Technical Memorandum
To: Tom Flanagan, Blue Ridge Companies
Stoney Mathis, NCDOT Division 3 Traffic Engineer
From: Donald R. Bennett, II, PE, DAVENPORT
Jesse Dollarhite, DAVENPORT
Date: January 2, 2025
Subject: BRC Castle Hayne
Wrightsboro, NC
DAVENPORT Project Number 180243
1.0 Introduction
DAVENPORT has prepared this technical memorandum to meet the requirements of the TIA
approval letter dated January 24, 2019. This memorandum outlines peak specific timings based
on applicable data. Timings will be implemented and adjusted as needed based on a time-of-day
plan as determined by the NCDOT.
2.0 Timing Development
The timings were developed based on current isolated plan phasing settings from the latest plan
available from NCDOT, sealed by Lori Boyer of DAVENPORT 11/07/2022. Traffic data for the
analysis was developed based on full build volumes from the TIA and 2021 traffic counts at the
intersection. The heaviest movement from each data source was combined to create the highest
demand. Traffic analysis and optimization was completed using Synchro 11 and SimTraffic. The
resulting max times were provided for each peak period. Congestion Management Standards
were used in setting the minimum cycle to 120 seconds for a typical multiphase intersection.
Permitted operation was modeled, as well as right turn on red as this was an operational analysis
rather than the typical planning level study typical of TIA’s. The outputs of the analysis are

4.0 Max Time Settings Recommended
Per general practice, main street max times with volume-density operation are set at a minimum
of 90 seconds and minor street movements are not typically set below 15 seconds. However in
conversations with the Division Traffic Engineer, timings below 90 could be considered. As 60
seconds is considered the general settings for Extend (Stretch) Detection operation, 60 seconds
was considered the lowest desirable Max time for Phases 2&6. The timings in Table 2 below are
the recommended controller settings. As Oasis typically uses Max 3 as an incremental max timing
feature, it is recommended that these peak specific timings be programmed into Timings Page 2,
Max 1 and Max 2 that can be implemented with a time-of-day schedule as needed. The schedule
will be determined by the NCDOT.

5.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, this memorandum outlines the maximum times tailored to the composite expected
peak hour volumes when the BRC Castle Hayne Residential project is built and generating trips.
It should be noted, project expected volumes were based on trips provided by the Institute for
Transportation Engineering’s 10th Edition Trip Generation methodology. Since the TIA was
prepared, the Trip Generation methodology has been revised. This, in conjunction with multiple
other developments and exceptionally high regional growth indicates that timings at this location
should be maintained following NCDOT Signal Timing Philosophy (February 2017) recommended
for high growth areas, typically every 18 months.

Don,
Thank you for this.
Great work. This looks good to me with one caveat.
It seems appropriate that the signal plan sealed by Lori Boyer on 11/07/2022 referenced in
Section 2.0 Timing Development on the first page of the attachment would be the appropriate
supporting signal plan to be included in the supporting documentation rather than the signal
plan sealed by Lori on 4/29/2021 which is currently included. Please advise.
Thank you again,

Stoney,
Please see the attached memorandum for time-of-day timings on the intersection of Castle Hayne
Road at Kerr Ave. The approval letter for this 2018 project required a timing plan for this location.
The recommended timings are tabulated on Page 2 of the attached memorandum. Please let me
know if you have any questions or comments. While full build volumes were noted in the
correspondence, it was noted that 2021 counts at the intersection had higher values for some
movements than those in the report. As such, the counts and full build values were compared and
the higher of the two for each movement used as the basis for optimization.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year.

RE: Revised Approval of the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) associated with the proposed
BRC Castle Hayne Development
New Hanover County, NC
The WMPO, NCDOT, and New Hanover County staffs have reviewed the BRC Castle Hayne
Development TIA dated November 28, 2018. This development consist of:
Phase 1
216 Multi-family Housing Units
Build Year 2021
Full Build
360 Multi-family Housing Units (includes Phase 1)
Build Year 2023
Based on review of the analysis provided in the TIA report, the following improvements are required by
the developer:
Phase 1
NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) at North Kerr Avenue
Provide a new signal plan (AM and PM peak timings) to NCDOT for review and approval by the
Division Traffic Engineer. This is required so that the installation of the signal plan by Division
Traffic can occur prior to Phase 1 Certificates of Occupancy. If the proposed timing plan hinders
NC 133, it will be discontinued.
2
NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) at Existing Site Access
No improvements recommended.
Full Build
NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) at North Kerr Avenue
No improvements recommended.
NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) at Existing Site Access
No improvements recommended.
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. 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 910-772-4170 with any questions regarding this approval.
