Minutes Planning Commissioi August 14, 1985 Chris Kinzel, TJKM, concurred with comments of Mr. Swift. The 1984 traffic levels have already been incorporated into recent studies. Land use assumptions in the past have caused some discrepancies. Basically there is no difference of opinion here between staff that TJKM. Mr. Kinzel indicated that he agrees with the staff report except for Item No. 6. The computer has not been designed to show the volume to capacity ratios. Commissioner Michelotti stated that in 1982 when Hacienda was first being considered one of the items discussed would be traffic computer to insure LOS and traffic counts including the average daily trips would be available. She has served on the Industrial General Plan and Compliance and Monitoring Committees which looked very closely at traffic. They are very disappointed that the information is not available on the traffic computer. The project is now three years down the road and the computer's ability to calculate LOS is down the road at least two years from now. All efforts should be made to update the system in comparing the actual counts of the park with the estimated counts at the time of project approval. She indicated that only nine intersections are being monitored at this time. Commissioner Innes stated that Walnut Creek has the ability to do saturation surveys. Mr. Kinzel indicated that Walnut Creek has the same Multi Sonics system but the detectors are located differently. Commissioner Innes felt very strongly that three years ago assurance was given that traffic would be monitored on the computer and as of this date this is not being done. He stated he is very nervous about the 1500 vehicles/hour for lane capacity in the Hacienda Business Park EIR being suggested to increase to 1800. If lane capacity is to be increased by 38%, there should be agreement between staff and the traffic consultant. A motion was made by Commissioner Michelotti, seconded by Commissioner Innes that Traffic Assumptions be continued for further input of staff, Caltrans and others to an undetermined date.
