Title of Agenda Item: Award Bid for Four Rear-Loading Refuse Cab and Chassis. (R-2)

Council Goal: Govern with Quality, Responsiveness, Efficiency

Background: Following the announcement that the Orange County Landfill will close on June 30, 2013, the Town conducted a comprehensive review of solid waste services. Subsequently, the Council has conducted a deliberate process of considering the recommendations of the Solid Waste Review. At the December 3, 2012 Business Meeting, Town Council approved a budget amendment, which authorized the Solid Waste Services division to move forward with several of the immediate recommendations of the solid waste review, including the purchase of additional refuse collection trucks to facilitate the transition to Durham.

Council authorized the purchase of three traditional trucks, and one compressed natural gas (CNG) truck. The new rear-loading refuse trucks will replace older models that are not compatible with the extended driving distance to Durham, NC and do not comply with weight capacity restrictions. The new trucks will have 20% additional hauling capacity and will increase the Town's ability to efficiently transport refuse to Durham, NC.

Fiscal ote: Adoption of the attached resolution would award the bid from Southern Truck Service for four Crane Carrier low-entry rear loading refuse cab and chassis with a total cost of $580,207.

SUBJECT: Award Bid for Four Rear Loading Refuse Cab and Chassis

DATE: March 11, 2013

PURPOSE

Adoption of the attached resolution would award the bid from Southern Truck Service for four Crane Carrier low-entry rear loading refuse cab and chassis with a total cost of $580,207. These rear loading chassis will be fitted with Hail PT 1000 rear loading bodies by Carolina Environmental Systems which have been purchased through National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) at a cost of $268,000. The trucks will be used by the Solid Waste Services Division of Public Works to collect residential waste and transport refuse to Durham, NC, as a result of the impending closure of the Orange County Landfill.

BACKGROUD

Following the announcement that the Orange County Landfill will close on June 30, 2013, the Town conducted a comprehensive review of solid waste services. Subsequently, the Council has conducted a deliberate process of considering the recommendations of the Solid Waste Review. At the December 3, 2012 Business Meeting, Town Council approved a budget amendment, which authorized the Solid Waste Services division to move forward with several of the immediate recommendations of the solid waste review, including the purchase of additional refuse collection trucks to facilitate the transition to Durham. The amounts financed, reflected in the amendment to the Vehicle Replacement Fund, are as follows:

° Purchase of 3 large capacity tandem axle truck chassis @ $135,220 each ° Purchase of 1 compressed natural gas fueled tandem axle truck chassis @ $174,547 ° Less: Previously Budgeted Replacements ($286,150) via the Fleet Replacement Plan Council authorized the purchase of three traditional trucks, and one compressed natural gas (CNG) truck. The purchase of additional CNG trucks was not recommended, given that the Town’s current infrastructure would require a $250,000-$275,000 upgrade to meet the fueling capacity requirements.

The new rear loading refuse trucks will replace older models that are not compatible with the extended driving distance to Durham, NC and do not comply with weight capacity restrictions. The new trucks will have 20% additional hauling capacity and will increase the Town’s ability to efficiently transport refuse to Durham, NC.

MEMORADUM

TO: Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

FROM: J.B. Culpepper, Planning Director Kenneth C. Pennoyer, Business Management Director David Bonk, Long Range and Transportation Manager Len Cone, Transportation Community Outreach Coordinator

SUBJECT: Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Grant Application for FY2013 - 2014

DATE: March 11, 2013

PURPOSE

The purpose of this memorandum is to seek the Council’s support for the Town to submit a request to the Triangle J Council on Governments for Transportation Demand Management (TDM) grant funds. A resolution of support for the program from the elected body is a submission requirement of the grant application. BACKGROUD

As part of a Triangle regional 7 year TDM plan, the Town was awarded a grant in the spring of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 for implementation of transportation demand management programs in Chapel Hill. The Town’s Transportation Demand Management Program works directly with local employers and their employees to provide information and develop programs designed to expand the use of public transit, bicycling and walking. The TDM program also complements the Town’s requirement that new developments prepare and implement transportation management plans intended to reduce congestion and expand the use of alternative modes of transportation.

The Town is reapplying for the TDM grant for fiscal year July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014. Other agencies applying include Triangle Transit, NC State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, North Carolina Central University, Wake Technical Community College and Triangle Transit. DISCUSSIO

We anticipate a total TDM budget of approximately $85,276 which would provide funding for the TDM activities, staff salaries and preparation of related marketing materials. The TDM grant funds would provide $42,638 which is 50% of the total proposed budget. The remaining 50% program match of $42,638 would be provided through local funding to be determined during the Council’s budget discussion. The FY2013-2014 TDM funds will support outreach and marketing activities undertaken by the Town’s Planning and Transit Departments. If grant is awarded to the Town, the Town can decide not to accept the grant based on budget issues at the 11

time. The Town may also only use a portion of the funding and not the entire grant amount awarded.

The Town’s transportation demand management program works with local employers to implement a range of programs intended to promote the use of alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, bicycling and walking. The program also oversees the Town’s Transportation Management Program (TMP), which currently includes participation by over 6,000 employees, town wide.

The Town’s TDM program works directly with 108 locations, representing over 370 businesses in Chapel Hill, distributing information about the Chapel Hill Transit services and coordinating various outreach programs that promote alternative transportation. The TDM program coordinates such events as the annual Safe Routes to School, Bike to Work, Bike Chapel Hill, Bike Month and Dump the Pump events. RECOMMEDATIO

That the Council adopt the attached resolution supporting the Town’s FY2013-2014 Transportation Demand Management grant application.

TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL NORTH CAROLINA Meeting Date: 3/11/2013 AGEDA #5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Title of Agenda Item: Amend Town Regulations on Service of Alcoholic Beverages on Town Properties. (R-4)(O-1)

Council Goal: Champion Downtown

Background: The Council established, through resolution (2010-5-10/R-3), rules and regulations for the serving and consumption of beer and unfortified wine in town parking lots 2, 3, and 5, and the top level of the Wallace Parking Plaza when approved as part of a special event by Town Council. A petition from the Chapel Hill Library Foundation President was received requesting a proposed amendment to Chapter 3, Sec 3.2 (attached). This would permit the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation to serve alcohol at designated fundraising events. It is proposed that the Ordinance be amended to allow alcohol to be served when the building or adjacent outdoor space is used for any special event of five (5) hours or less, provided the event sponsor complies with all applicable state laws, regulations, and permits pertaining to the service of alcoholic beverages and meets the indemnification and insurance requirements of Sec. 17-88(g) of the Town Code. The soon to be completed 140 West Project includes a public plaza. Special events and programming will be implemented on the 140 West Plaza as part of the Parks & Recreation Cultural Arts Division mission. The proposed Ordinance change to Chapter 3, Sec. 3-5., would allow malt beverages and unfortified wine to be sold, served and consumed in the public space at the 140 West Plaza as well as the Town's larger parking lots 2 and 3 downtown, and on the top level of the Wallace Parking Plaza.

Fiscal ote: Further amending Town Code Chapter 3 to include the 140 West Plaza and the Chapel Hill Public Library will not incur additional Town expenditures, but may result in additional revenue production.

Recommendations: That Council enact the amendment to Chapter 3, Section 3.5 of the Town Code and adopt the attached Resolution modifying Resolution (2010-05-10/R3).

MEMORADUM

TO: Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

FROM: Ray “Butch” Kisiah, Director of Parks & Recreation Jeffrey J. York, Public Arts Administrator

SUBJECT: Amendments to Town Regulations on Service of Alcoholic Beverages on Town Properties

DATE: March 11, 2013

PURPOSE

The purpose of this memo is to request that the Council modify Town regulations on service of alcoholic beverages on two Town properties:

1. The Chapel Hill Public Library.

2. Parking Lot 5 (now the 140 West Plaza).

Amendments to the Town Code and a Council Resolution are included to make these changes (attachments). BACKGROUD

Chapter 3, Section 3.5, the Ordinance currently reads:

“Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4, of the Town Code, the sale, purchase, and possession of malt beverages and unfortified wines, the possession of open containers of malt beverages and unfortified wines and their consumption shall be lawful on town parking lots 2, 3, and 5, and the top level of the Wallace Parking Plaza when approved as part of a special event approved by the town council. The council shall by resolution establish rules and regulations for those events.”

The Council established, through resolution (2010-5-10/R-3), rules and regulations for those events.

A petition from the Chapel Hill Library Foundation President has been received requesting a proposed amendment to Chapter 3, Sec 3.2 (attached). This would permit the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation to serve alcohol at designated fundraising events. It also proposes that the Ordinance be amended to allow alcohol to be served when the building or adjacent outdoor space is used for any special event of five (5) hours or less, provided the event sponsor complies with all applicable state laws, 15

regulations, and permits pertaining to the service of alcoholic beverages and meets the indemnification and insurance requirements of Sec. 17-88(g) of the Town Code.

The 140 West Project will be completed this spring and includes a public plaza. Special events and programming will be implemented on the public 140 West Plaza as part of the Parks & Recreation Festivals and Community Events. The proposed Ordinance change to Chapter 3, Sec. 3-5., would allow malt beverages and unfortified wine to be sold, served and consumed at the public space at the 140 West Plaza.

DISCUSSIO

The Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation wishes to host fundraising events on site at the new Chapel Hill Public Library. Such fund raisers, in the past at other locations, have raised over $225,000 with additional gifts being received after the events. These events have included the serving of and the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Space now exists in the new Library to host a variety of special events. The Chapel Hill Public Library would like the option to allow the service of those beverages at designated events at the Chapel Hill Public Library and adjacent outdoor spaces.

The addition of the new public space at the 140 West Plaza, will enhance the Town’s ability to implement programming aligned with the 2020 Plan, to provide open spaces Downtown for the public to gather, and enjoy planned activities. As part of the development agreement between the Town and Ram Realty, the 140 West Plaza will be programmed through Parks and Recreation with regularly scheduled music, art programs, festivals and other events. While the majority of these programs would not involve the serving of and consumption of malt beverages and unfortified wine, the Parks and Recreation Department would like to reserve the option to serve those beverages on the 140 West Plaza at designated community events with the proper permits and permissions.

