Item No. PC: 415-93 SA-93-3 Page 4 After the apples have been kept in the controlled atmosphere cold storage for 90 days,they will be taken to the apple packing shed'on the adjoining parcel to be packed for shipping or on-site cold storm. During the fire week cherry packing season,there will be 976 incoming trucks with cherries and 399 mfflgwatgd trucks that will haul the packed cherry bakes.This would average about 39 track trips,per day during the five-week cherry season. The applicant estimates 110 vehicle trips per day except for a two-week period when there will be an additional 80 vehicle trips for the additional work shift. During the six months when the cold storage is being filled or emptied, there will be nine employees with six vehicle trips. A traffic-shady, completed by Omni-Means in March 1993, noted that the Increase in the cold storage fac intles will eliminate the need for off-site storage. Consequently,the number of shuttle track trips to move the fruit hack and forth from existing storage facilities located in Stockton.and Lodi will be eliminated. The-traft study inducted an evaluation of the accident-history. for Fairchild.'Lane and the = F MWdWSW:between.the proposed:packing fac':lity operations and the potential far increased vehk"w conffts-at the-subject curve. Based.on the:number of reported accidents and:the _ e ting.tragic vokmm,being carried by Fairchild Lane,the acciderd rates are below statewide averagmfor expected accidents on similar fac€kties The std noted._ hat the increase traffic.-, :.. volume on Fairchild Lane at the curve would.be approximately 32 vehicles in the PM peau hour and 321 vehicle movements on a daily basis for only the period when cherriesare being processed. There is no expected increase in large truck traffic on Fairchild Lane as a result of the proposed project, since all.large trucks are dispatched via Jack Tone Road. Any truck traffic along Fairchild Lane is a result of truck hauling fruits from orchards it the Fairchild lane area, The trafFtc.study reviewed the Intersections of Baker Lane/Jack Tone Road, Fairchild Lane/Jack Tone Road,State Route 26/Jack Tone Road,Fairchild Lane/Alpine Road,and Fairchild Lane/State Route 88. Good operating conditions are experienced at all intersections during the PM peak hour demand period, and none of the intersections most peak hour warrants for signalization. ' Based..on existing traffic volumes, all study roadways are operating at acceptable service levels. Under eads&Q plus project conditions, all of the intersections are expected to operate satisfactorily. The proposed project was evaluated within the context of cumulative conditions to provide a edition for impacts associated with the site. Under the cumulative cxmditkm prior to the _ adcRion of the project, the fokffi".three Intersections would operate acceptably: Jack Tone Road/Oak" Road, Jack Tom. Roadffairchiid lane, and. Fairchild Lane/Alpine Road. The interseior�s of Jack Tone Road/State-Route 26 and Fairchild Lane/State Route 88 would. peak how.volume warrants for signaltzatiorL The addition of project trafiiic-to the.cumulative. conditions would:have only a minimal effect on intersection operations. The study recommends street widenings to accommodate additional travel lames and expanded intersection cion as the primary physical improvements that are prescribed to reduce:
