4.2 TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION than originally anticipated, it is recommended that as a condition of approval of such events, a traffic study be conducted addressing the increased tournament sizes. Parking would be provided within the boundaries of the site at the clubhouse and in designated spaces along the primary collector road,but set back far enough to avoid blocking any portion of the travel lanes (as required by County Code). Site Circulation and Access The project site has been evaluated for vehicle circulation relative to project access and circulation along the peripheral streets of Davis Road and Forest Lake Road. The proposed project would consist of four project access locations. The main access point would be on Davis Road north of Peltier Road and another access road would extend from Forest Lake Road. Two additional access points along Forest Lake Road would provide access via cul-de-sacs to two residential areas consisting of six homesites. A primary collector street would extend from the southern access on Davis Road across the Mokelumne River via a bridge to the northern access at Forest Lake Road. From the collector road three local roads terminating in cul-de-sacs would extend to homesites. The collector road would also provide access to the golf course club house. All internal roads are proposed to be private. It is recommended that the internal roads be constructed to County standards for rural roads(as outlined in County Standard Drawing R-3). Vehicle trips within the project site originating from the various residential locations have been distributed on the internal street network. Because of the gated access and the even distribution of residential "clusters" throughoutthe project site, traffic volumes are spread out on the main local roads. Intersection operating conditions indicate levels of service of A during both peak hours on the internal streets and intersections, therefore there would not be any significant traffic circulation impacts at intersections within the development. A gravel secondary access road would also extend from Jahant Road to the primary collector within the project site. This road is located entirely north of the Mokelumne River which could provide another access to the development if the primary access road crossing over the river was inoperable. The secondary road combined with the two main access locations would provide adequate emergency vehicle access to the site. Refer to Figure 2-2,unimproved road leading from the project site, and Figure 4.2-3. The gravel secondary access road should be constructed with sufficient gravel to conform with the Fire Code Standards. According to cross-sectional street diagrams provided in the Buckeye Ranch site plan(Kjeldsen-Sinnock & Associates, 1990)the primary collector road would consist of 9-foot wide travel lanes and 5-foot wide gravel shoulders, for a total width of 28 feet. 4.2-14