The proposed ordinance amendment deletes Town parking lot 5 and adds the 140 West Plaza to the list of sites where alcohol may be served.

In addition to these amendments to Chapter 3 of the Town Ordinance, we believe it is appropriate for the Council to amend the current resolution (2010-5-10/R-3), establishing rules and regulations for the service and consumption of malt beverages and unfortified wine on town owned parking lots and public plazas, to delete parking lot 5 and replace it with the 140 West Plaza and add the Chapel Hill Library and adjacent outdoor spaces.

Currently, approval for events serving alcohol on Town properties requires Council action. Further amendments to the Resolution would grant the Town Manager authority to approve alcohol service requests for events and their specific dates, times and locations at Town Parking Lots 2, 3, 140 West, the top level of the Wallace Parking Plaza, and at the Chapel Hill Public Library in addition to the Town Manager’s current authority to issue permits for the service and consumption of malt beverages and unfortified wine for those special events. 16

FISCAL OTE

Further amending Town Code Chapter 3 to include the Chapel Hill Public Library and 140 West Plaza and the will not incur additional Town expenditures, but may result in additional revenue production. RECOMMEDATIO

That Council enact the amendment to Chapter 3, Section 3.5 of the Town Code and adopt the attached Resolution modifying Resolution (2010-05-10/R3).

Enriching Our Community by Helping Our Library Collections Grow

Suite 145 PO Box 4771 McClamroch Hall Chapel Hill, NC 27515-4771 88 VilCom Circle Chapel Hill, NC 27514

Mr. Roger L. Stancil Town Manager, Chapel Hill Town Hall, Second Floor 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Chapel Hill, NC 27514-5705

Dear Roger,

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this afternoon concerning the Library Foundation’s desire to hold a fundraising event in the newly-reopened Library in April. The Foundation would like to hold the event on Saturday evening, April 27th, from 7-9 PM. This would be after the close of normal Library hours.

We would like to hold the event in the two large conference rooms and this would be a stand-up event with small tables for food and beverages and a few chairs for those that need them. We hope to have as many as 150-200 patrons at this event and it is my understanding that the capacity of those two rooms (144, 84) would allow for the proposed number of attendees. We plan on serving beer and wine at this event and thus the Library will need to be added to the list of Town facilities at which alcohol might be served. I understand from our conversation that you will take care of adding the Library to the list.

We would like to have volunteers from the Library Staff escort the donors on tours of the newly-re-opened Library and several Staff members have already expressed a willingness to do so. We will provide bottles of flavored water for people to take with them on the tours, if they wish, in order that neither alcohol nor liquids capable of staining will be carried into the collections areas.

As I mentioned to you, please let me know if the Foundation needs to arrange to have any public safety personnel (police and/or fire) on site for this event. We will be happy to make those arrangements if necessary.

Roger, thanks again for all your help.

Best wishes,

George J. Cianciolo President 22

DATE: March 11, 2013

ITRODUCTIO

Tonight, the Town Council continues the public hearing from January 23, 2013 1 and February 27, 2013. Adoption of the attached Resolution A would approve a Special Use Permit to allow the expansion of the existing Residential Support Facility and associated parking. The site is located in the Office/Institutional -2 zoning district and is identified as Ora nge County Parcel Identifier Number 9788-54-5304.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, representing the Ronald McDonald House, has submitted an application which proposes the following:

1 http:// chapelhillpublic.novusagenda.com/Bluesheet.aspx?itemid=2079&meetingid=196

• Request first time Special Use Permit (earlier expansion predated current Special Use Permit threshold); • Add 24 new lodging units to 30 existing units for a total of 54 units; • Add 25,416 square feet of floor area to 20,564 existing square feet for a total of 45,980 square feet; and • Add 24 new vehicular parking spaces to 41 existing spaces for a total of 65 spaces.

The attached Resolution B would deny the application.

RECOMMEDATIO We recommend that the Council approve the Special Use Permit application with the adoption of Revised Resolution A.

The following stipulations were added to Revised Resolution A: • Highland Woods Road Pedestrian Improvements • Old Mason Farm Road Pedestrian Improvements • Asphalt Recreational Path

PROCESS

Tonight, the Council continues the public hearings and considers possible action.

Report and Town Evaluation Recommendation Continue of Application Report Presented presented to Town Public Hearing, According to to Planning Board Council, Close Hearing, Standards Open Council Action Public Hearing

DISCUSSIO The issued raised at the Public Hearing are discussed below:

• Lighting at the bus stop • Location of the public art • Parking needs connection to transit funding 1. Lighting at the Bus Stop: At the Public Hearing, a Council member asked the applicant if there would be lighting at the bus stop. Staff Comment: Yes, in Resolution A, this question is addressed in the “Bus Stop Improvement” stipulation which states: “Prior to the issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit the applicant shall

provide dimensional details of the concrete pad and technical details of the bus shelter’s lighting installation to Chapel Hill Transit.” 2. Location of the Public Art: At the Public Hearing, a Council member stated that the location of the public art was restricted to the interior courtyard and did not seem public. The Council member encouraged the applicant to consider a new location for the public art. Staff Comment: We encourage the applicant to consider the location of the public art but Resolution A does not mandated its location. In Resolution A, the “Public Art” stipulation states: “Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the applicant shall continue to work with the Town to finalize a public arts plan.” 3. Parking eeds Connection to Transit Funding: At the Public Hearing, a Council member stated that transit funding was not guaranteed forever and asked the staff to provide information about the parking needs of this project with the bus service being provided. Staff Comment: The applicant’s proposal for a reduction in the minimum required parking spaces is based on their experience at the facility and the associated availability of transit service. We recommend adoption of Resolution A which would authorize a modification of the regulations for the site expansion with a total of 65 parking spaces.

