The subject property is approximately 47 acres in size and is located and is located due west of the intersection of Interstate 44o and Capital Blvd (US 4oi) (Latitude:35.8i65oo8 °N, Longitude:78.610oo24°W) in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. The site is bounded on the south by Crabtree Creek and is located in the Neuse River Basin. The water quality classification for the stream features on site is C-NSW. The Hydrologic Unit Code is o3o2o2oi and the Stream Index Number is 27- 33-(l0). Project History Wetlands were delineated by Withers & Ravenel during April, 2006. A site meeting was conducted with the NC-DWQ on February i5, 2007 (DWQ EXP# 07-0566) to verify stream origin points. A copy of the NC-DWQ letter is attached. In addition, pre - application meetings were held with DWQ on 1/29/07 and 2/15/07 to discuss avoidance and minimization issues (see below). Proposed Impacts The proposed permanent impacts consist of 8,562 SF (Z1: 3,711 and Z2: 4,851) of riparian buffer for the construction of a bridge needed to access the proposed development. No wetlands or streams will be impacted as a result of this project. The impacts are summarized on the overall map as well as the PCN form. Avoidance and Minimization Prior to site plan development, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and `waters' could be minimized. The City of Raleigh is requiring a collector street connection between isi MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC 27511 i tel: 919.469.3340 i fax: 919.467.6008 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 101 i Wilmington, NC 28403 i tel: 910.256.9277 i fax: 910.256.2584 1027 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, NC 28462 i tel: 910.842.9392 i fax: 910.842.8019 Meadow Wood Boulevard and Ratchford Drive. The original site plans called for two creek crossings at the confluence of Crabtree Creek and an un-named tributary. We examined crossing further to the east, to minimize impacts, however, horizontal and vertical design standards limited the crossing location to the existing stub road and right-of-way. We also looked at crossing further to the west, but this alignment would impact existing buildings, not owned by the applicant. As a compromise and in order to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes to shift approximately 40o feet of the existing right-of-way to the west, and will span the entire creek crossing using abridge, avoiding impacts to stream channels altogether. Although, there are parallel impacts to the riparian buffer, as stated above, these impacts could not be avoided, due to the fact that there is an existing building just west of the alignment. Although two other points of ingress and egress are located in the northern portion of the property via Meadow Wood Boulevard and Mellowfield Drive, at build-out, the proposed development will consist of 1,20o residential condominium/townhome units. Based on the traffic study conducted by Ramey Kemp, if the connection at the southern end of the property is not constructed, it will lead to operational concerns at some intersections, as well as cause significant increases in delays and queues at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Meadow Wood Boulevard. These delays could also affect the emergency response time if an accident were to occur within or adjacent to the proposed development. A copy of the Traffic analysis is included with the attachments, for your review. Stormwater Management Plan The proposed impervious for this project is expected to be greater than 24%, therefore, constructed wetlands will be utilized to treat stormwater before it exits the site. The stormwater management plans have been submitted to the City of Raleigh for preliminary approval. We will forward the approval letter, along with a set of the construction drawings and calculations, under separate cover. During construction the applicant will utilize sediment basins to prevent sediment from entering jurisdictional stream channels or wetlands. Mitigation Because there are parallel impacts to the riparian buffer, the applicant proposes payment to the NCEEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of their acceptance letter is included with the attachments. Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, WITHERS ~ RAVENEL, INC.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Prior to site plan development, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and `waters' could be minimized. 'The City of Ralei is requiring a collector street connection between Meadow Wood Boulevard and Ratchford Drive. The original site plans called for two creek crossings at the confluence of Crabtree Creek and an un-named tributary We examined crossing further to the east, to minimize impacts, however, horizontal and vertical design standards limited the crossing location to the existing stub road and ri t-of-wad also looked at crossing further to the west, but this alignment would impact existing buildings, not owned by the applicant. As a compromise and in order to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes to shift approximately 400 feet of the existing ri t-of-way to the west, and will span the entire creek crossing using a bridge, avoiding impacts to stream channels alto e Although, there are parallel impacts to the riparian buffer, as stated above, these impacts could not be avoided, due to the fact that there is an existing building just west of the alignment. Although two other points of ingress and egress are located in the northern portion of the property via Meadwood Boulevard and Mellowfield Drive, at build-out, the proposed development will consist of 1,200 residential condominium/townhome units. Based on the traffic study, conducted b~Ramey Kemp, if the connection at the southern end of the property is not constructed, it will lead to operational concerns at some intersections. as well as cause significant increases in delays and queues at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Meadowood Boulevard. These delays could also affect the emergency response time if an accident were to occur within or adjacent to the proposed development. A copy of the Traffic analysis is included with the attachments, for your review. Page 5 of 9 VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: r.,ducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. The applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. The applicant proposes payment to EEP to satis mitigation requirements. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss Stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The proposed impervious for this project is expected to be greater than 24%, therefore, constructed wetlands will be utilized to treat stormwater before it exits the site. The Stormwater mans e~plans have been submitted to the City of Ralei for preliminary approval. We will forward the approval letter, alon with a set of the construction drawings and calculations, when we receive it. During construction the applicant will utilize sediment basins to prevent sediment from entering_jurisdictional stream channels or wetlands. XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. Sanitary Sewer XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ^ No Is this anafter-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: A majority of the adjacent parcels have already been developed. If any additional development occurs on the a~acent parcels, the owners will be required to comply with the NPDES Phase II rules, the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules, therefore, we do not believe that this project will have a negative impact on downstream water quality Page 8 of 9 XV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

