Re: Traffic Evaluation for Faden-West Ave Special Use Permit, City of Saratoga Springs, NY
Dear Mr. Farrell,
VHB has conducted a traffic evaluation to assess the potential traffic impacts associated with the
proposed mixed-use development on Station Lane in the City of Saratoga Springs. The Conceptual Layout
Plan prepared by Lansing Engineering is attached to this letter and includes the development of 3,425
square feet (SF) of retail space, a 2,000 SF restaurant, and 56 residential units in two buildings with a single
access driveway on Station Lane.
This letter includes an evaluation of the peak hour site trip generation and the potential increase in traffic
volumes on West Avenue as a result of the proposed project.As detailed herein, the proposed project is
expected to have minimal impact on local traffic operations.
A transportation impact study(TIS) was completed by SRF Associates in October 2017 for the proposed
Station Park at Saratoga multi-use development.The data and analysis contained in the TIS were reviewed
and used for this traffic evaluation. It is noted that the subject project was included in the background
growth in the Station Park at Saratoga development with a larger development plan with 71
condominium units and 6,428 SF of retail space. It is our understanding that the Station Park at Saratoga
development is not currently progressing.
Site Location and Proposed Development
The approximate 2-acre project site, as shown in the aerial image on the following page, is located on the
north side of Station Lane in the City of Saratoga Springs.The site is currently vacant.The proposed
project includes the construction of 2 four story buildings with first floor retail/restaurant space and
residential units on the upper floors totaling 5,425 SF of commercial space and 56 residential units.Access
to the site is proposed via a single access on Station Lane. On-street parking is also proposed on the
north side of Station Lane, west of the site access.The project is expected to be open and occupied in
2021.

Existing Conditions
West Avenue is a local City street classified as an urban minor arterial.The roadway generally provides
north-south travel between NY Route 50, Ballston Avenue to the south and NY Route 9N, Church Street to
the north. At the Station Lane intersection, West Avenue has one northbound travel lane, one southbound
travel lane and a center two way left turn median.There are existing sidewalks on both sides of West
Avenue separated from the travel lanes by a narrow grass area.The posted speed limit is 30-mph. Based
on traffic volume data collected by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) in 2016
the average annual daily traffic (AADT) on West Avenue is 15,575 vehicles near the Station Lane
intersection.Table 1 summarizes the traffic volume trends on West Avenue.
Station Lane is a local City street providing east-west access between West Avenue and the train station.
Station Lane is a two-lane roadway with no shoulders and sidewalks along the south side of the roadway.
The posted speed limit is 30-mph. Data provided in the Station Park at Saratoga TIS indicates that the
daily traffic volume on Station Lane is approximately 390 vehicles.

As shown in Table 1, the AM peak hour serves approximately 7% of the daily traffic volume on West
Avenue with a slightly higher distribution of trips northbound.The PM peak hour serves approximately
8.3% of the daily traffic volumes on West Avenue with a slightly higher distribution of trips northbound.
Transit service in the study area is provided by the Capital District Transportation Authority(CDTA). CDTA
Route 451 — Ballston Spa/West Saratoga provides primary service Monday through Friday from about 6:00
AM to 8:00 PM at approximate 2-hour headways. Service on Saturdays and Sundays is provided from 9:00
AM to 5:00 PM at approximate 2-hour headways.There is a bus stop at the train station,just west of the
project site on Station Lane.
Future Conditions
To estimate the site-generated traffic, the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) publication Trip
Generation, 1Oth Edition' was utilized. The number of vehicle trips generated by the proposed project was
estimated based the ITE land use code (LUC) 221- Multi Family Housing Mid-Rise, LUC 820— Shopping
Center, and LUC 930— Fast Casual Restaurant. It can be expected that some of the trips for the retail and
restaurant land use will originate from traffic that is already traveling on the adjacent roadway network.