EVALUATIO OF THE APPLICATIO Tonight the Council receives information submitted by the applicant and our evaluation. All information submitted at the public hearing will be part of the record of the hearing. Based on the evidence submitted, the Council will consider whether or not it can make each of four required findings for the approval of the Special Use Permit:

a) That the use or development is located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; b) That the use or development complies with all required regulations and standards of this Chapter, including all applicable provisions of the Land Use Management Ordinance; c) That the use of development is located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property, or that the use or development is a public necessity; and d) That the use or development conforms with the general plans for the physical development of the Town as embodied in the Land Use Management Plan and in the Comprehensive Plan.

We anticipate receiving additional public comment and evidence at the public hearing. Following the hearing, we will prepare an evaluation of the evidence submitted in support of and in opposition to this application.

RESPOSE TO ADVISORY BOARD COMMETS

Planning Board : The Planning Board met on November 20, 2012, and voted 7-0 to recommend that the Council approve the Special Use Permit application with Resolution A with the following adjustment:

• Reduce the size of the internal courtyard in order to save as many trees as possible between the development and the Highland Woods neighborhood.

Please see the attached Summary of Planning Board Action.

Staff Comment: The applicant has stated that in order to reduce the size of the internal courtyard, the buildings would need to be brought closer together which force the elimination of one of the buildings. In order to maintain the room count, a third floor would need to be added to several of the proposed buildings which is contrary to the representations that the applicant has provided to the Highland Woods neighborhood residents. (The Highland Woods neighborhood is designated by the Town as a Neighborhood Conservation District Zoning Overlay.) In addition, the applicant has stated that a significant portion of the courtyard is dedicated to above-ground and below-ground stormwater management measures. If the size of the courtyard was reduced, the stormwater measures would need to be relocated elsewhere, mostly like in the west and northwest of the site. Since trees cannot be located in stormwater management areas, more trees would need to be cut down to create a new stormwater management area in the western and northwestern portion of the site. In consideration of these concerns and since the application already meets the requirements of the Tree Ordinance, we do not recommend adding a new stipulation to reduce the size of the courtyard as requested by the Board.

Transportation Board : The Transportation Board met on December 13, 2012, and voted 5-0 to recommend that the Council approve the Special Use Permit application with Resolution A with the following adjustment:

• Add a new stipulation which states that the bus shelter improvements include lighting.

Please see the attached Summary of Transportation Board Action.

Staff Comment: Chapel Hill shelters typically include lighting as a part of the shelter installation. A stipulation has been added which states that the applicant should work with Chapel Hill Transit on the technical details of the installation.

Community Design Commission : The Community Design Commission met on November 28, 2012 and voted 8-0 to recommend that the Council approve the Special Use Permit application with Resolution A with conditions.

Please see the attached Summary of Community Design Commission Action.

Staff Comment: No amendments were necessary following the Community Design Commission’s review.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board : The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board met on November 27, 2012 and voted 7-0 with one abstention to recommend that the Council approve the Special Use Permit application with Resolution A with the following adjustments:

• Add stipulation which states that the proposed multi-use path be maintained by the property owner or its lessee • Construct the proposed sidewalk on Old Mason Farm Road referenced in Stipulation #8 in a non-meandering fashion that also preserves as many trees as possible • That the Transportation Management Plan consists of monitoring and reporting bicycle usage/parking on the site; the applicant shall be responsible for providing additional bicycle parking spaces as needed if demand increases

Please see the attached Summary of Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board Action.

Staff Comment regarding maintenance of the multi-use path: The applicant recommended that the stipulation state that the path be maintained by the lessee; therefore, we have added a stipulation which states that the path be maintained by the lessee. Staff Comment regarding sidewalk construction: The sidewalk design has been proposed to accommodate the existing topography and right-of-way location; therefore, we do not recommend adjustment to this stipulation as requested by the Board.

Staff Comment regarding monitoring of bicycle usage: The applicant is requesting a modification to regulations to provide 12 new bicycle parking spaces rather than the ordinance-required 22 spaces. We believe that the Council could make the public purpose finding noted above based on the lack of need for additional bicycle parking spaces due to the unlikeliness that the

temporary residents at the Ronald McDonald House will bring their bicycles and because the proposed number of bicycle parking spaces will accommodate the needs of the staff of the facility. If demand is demonstrated, the applicant has indicated a willingness to provide additional bicycle parking spaces to meet that demand, with the maximum number of spaces being 22 to meet the ordinance requirement. We have included a stipulation in Resolution A that would require the applicant to increase bicycle parking if the demand is demonstrated.

