Box 435 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 RE: Trip Generation Assessment,Stewart's Shop,City of Saratoga Springs,Saratoga County, New York;CM Project No. 121-044 Dear Mr. Marshall: Creighton Manning Engineering, LLP has completed a trip generation assessment for the proposed relocation of an existing Stewart's Shop located at 15 Maple Dell to 33 Marion Avenue in the City of Saratoga Springs. This evaluation is based on information provided in the "Conceptual Plan," prepared by Stewart's Shops last revised August 11, 2021 included under Attachment A.

Trip generation data was collected at the existing Stewart's Shop convenience market and the East Side Wine and Spirits liquor store located on Maple Dell during the AM and PM peak hours on February 10 and 11, 2021. In addition,trip generation data was also collected for the existing Mobil Gas Station and the Clean02 car wash at the same time. A summary of the existing trip generation for the land uses on Maple Dell and Marion Avenue is included on Table 2.

The existing 2,000 SF liquor store does not generate traffic during the AM peak hour; however, it generates approximately 21 trips per 1,000 SF during the PM peak hour. The trip generation estimate for the new 5,000 SF commercial space located at 33 Marion Avenue is based on this observed trip rate since it is assumed that the liquor store will relocate into this larger space. It is assumed that the trips associated with the existing car wash on Marion Avenue will stay the same after redevelopment of the site since the land use will not change. It is noted that the construction of the proposed Stewart's Shop will replace/repurpose the existing Mobile Gas Station and car wash into a new and improved store; therefore, these existing trips were removed from the total trip generation of the site since they currently exist on Marion Avenue. It can be expected that some trips to the gas station/convenience store originate from traffic that is already passing the site on Marion Avenue. Pass-by trips are vehicles that will stop at the site before continuing on to their primary destination. For example,a driver traveling northbound on Marion Avenue leaving work may ` ;Creighton I M�nninq Mr.Chuck Marshall Updated November 11,2021 Page 3 of 4 stop at the convenience store and then continue northbound towards home. This type of trip is considered a pass-by trip. Based on a review of data published by ITE, a pass-by trip percentage of 60% to 65% was applied to trips generated by the gas station/convenience store. It is anticipated that trips generated by the liquor store could also be reduced by a pass-by credit; however, ITE does not provide pass-by credits for this type of land use. In order to provide a conservative assessment, a pass-by credit was not applied to the liquor store commercial space. A summary of the trip generation at 33 Marion Avenue is shown in Table 3.

Table 4 provides an executive summary that shows the number of new trips to the whole project area. `�Creighton ♦ M�nninq Mr.Chuck Marshall Updated November 11,2021 Page 4 of 4 Table 4—Trip Generation Summary to Project Area Land Use AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Enter Exit Total Enter Exit Total � � v Total Trips 83 89 172 121 142 263 Q � � c F— a> > °�° � � Total Pass-ByTrips -39 -39 -78 -47 -47 -94 � Q o w �O fo � � Total PrimaryTrips 44 50 94 74 95 169 125 126 251 187 193 380 N .a c Total Trips to 33 Marion Avenue v �" � ° a, � � � fO � -67 -67 -134 -71 -71 -142 o � m m � Total Pass-By Trips to 33 Marion Avenue a 'o 0 o a 58 59 117 116 122 238 a � " Total Primary Trips to 33 Marion Avenue �o Total New Trips to Project Area 42 37 79 66 51 117 oTotal New Pass-By Trips to Project Area -28 -28 -56 -24 -24 -48 Total New Primary Trips to Project Area 14 9 23 42 27 69 Table 4 indicates that the proposed project will generate 23 new primary trips to the project area during the AM peak hour and 69 new primary trips to the project area during the PM peak hour. 3.0 Trip Generation Conclusions The trip generation analysis indicates that relocation of the uses from 15 Maple Dell and re-development of the Mobile Gas Station and Clean02 car wash businesses located at 33 Marion Avenue with a new Stewart's Shop with car wash bays, a new EastSide Wine and Spirit store, and four residential townhomes will generate 23 new primary trips during the AM peak hour and 69 new primary trips during the PM peak hour to the project area.
