site Access 1 (Proposed stop-controlled intersection)
• Construct an eastbound left turn lane on SR 1332 (Chair Road) with 100 feet of storage, appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct a westbound right turn lane on SR 1332 (Chair Road) with 100 feet of storage, appropriate full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct site access (southbound approach) with an internal protected stem of 100 feet, measured from the right-of-way line and configured with one ingress lane and one egress lane.
• Provide stop controls on the southbound approach. SR 1332 (Chair Road) and Site Access 2 (Proposed stop-controlled intersection)
• Construct a westbound right turn lane on SR 1332 (Chair Road) with 100 feet of storage, appropriate
full width deceleration and taper.
• Construct site access (southbound approach) with an internal protected stem of 150 feet, measured
from the right-of-way line and configured with one ingress lane and one egress lane.
• Provide stop controls for the southbound approach.