(RKA) for the proposed Meadow Wood Boulevard development in Raleigh, North Carolina. This letter serves as an addendum to the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) report prepared by RKA and submitted in April 2006 for this development. The April 2006 TIA report considered access to the development would be provided via Meadow Wood Boulevard, Mellow Field Drive, and a connection to an existing roadway that intersects with US 1 at Yonkers Road. The purpose of this study is to determine impacts to the surrounding transportation system created by traffic generated by the proposed development with only access to Atlantic Avenue and no direct connection to US 1. Based on the site plan and discussions with the site engineer, the site will consist of 1,200 residential condominium / townhome units. For this study, access to the site is proposed via Meadow Wood Boulevard and one (1) driveway connection to Mellow Field Drive east of Atlantic Avenue. The connection to US 1 (Capital Boulevard) at Yonkers Road that was considered in the April 2006 study was not considered in this traffic assessment. This study assumes a build out year of 2012. Refer to Appendix A for an illustration of a site location map and site layout. The study area for this project includes the following intersections: • Atlantic Avenue at Highwoods Boulevard / Wolfpack Lane • Atlantic Avenue at Meadow Wood Boulevard • Atlantic Avenue at Six Forks Road • Atlantic Avenue at Hodges Road • US 1 (Capital Boulevard) at Highwoods Boulevard • US 1 (Capital Boulevard) at Yonkers Road • US 1 (Capital Boulevard) at Hodges Road Mr. Ed Hallberg February 21, 2007 Page 2 The study intersections were analyzed ~d~arib~ .tlye. w~ktlay,~ ~ 1P°letl peak lows for the following scenarios: 1.