These trips, known as pass-by or diverted link trips, contribute to the site access volumes, but do not add
traffic volumes on the adjacent roadway network or intersections.The pass-by trip percentages applied to
the applicable retail and restaurant land uses are based on data published by ITE in the Trip Generation
Handbook, 3rd Edition 2. Based on ITE, a pass-by credit of 35%was applied to the retail land use and 45%
to the restaurant land use.Additionally, it is anticipated that residents of the site may visit the retail
and/or restaurant land use. These internal trips will further reduce trips to and from the site via the
adjacent roadway network. Due to the relatively small size of the site, an internal trip credit was not
quantified in the evaluation.

d Pass-by percentage based on ITE data using 35%for the retail use and 45%for the restaurant use
e Total trips less the pass-by trips
Based on the projections outlined above, the proposed project is expected to generate 26 new vehicle
trips (10 entering and 16 exiting) during the AM peak hour and 50 new vehicle trips (28 entering and 22
exiting) during PM peak hour. The magnitude of site generated trips is less than the NYSDOT and ITE trip
thresholds of the generation of 100 vehicle trips on a single intersection approach for determining the
need for off-site intersection analysis.These agency thresholds were developed as a tool to identify
locations where the magnitude of traffic generated has the potential to impact operations at off-site
intersections and screen out locations that do not meet the threshold and are therefore unlikely to require
mitigation. Based on the trip generation and review of the industry guidelines, the site will be adequately
serviced by the existing surrounding roadway network.
Based on a review of the traffic volume information contained in the Station Park at Saratoga TIS, it is
expected that 45% of the site generated traffic will travel to and from the north via Church Street and 55%
will travel to and from the south via Washington Street when traveling to and from the site.This results in
the generation of 12 trips north of the site and 14 trips south of the site during the AM peak hour and 23
trips north of the site and 27 trips south of the site during the PM peak hour.This magnitude of site traffic
account for approximately 0.75%to 1.3% of the peak hour traffic at the Church Street and Washington
Street intersections with West Avenue.The low volume of site generated traffic at the adjacent
intersection on West Avenue further illustrates the minimal impact that the site traffic will have on the
surrounding roadway network.
Further review of the Station Park at Saratoga TIS showed that the Station Lane approach to West Avenue
will operate at acceptable levels of service (LOS D or better) during both peak hours under existing and
future No-Build conditions with traffic associated with nine other site specific projects (including
development at the subject site) and the application of a 0.30%growth rate for five-years.This

information confirms that the Station Lane approach at its intersection with West Avenue will continue to
operate with acceptable levels of service after development of the proposed mixed-use project.
As noted, access to the site is proposed via one full access driveway intersecting Station Lane.A review of
Station Lane illustrated that this roadway is generally straight and flat allowing for good sight lines.To
maximize sight lines for vehicles entering and exiting the project site, vegetation should be cleared along
the project frontage a minimum of 14.5 feet back from the travel lane.
Conclusions
VHB has conducted a traffic evaluation for the proposed mixed-use development located on the
northwest quadrant of the Station Lane/West Avenue intersection in the City of Saratoga Springs.The
proposed project includes the construction of 3,425 SF of retail space, a 2,000 SF restaurant, and 56
residential units in two buildings. Access to the site is proposed via one full access driveways on the north
side of Station Lane and via on-street parking along the north side of Station Lane west of the site access.
The following is noted regarding the traffic evaluation:
• The project is expected to generate 26 new vehicle trips during the AM peak hour and 50 new
vehicle trips during the PM peak hour resulting in a maximum increase of 23 trips north of the site
and 27 trips south of the site along West Avenue during the peak hours. The magnitude of the
site generated traffic is less than the industry trip generation thresholds for requiring a detailed
analysis indicating that the site traffic will be accommodated for by the existing roadway network.
No off-site mitigation is recommended as a result of the project.
• The project will increase traffic volumes at the Church Street and Washington Street intersections
with West Avenue by 0.75%to 1.3% during the peak hours.This magnitude of traffic increase
does not warrant further evaluation and will not impact the operations at these two intersections.
• A review of the detailed traffic evaluation completed for the Station Park at Saratoga project
shows that shows that the Station Lane approach to West Avenue will operate at LOS D or better
during both peak hours with the inclusion of nine other specific projects, including development
at the site, and the application of a 0.30% growth rate for five years.This analysis confirms that
the intersection will operate with acceptable levels of service with the construction of the
proposed project.
• Vegetation along the project frontage on Station Lane should be cleared a minimum of 14.5 feet
back from the travel lane to maximize sight lines for drivers entering and exiting the site.

RE:Water/Sewer Letter Report—Faden—West Ave Site Plan
Dear Mr.Torpey:
The Faden—West Ave Site Plan proposes two new 4-story mixed use buildings containing retail space and
multifamily units with associated parking located on the corner of West Avenue and Station Lane in the City
of Saratoga Springs, New York.The project parcel encompasses+/-1.99 acres and the tax map identification
number for the parcel is 165.-2-76.2. This letter/report will describe the water use and wastewater
generation for the proposed development. Public water service and sanitary service are proposed to be
utilized for the development and will be provided by the City of Saratoga Springs Department of Public
Works.
WASTEWATER DEMANDS
The wastewater generated by the proposed development has been calculated based on the separate uses
for the buildings.Wastewater generated by the proposed retail development has been calculated based on
0.1 gpd per square foot (from the "New York State Design Standard for Intermediate Sized Wastewater
Treatment Systems").Wastewater generated by the residential development has been calculated based on
the 10 State Standards of 100 gallons per capita per day(gpcpd)with an estimated population density of 2.0
residents per dwelling unit. The Average Daily Wastewater Flows and Peak Hour Wastewater Flows
generated from the proposed development are 9,394 gpd and 27.26 gpm,respectively.A detailed outline of
the wastewater flow calculations are as follows:
West Ave—Site Plan, & Special Use Permit— Development consists of approximately 5,425 square foot
retail and 56 multifamily units.
Retail Space:
Proposed 5,425 sf Retail Space=(5,425 sf)x (0.1 gpd/sf) =542.5 gpd
Design Average Daily Wastewater Flow=Total Wastewater Flow with 20% reduction for water
saving measures
=542.5 gpd x 80%
=434 gpd
Population =434 gpd/100 gallons per capita per day=4 people
Multifamily Units:
Population = (56 units) x(2.0 residents/unit) = 112 persons
Design Average Daily Wastewater Flow= (112) x 100 gpcpd with 20% reduction for water saving
measures
= 11,200 gpd x 80%
Page 2
= 8,960 gpd
Total Design Average Daily Wastewater Flow=434 gpd +8,960 gpd =9,394 gpd
Total Population = 112+4= 116 persons
Peak Hour Factor(P = population in thousands)
- [18+ P112) = (18 +0.1161/2) =4.18
(4+ P112) (4+0.1161/2)
PHF=4.18
Cumulative Peak Hour Wastewater Flow
= (Average Daily Wastewater Flow)x (Peak Hour Factor)
= (9,394 gpd)x (4.18)
=39,266 gpd
= 27.26 gpm (calculated design flow, required flow)
Pipe Size Required—Based on Manning's formula using an "n" value of 0.013 for PVC and using
the cumulative peak hour waste hour flow calculated above
_ ARSB
Q (calculated design capacity and velocity)
Trial Pipe size= 6"
Pipe Slope =0.005 ft/ft minimum
Full Velocity= 2.02 fps
Full Capacity=0.40 cfs= 179 gpm
179 gpm (design capacity) >27.26 gpm (required capacity)
Therefore Use 6" Diameter Pipe for all Gravity Service Laterals
Wastewater flows from the proposed development will be collected on site and conveyed via gravity
piping to the existing public sewer main along Station Lane and ultimately to the existing pump station
on Station Lane immediately adjacent to the project site.
The existing pump station on Station Lane has been identified to have capacity deficiencies.These
deficiencies were outlined in the Engineer's Report prepared by Bergmann Associates dated August 16,
2017 for the Station Park Project that was previously proposed to the west of the proposed Faden -
West Ave project.This report identified four potential projects within the area that would contribute to
the existing pump station and cause capacity issues.The 4 projects included the Station Park Project,
Askew Apartments, Intrada Development and the Faden—West Ave project. At that time, the
anticipated flows that were included within the Bergmann Associates report for the Faden—West Ave
project were as follows:
Page 3
Average Daily Wastewater Flow= 18,393 gpd
Cumulative Peak Hour Wastewater Flow= 62,536 gpd
Currently proposed for the Faden—West Ave project are as follow:
Average Daily Wastewater Flow=9,394 gpd
Cumulative Peak Hour Wastewater Flow= 39,266 gpd
9,394 gpm (currently proposed) < 18,393 gpd (Bergmann Associates report)
39,266 gpm (currently proposed)< 62,536 gpd (Bergmann Associates report)
The Bergmann Associates report proposed upgrades to the existing pump station with each project
contributing to the cost of the upgrades. The Station Park project did not advance while the remaining
three projects continued. Most notably, the Intrada Development advanced through approvals and
construction first. As a part of their approvals and construction they reevaluated the pumps station
improvements with the elimination of the Station Park project and they were required to fund and
perform the improvements to the pump station as a part of their construction. Both the Askew
Apartments and the Faden—West Ave project are aware of the improvements that were required for
the Intrada Development and have agreed to provide cost sharing proportionate to the contributing
flows. Based on the above it is expected that the existing and proposed sanitary system has adequate
capacity to collect and convey the anticipated flow and that the project will not have an adverse impact
on the existing system.
WATER DEMANDS
The water usage rates have been calculated for the 56 residential multifamily units based on the 10 State
Standards of 100 gpdpc,with an anticipated population of 2.0 residents per unit.Water usage rates for the
5,425 sf of retail space is based on 0.1 gpd/sf(from the "New York State Design Standard for Intermediate
Sized Wastewater Treatment Systems").The Average Day,Max Day,and Max Hour Water usage rates usage
for the site have been calculated to be 9,394 gpd, 15,500 gpd, and 29.35 gpm, respectively. A detailed
outline of the water demand calculations are as follows:
Retail Space:
Retail = 5,425 sf x 0.1 gpd/sf= 542.5 gpd
Water Demand Average Day with 20%water reduction for water saving fixtures:
= 542.5 gpd x 80%
=434 gpd
Multifamily Units:
Population = (56 units) x (2.0 residents/unit) = 112 persons
Design Average Daily Wastewater Flow = (112) x 100 gpcpd x 20% reduction for water saving
measures
= 11,200 gpd x 80%
= 8,960 gpd
Total =434 gpd +8,960 gpd =9,394 gpd

Water Demand Rates (Based on National Average)
Average Day = 100%of average daily demand rate
Max Day = 165%of average daily demand rate
Max Hour =450%of average daily demand rate
Water Demand For Service Area
Average Day = (100%)x(9,394 gpd) = 9,394 gpd = 6.52 gpm
Max Day = (165%) x(9,394 gpd) = 15,500 gpd = 10.76 gpm
Max Hour = (450%) x(9,394 gpd) = 42,273 gpd = 29.35 gpm
The water service connection to the City of Saratoga Springs Public Works water system will provide the
domestic and fire protection needs of the proposed development. The proposed buildings will have
automatic sprinkler systems.The project proposes two 6" DIP connection into the proposed 6" DIP water
main that will extend to the existing 8" DIP located along the south side of Station Lane.The connection
shall utilize a tapping sleeve and valve to prevent disruption to the water supply during construction.The
proposed water system is shown in the attached plan set.
The estimated water usage and wastewater flows for the Faden — West Ave Site Plan are relatively
insignificant in comparison with the water and wastewater capacity in the area. The project applicant has
agreed to participate and contribute to the local sanitary sewer improvements that will improve the existing
systems.Therefore, it is expected that the connection of the water and sanitary systems will not have an
adverse impact on the existing utilities.
Please review this letter/report and pending your approval please provide an approval letter for this
connection. Please contact me at 899-5243 ext. 104 if you have any questions or require any additional
information.Thank you.