Pimrtouf~ c~tlhne ar+e i~-chxled in Appendix C. Background (2012) Traffic Conditions Background (2012) traffic volumes were taken from the previously completed April 2006 TIA report. Background traffic includes existing traffic plus traffic due to growth of the community and surrounding area that is anticipated to ocean- regardless of whether the proposed development is constructed. The background traffic ~ohmles from the TIA report included trips from the Costco store that is to be located on the east side of Wake Forest Raad, south of its intersection with Six Forks Road as well as the Mellow Field apartment development located east of Six Forks Road between Atlantic Avenue and Mellow Field Drive. Refer to Appendix A for the Background (2012) -t~ Adjacent Development Traffic volumes from the Apri12006 TIA report. Trip Generation Average weekday daily, AM and PM peak hour trips for the residential development were taken from Table 1 in the April 2006 TIA report. In that study, site trips were calculated utilizing methodology contained within the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation manual, 7a' Edition. A copy of the trip generation table is shown below. Mr. Ed Hallberg February 21, 2007 Page 3 TABLE 1 Trip Generation Average...:. AM PM ITE Land Use Density Daily Peak Hour Peak Hour (Code) Traffic h v h (vpd) ~ Enter Exit Enter Exit Residential Condo/Townhouse 1,200 Units 5,306 64 313 309 152 (230) It is estimated that the site will generate a total of 5,306 trips (entering and exiting) during a typical weekday. Of the total, approximately 377 trips (64 entering and 313 exiting) will occur during the AM peak hour, while approximately 461 trips (309 entering and 152 exiting) will occur during the PM peak hour. Trip Distribution and Assignment Trip distribution percentages were estimated based on location of employment and population centers, existing traffic patterns and engineering judgment. In general, approximately 35% of the residential trips will travel to/from the I-440 interchange at US 1 with 30% using Highwoods Boulevard and 5% using Hodges Road to access US 1. Approximately 30% of site trips will travel to/from the north of the study area with 25% using Atlantic Avenue and 5% using US 1. Approximately 25% of site trips will travel to/from the south of the study area via Atlantic Avenue while 10% will travel to/from the west via Six Forks Road. Refer to Appendix A for figures illustrating the site trip distribution percentages and peak hour site trip assignment. The site trip distribution and site trip assignment figures represent new traffic patterns without the connection to US 1 that was considered in the previous TIA. Combined (2012) Traffic Conditions The additional traffic generated by the residential development was added to the background (2012) traffic to determine combined (2012) traffic conditions with the site fully built-out. Refer to Appendix A for a figure illustrating the combined (2012) weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes. The study intersections were analyzed to determine the levels of service based on combined (2012) traffic conditions. Improvements that were identified and recommended as part of the proposed development were included in the analysis of combined (2012) improved conditions. Analysis results for the intersections can be found in the Capacity Analysis section of this report. Printouts of the analyses are included in Appendix C. Mr. Ed Hallberg February 21, 2007 Page 4 Capacity Analysis As in the previous TIA report, all intersection capacity analyses were completed using Synchro 5.0. For comparison purposes, analysis procedures are the same as in the previous TIA report including lane configurations, traffic control, and signal operations. The results of the capacity analyses for each intersection are presented below. Intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Higllwoods Boulevard / Wolfpack Lane Capacity analysis indicates that the existing signalized intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Highwoods Boulevard / Wolfpack Lane operates at an overall LOS D during the AM peak hour and LOS E during the PM peak hour under existing (2006) traffic conditions. With the addition of site traffic, capacity analysis indicates the intersection will operate at an overall LOS E during the AM peak hour and an overall LOS F during the PM peak hour under combined (2012) conditions. Refer to Table 2 for a summary of the capacity analysis results.

Mr. Ed Hallberg February 21, 2007 Page 5 Under combined (2012) improved conditions, the westbound approach of Highwoods Boulevard was restriped to provide an exclusive left turn lane, a shared left and through lane, and an exclusive right turn lane. This lane configuration requires split side street phasing which is usually not the most efficient signal phasing. Analysis indicates that the intersection operates at an overall LOS D during the AM peak hour and an overall LOS E during the PM peak hour under combined (2012) improved conditions. This intersection currently experiences poor LOS during the PM peak hour due to heavy through volumes on Atlantic Avenue in combination with heavy turning volumes onto and from Highwoods Boulevard. The current access alternative causes a significant increase in the westbound left turn volume from Highwoods Boulevard and the northbound right turn volume from Atlantic Avenue. The westbound left turn movement currently experiences long delays and queues and would be significantly worse with the addition of site trips under the proposed access scenario. If a connection to US 1 were provided at Yonkers Road, the previous TIA report indicates that site trips would utilize this intersection and avoid the Highwoods/Atlantic Avenue intersection. Intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Meadow Wood Boulevard Capacity analysis indicates that the minor street approach of Meadow Wood Boulevard at Atlantic Avenue currently operates at LOS F during the AM and PM peak hours, while the southbound left turn movement from Atlantic Avenue currently operates at LOS B during the AM peak hour under existing (2006) conditions. Refer to Table 3 for a summary of the capacity analysis results. Under combined (2012} traffic conditions with the current access alternative, capacity analysis indicates the minor street approach of Meadow Wood Boulevard at Atlantic Avenue will operate at LOS F during both peak hours while the southbound left turn movement from Atlantic Avenue will operate at LOS C during the AM peak hour and LOS E during the PM peak hour. The poor LOS is due to the heavy through traffic on Atlantic Avenue in combination with a relatively high number of site trips turning to/from Meadow Wood Boulevard under this access scenario. The southbound left turn movement from Atlantic Avenue is significantly higher in the current access scenario than in the previous TIA report, which causes long delays and queues that could exceed the available storage in the southbound left turn lane. As shown in the previous TIA report, a connection to US 1 at Yonkers significantly improves operations at the intersection since a high percentage of site trips will utilize this connection to access US 1 and the I-440 interchange.

With the addition of site traffic, capacity analysis indicates the intersection will operate at an overall LOS D during the AM and PM peak hours under combined (2012) conditions. Refer to Table 4 for a summary of the capacity analysis results. In the future, dual northbound left turns lanes could be provided on Atlantic Avenue to serve the heavy northbound left turn movement and provide additional capacity at the intersection. Providing protected plus permitted phasing for the southbound left turn movement is recommended as part of the development. Adequate capacity will be provided at this intersection to accommodate site traffic with minor modifications to the traffic signal.

Under combined (2012) traffic conditions, capacity analysis indicates the intersection is expected to operate at an overall LOS C during the AM peak hour and LOS D during the PM peak hour. Under combined (2012) improved conditions, the intersection was analyzed with an exclusive right turn lane on the westbound approach of Hodges Road. Refer to Table 5 for a summary of the capacity analysis results. With the current access scenario an increased number of site trips are expected to utilize Hodges Road to access US 1. As indicated in the previous TIA report, a connection to US 1 at Yonkers Road would be utilized by site trips to access US 1 instead of Hodges Road.

Refer to Table 6 for a summary of the capacity analysis results. 'The current access alternative causes a significant increase in the eastbound right turn volume from Highwoods Boulevard and the northbound left turn volume from US 1. Both of these movements already have high traffic volumes and currently experience long delays and queues and would worsen with the addition of site trips under the proposed access scenario. Mr. Ed Hallberg February 21, 2007 Page 9 As indicated in the previous TIA report, if a connection to US 1 were provided at Yonkers Road, site trips would utilize this intersection and avoid the heavy movements at the Highwoods/US 1 intersection.

In this study, access is considered via Meadow Wood Boulevard and a driveway connection to Mellow Field Drive. In summary, the findings of this study suggest that the access alternative considered creates operational concerns at some intersections and causes significant increases in delays and queues at some intersections. The access alternative considered (with no connection to US 1 at Yonkers Road) causes a significant increase in the number of site trips traveling to/from the north via Atlantic Avenue and Highwoods Boulevard to access US 1 and the I-440 interchange. Site trips cause significant increases in some turning movements at the intersections with Highwoods Boulevard at Atlantic Avenue and US 1 that currently experience long delays and queues. If a driveway connection were provided to US 1 at Yonkers Road, site trips could utilize an existing signalized intersection to access US 1 and the I-440 interchange. The eastbound approach at the intersection of US 1 and Yonkers Road, which would be impacted by site trips if the connection were made, currently carries very low traffic volumes. In addition traffic volumes on US 1 south of the I-440 interchange are significantly lower (approximately 50%) than on US 1 north of Hodges Road. Mr. Ed Hallberg February 21, 2007 Page 12 Traffic patterns with the current access alternative also cause a high southbound left turn volume on Atlantic Avenue at Meadow Wood Boulevard. Analysis indicates the southbound left turn movement from Atlantic Avenue at this intersection will operate at LOS E in the PM peak hour under combined conditions. Adequate storage may not be available in the left turn lane on Atlantic Avenue to accommodate the high left turn volume, which could cause left turn queues to extend into the southbound through lane in the PM peak hour. The remaining study intersections would not be as significantly impacted by site trips at full build out with the current access alternative. The remaining intersections would be expected to operate at acceptable levels of service under combined conditions with the current access scenario. The following improvements are recommended to accommodate full build-out site traffic. It should be noted that these improvements are the same as in the TIA report and include a recommendation to provide access to US 1 at Yonkers Road. If the connection to Yonkers Road were not provided, the same improvements would be recommended at study intersections other than US 1 and Yonkers Road. Refer to Appendix A for an illustration of the recommended improvements. Capital Boulevard and Yonkers Road • Provide a connection to the existing roadway west of US 1 such that access is provided from the proposed development to the intersection at US 1. • Construct an exclusive right turn lane on the southbound approach of Capital Boulevard with full-width storage of 100 feet and a 150 foot taper. • Restripe the eastbound minor street approach of Yonkers Road to provide an exclusive left turn lane and a through and right shared lane. • Modify the traffic signal design to provide protected plus permitted phasing for the eastbound and westbound left turn movements on Yonkers Road. Atlantic Avenue and Highwoods Boulevard / Wolfpack Lane • Restripe the westbound minor street approach of Highwoods Boulevard to provide an exclusive left turn lane, a shared left and through lane, and an exclusive right turn lane. Atlantic Avenue and Six Forks Road/Mellow Field Drive • Provide protected plus permitted phasing for the southbound left turn movement on Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic Avenue and Hodges Road • Construct an exclusive right turn lane on the westbound approach of Hodges Road with full width storage of 100 feet and a 100 foot taper.