REVISED RESOLUTIO A (Staff Recommendation) (Approving the Special Use Permit Application)

A RESOLUTIO APPROVIG A APPLICATIO FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE ROALD MCDOALD HOUSE EXPASIO (PI 9788-54-5304, Project o. 12-0004) (2013-03-11/R-5)

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that it finds that the Special Use Permit application, for the Ronald McDonald House at 101 Old Mason Farm Road, proposed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who is representing the Ronald McDonald House, on property identified as part of Orange County Property Identifier Number 9788-54- 5304, if developed according to the Site Plan with cover sheet dated November 18, 2011 and revised September 25, 2012, and the conditions listed below would:

1. Be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;

2. Comply with all required regulations and standards of the Land Use Management Ordinance;

3. Be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; and

4. Conform with the general plans for the physical development of the Town as embodied in the Land Use Management Ordinance and in the Comprehensive Plan.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Town Council of Chapel Hill that it finds, in this particular case, that the following modifications satisfy public purposes to an equivalent or greater degree:

1. Modification of Subsection 5.9.7 of the Land Use Management Ordinance to reduce the minimum vehicular parking standards, requiring a 90 parking space minimum, by providing 25 fewer parking spaces or a total of 65 parking spaces.

2. Modification of Subsection 5.9.7 of the Land Use Management Ordinance to reduce the minimum bicycle parking standards, requiring a 22 bicycle parking space minimum, by providing 10 fewer parking spaces or a total of 12 bicycle parking spaces.

These findings are based on a determination that public purposes are satisfied to an equivalent or greater degree because the parking modifications promote alternative forms of transportation and do not require the provision of a larger parking lot. The proposal would expand an existing residential support facility which lacks the need for additional parking spaces or additional bicycle parking spaces due to the proposal’s proximity to public transit and the UNC Hospitals.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Council hereby approves the application for a Special Use Permit for the Ronald McDonald House in accordance with the plans listed above and with the conditions listed below:

TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL NORTH CAROLINA Meeting Date: 3/11/2013 AGEDA #7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Title of Agenda Item: Consider Amending the Downtown Fire Limits and Applicable Restrictions. (O-2)

Council Goal: Champion Downtown

Background: North Carolina General Statue 160A-435 requires the Town to enact one or more ordinances that establish and define the fire limits of the town. These areas are historically inclusive of downtown areas of towns and cities, where buildings are close together or adjoining, and which create a conflagration hazard. The additional building regulations that accompany construction within this area are designed to protect a town or city from the devastating loss of its downtown from fire that might occur without more stringent regulations.

Historically, the fire limits established by the Town of Chapel Hill have been associated with zoning districts and has included all property within the once Central Business District (CBD), and more recently the Town Center (TC) zoning districts. The Town has facilitated discussions between staff and representatives from the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership to discuss issues surrounding the fire limits and the options that might be available to continue to maintain the intent of the fire limit regulations, while also increasing opportunities for cost-effective and responsible development within our downtown. The results of this discussion have led to consensus that our current fire limits may be too comprehensive, resulting in over-regulation and potentially deterring development and redevelopment within portions of the downtown. Additionally, the current local ordinances for construction requirements within this area were, from experience, found to be misaligned with other state restrictions, causing confusion, frustration, and added expense to development and construction projects.

Recommendations: That the Council enact the attached Ordinance amending the Town Code to change the geographical boundaries of the Town's Fire Limits, and to change the building restrictions within these districts to reflect and align with the State Building Code for construction within the fire limits.

MEMORADUM

TO: Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

FROM: Dan Jones, Fire Chief Lance Norris, Public Works Director

SUBJECT: Amending the Downtown Fire Limits

DATE: March 11, 2013

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to recommend enactment of the attached ordinance that would make changes to the geographical limits of the Town’s Primary Fire Limits, and make changes to the building and safety requirements within the proposed new boundaries in an effort to simplify construction within the downtown area and promote development and redevelopment of property therein. BACKGROUD

North Carolina General Statue 160A-435 requires the Town to enact one or more ordinances that establish and define the fire limits of the town, which are generally the principal business portion of the town. These areas are historically inclusive of downtown areas of towns and cities, where buildings are close together or adjoining. The additional building regulations that accompany construction within this area are designed to protect a town or city from the devastating loss of its downtown from fire that might occur without more stringent regulations. This area established as the primary fire limits (with authority to create one or more separate secondary fire limits) is subject to more stringent regulations under the NC Building Codes, which generally restrict the erection, alteration, or relocating of a wood-framed building in the established fire limits. Additionally, the State Code restricts the establishment of any hazardous occupancy within the established limits.

DISCUSSIO

Historically, the fire limits established by the Town of Chapel Hill have been associated with zoning districts and has included all property within the once Central Business District (CBD), and more recently Town Center (TC) zoning districts. This basically encompassed property along the Franklin and Rosemary Street corridor from the Town limits to Henderson Street (Map provided in attachment).

In addition to the enhanced provisions required under the NC Building Code, the Town has enacted additional building requirements for buildings within the fire limits. These restrictions were enacted by ordinance and are found in Sec. 5-2 of Town Code (attached). In recent years, 49

these additional requirements from Town Code have created some frustration and confusion for property owners, contractors, and developers who were not familiar with the ordinance. In some cases, compliance with these additional restrictions have added to expense of construction within the designated area, and in some cases discouraged building improvements from occurring due to the added expense.

Recently, the Town has facilitated discussions with staff and representatives from the Downtown Partnership to discuss issues surrounding the fire limits and the options that might be available to continue to maintain the intent of the fire limit regulations, while also increasing opportunities for cost-effective and responsible development within our downtown.

The result of this discussion developed the following items for consideration;

• Reduction in the size of the Primary Fire District to include properties along the 100 block of E. Franklin Street and a small portion of the 100 block of W. Franklin Street (map attached). The buildings included in this area are of similar construction type and share common walls and property lines, which are descriptive of the type construction intended for the Fire Limits regulations to protect. • Creation of a Secondary Fire Limit to include buildings along the North side of W. Franklin Street from N. Roberson Street to the old Ham’s Restaurant building, currently being renovated for Mellow Mushroom. This block of buildings is again similar to the construction type and use as found in the proposed Primary Fire Limits and appropriate for protection by similar restrictions. Because, however, the area is not adjacent to the proposed Primary Fire District, a separate Secondary Fire Limit would need to be established to encompass this area. • Remove the additional Town Code requirements found in Sec. 5-2 and establish the requirements for construction within the fire limits, including the Primary and Secondary Fire Limits, as the NC Building Code, Appendix D- Fire Districts. RECOMMEDATIO

That the Council enacts the attached ordinance to amend the area identified by the Town as the Primary Fire Limits; create a Secondary Fire Limits; and amend the Town building restrictions within these two fire limits.

A ORDIACE AMEDIG CHAPTER 5 OF THE CODE OF ORDIACES O THE ESTABLISHMET OF FIRE LIMITS (2013-03-11/O-2)

BE IT ORDAINED by the Town of Chapel Hill as follows:

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation

December 2012

Introduction

This is the annual brief summary report of the transportation impacts of the University’s Development Plan. It has been prepared in accordance with the June 27, 2005 guidelines issued by the Town of Chapel Hill. It is based on the results of the most recent Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA), which was the TIA submitted to the Town of Chapel Hill in December 2011. Because the Development Plan TIA has not been updated or modified since December 2011, this edition of the Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation is substantially similar to the December 2011 edition. Minor revisions and additions have been made to clarify certain issues and to provide an update on the status of transportation improvement projects on campus.

1: Development Plan Overview

Overview of Development Plan Projects

The Development Plan projects continue to be implemented, with some now completed, some under construction and some in design. The main projects completed so far include: • Rams Head Center • Student Family Housing buildings • Addition to Carrington Hall • Addition to Cobb Residence Hall • Additions to Memorial Hall • Additions to Alexander, Connor, and Winston Residence Halls • Jackson Circle Parking Deck • North East Chiller and Parking Deck • Science Complex Phase 1 (Caudill Laboratories and Chapman Hall) • Residence Halls Phase II (Ram Village) • Addition to the Medical Science Research Building (Bondurant Hall) • Tomkins Chiller Plant and Thermal Storage Facility • Student Academic Services Building • Arts Common Phase 1 • FedEx Global Education Building • ITS-Manning • Renovation to Morrison Hall • Williamson Building • Genetic Medicine Building • Physicians Office Building

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation – December 2012 65

• Manning Steam Plant • Science Complex Phase II – Addition to Sitterson Hall (Frederick Brooks Hall) • Addition to Boshamer Stadium • North Carolina Cancer Hospital • Addition to Carmichael Auditorium • Bell Tower Parking Deck • Sports Medicine Building • Science Complex Phase II – New Venable/Murray Hall • Genome Science Building • Dental Science Building

Construction continues at a number of locations throughout the campus, including: • Imaging Research Building • Other infrastructure projects

In total, the Development Plan projects involve about 7.9 million gross square feet of new buildings. This includes about 1.95 million square feet for parking decks and 312,382 square feet for infrastructure projects. About 235,000 gross square feet of existing buildings will be demolished. This means the net increase in occupiable floor area is about 5.6 million square feet.

Projects by Location

Table 1.1 lists the projects in detail, and Figure 1.1 shows their locations. The projects can be summarized as follows:

Type of building Square Academic 1,818,486 Cultural 140,629 Housing 923,163 Infrastructure 312,382 Office 460,200 Parking 1,950,700 Research 800,923 Student Life 339,699 UNC Health Care 257,159 Athletics 961,350 Total 7,964,691

Parking Space Impacts

Existing Parking

In 2000-2001, there were about 14,200 parking spaces on the main campus. Then, like now, this was not enough for all the employees or students wanting to park on campus. There were about 8,000 spaces for about 13,000 Main Campus employees, or 0.61 spaces per Main Campus employee. The rate for students was much lower - less than 10 percent for both resident students and commuting students. No freshman is eligible

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation – December 2012 66

for a permit on Main Campus, and no student living off-campus within a 2-mile radius of the Bell Tower is eligible.

Parking Changes

The Development Plan involves extensive changes to the parking supply. Around 4,061 existing spaces will be permanently closed, and around 5,640 new spaces will be provided, mostly in new structures. Some other spaces will be temporarily used for construction staging at various times.

The net effect is an approved increase of 1,579 spaces on campus when all the projects are completed. Table 1.2 and Figure 1.2 show these net changes. In some cases, the number of parking spaces by lot and user are estimates, as the final design of buildings and landscaping will determine how many surface spaces, if any, could be retained (particularly for service and disability spaces).

Visitor parking accounts for most of the net increase, reflecting the importance of accommodating visitors. However, there is expected to be a net increase of about 380 commuter spaces and a decrease of about 287 resident student spaces.

Impacts

The increase in commuter spaces is very low compared with expected population growth over the period of the plan. Employee numbers are forecast to grow by 31%, and student numbers by 18%. If resident and commuter parking were to continue to be provided at the existing (2000-2001) level, the overall increase would have been much greater than the approved 1,579.

The ‘shortfall’ (i.e. the difference between the amount of parking that would be required if parking continued to be provided at existing rates, and the amount that will actually be provided) is about 2,000 employee spaces, about 300 commuting student spaces and about 450 resident student spaces. The shortfall in commuter parking will be met by alternative modes, and the Development Plan includes a range of transportation initiatives to accommodate this. The shortfall in resident student parking will be met in storage lots off-campus. The needs of visitors will continue to be satisfied on-campus.

The amount of traffic that will be generated by the Development Plan is a function of the amount of parking that will be provided. The limited increase in parking will therefore limit the traffic impact. The increased parking (net increase of 1,579 spaces) is estimated to generate about 11,500 vehicle trips daily. A typical campus development of similar size, with unlimited parking and little or no transportation alternatives, would generate more than 34,000 trips daily. This means that the Development Plan projects will only generate about one-third of the trips that would be expected from a typical campus development of this size.

2: Development Plan Transportation Changes

Overview of Traffic Analysis

The Development Plan’s impact on roads on or near the campus, including 55 intersections, was analyzed using standard techniques for Traffic Impact Analysis. Three scenarios are considered: • Existing conditions (the traffic levels in 2011); • No-Build conditions (the forecast conditions in 2015 if the Development Plan projects did not exist); and • Build conditions (the forecast conditions in 2015 including the effects of the Development Plan projects).

The existing conditions were measured using traffic counts collected in Fall 2011 on days when the University was in session. Because similar analyses were undertaken in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009, changes in traffic levels can be tracked.

The No-Build conditions are forecast by applying annual growth rates to the existing traffic levels. The Build conditions are forecast by taking the No-Build traffic levels and adding the trips due to Development Plan projects. These trips are estimated from the forecast parking changes (described above), using known trip rates per parking space.

Changes in Traffic Volumes

Table 2-1 shows the average daily traffic volumes (ADTs) in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011 along with the No-Build and Build forecasts for 2015. Figure 2.1 illustrates the two forecasts for 2015.

Traffic volumes have generally remained stable, or, in some cases, decreased, since the 2007 counts. One possible reason is the ongoing development and implementation of the University’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, including full subsidy of ridership on Triangle Transit, doubling of the vanpool subsidy, and adding new transit routes such as the Pittsboro Express. Construction on campus is another possible explanation for the downward trend in daily traffic volumes. Construction on campus has disrupted traffic patterns and has also resulted in a net loss in on-campus parking since 2001. Another possible explanation is the increase in on-campus housing for students. Yet another possible explanation is the economic downturn and the effect that has had on average daily traffic volumes.

In the No-Build scenario, background traffic growth is expected to produce increased volumes. This is normal for growing areas such as Chapel Hill.

In the Build scenario, the further increase in traffic along most campus roads is expected to be minimal, although some intersections near proposed parking facilities will see specific turning movements increase noticeably. In some areas where parking is being eliminated, some turning movements will decrease compared to the No-Build scenario. The largest increase in traffic volumes will be on Manning Drive.

Intersection Level of Service Analysis

Delays at intersections are measured in terms of the Level of Service (LOS) in the peak hour. LOS ranges from A through F, based on the average control delay (the delay due to signals, stop signs, etc.). Table 2-2 explains the LOS categories. In urban areas, level D or above is generally regarded as acceptable for signalized intersections. At unsignalized intersections, level E or above on the side street is generally regarded as acceptable, although it is recognized that side streets typically function at level F because the traffic volumes often do not warrant a traffic signal to assist the side street traffic.

Table 2-2: Level of Service Descriptions for Intersections

Level of Delay at a Signalized Delay at an Unsignalized Description Service Intersection Intersection A Little or no delay 10 seconds or less 10 seconds or less B Short traffic delay 10-20 seconds 10-15 seconds C Average traffic delay 20-35 seconds 15-25 seconds D Long traffic delay 35-55 seconds 25-35 seconds E Very long traffic delay 55-80 seconds 35-50 seconds F Unacceptable delay More than 80 seconds More than 50 seconds

Table 2.3 summarizes the LOS at each intersection for each scenario. Each cell includes the overall LOS at the intersection and the LOS for the worst-performing approach.

Existing conditions

The levels of service at most intersections have remained the same or even improved since 2009. At most intersections, the overall level of service is acceptable, although some minor street approaches are suffering some longer delays.

The following sections discuss some of the intersections that are shown to be experiencing long peak period delays or that have been identified by the Town of Chapel Hill and/or the North Carolina Department of Transportation for pedestrian safety concerns.

Manning Drive at Fordham Boulevard The University has provided new traffic signal timings for this intersection, yet this intersection continues to experience the worst delays of the intersections immediately adjacent to the campus. The University prepared traffic signal plans in coordination with staff of the Town of Chapel Hill and NCDOT to upgrades at this intersection as well as at the adjacent intersection of Old Mason Farm Road at Fordham Boulevard. The proposed upgrades include crosswalk markings, wheelchair ramps, countdown pedestrian signals, pedestrian push-buttons, a new, larger pedestrian refuge island, and warning signs with flashing beacons for approaching drivers on Fordham Boulevard. The intent of these improvements is to provide a safer environment for pedestrians crossing the streets at each intersection. The improvements have been completed.

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation – December 2012 78

US 15-501 at Europa Drive/Erwin Road At the time of data collection for the 2007 TIA Update, the intersection of US 15-501 at Europa Drive / Erwin Road was still operating as a conventional intersection. However, during January 2008, this intersection was converted to a superstreet, which, according to the staff of NCDOT, has improved traffic flow on 15-501. The superstreet section of US 15-501 at Europa Drive and Erwin Road was fully operational when traffic data was collected in the Fall of 2011.

The superstreet section is reporting improved levels of service. All of the individual intersections that make up the superstreet section are operating at LOS C or better.

Although the superstreet at this location has improved traffic flow in this section of the corridor, a Major Investment Study (MIS) concluded that the size of the problem along 15-501 requires a large-scale integrated multimodal solution.

South Columbia Street at Cameron Avenue This intersection marks the north end of the South Columbia Street-Pittsboro Street one- way pair. It experiences a high volume of pedestrian and bicycle traffic and results in traffic queues along Cameron Avenue to Raleigh Street and South Columbia Street). The Town and NCDOT coordinated on a project to implement special traffic signal phasing at this intersection which includes a pedestrians-only phase. The intent of the new traffic signal phasing is to provide a safer environment for pedestrians crossing the streets at this intersection. The new phasing for this intersection was in operation during the collection of traffic data.

A couple of unsignalized intersections are experiencing long delays on the minor approaches. These intersections are discussed below:

South Columbia Street at Purefoy Road Although the analysis indicates long delays for the Purefoy Road approach, the installation of a traffic signal is not recommended. The implementation of a traffic signal at this location would most likely result in increased traffic volumes on Purefoy Road, which is counter to the recently implemented traffic calming measures. A new traffic signal at this intersection would also be detrimental to the traffic operations on South Columbia Street due to the close proximity to the interchange of South Columbia Street and 15-501.

Country Club Road at Battle Lane/Boundary Street This intersection was the subject of a special study during the analysis for Modification No. 1 of the UNC Development Plan. An outcome of that study was the implementation of measures to control the movement of pedestrians in the vicinity of this unsignalized intersection. Town staff has indicated that Town may wish to coordinate with the University to revisit the study of this intersection to determine the need for further upgrades. During discussions prior to the 2011 TIA update, staff of the Town expressed a desire to assess if peak period conditions merit additional improvements. Although some movements have experienced increased volume since 2007, no additional improvements are recommended at this time. The University will continue to monitor conditions at this intersection. In the past, staff of the Town of Chapel Hill has suggested the addition of an exclusive westbound left turn lane at the intersection of Country Club Road at Raleigh Street. Due to the complexity and constraints of this

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation – December 2012 79

improvement (impacts on existing stone walls, adjacent property, and trees) it was determined that the assessment of these options be postponed.

No-Build conditions

In the No-Build scenario (that is, without the Development Plan projects), the intersections with poor LOS performance in 2011 will continue to perform poorly in 2015. In addition, the background traffic growth will make some other intersections perform poorly. In particular, the following intersections will deteriorate substantially: • The intersection of US 15-501 at Sage Road is currently operating at LOS D during the PM peak hour but is expected to operate at LOS E during the PM peak hour in the No-Build (2015) scenario.

• The intersection of US 15-501 at Eastowne Drive/Lakeview Drive is currently operating at LOS D during the PM peak hour but is expected to operate at LOS E during the PM peak hour in the No-Build (2015) scenario.

Build conditions

Although the Development Plan has minimized the increase in parking, there will be traffic increases at some intersections. Under the Build conditions (that is, with the Development Plan projects), two intersections are expected to degrade further: • The intersection of Columbia Street and Purefoy Road deteriorates to an overall LOS F in the AM and PM peak periods for the Build (2015) scenario.

• The intersection of Manning Drive at Fordham Boulevard currently operates at LOS F during P.M. peak hour. This intersection is expected to continue to operate at LOS F in both peak hours under the No-Build and Build conditions.

• The intersection of US 15-501 at Sage Road is expected to operate at LOS D during the AM peak hour in the No-Build scenario but is expected to operate at LOS E in the Build (2015) scenario.

• The intersections of US 15-501 at Willow Drive and at Ephesus Church Road degrade from a LOS D during the PM peak period in the No-Build scenario to LOS E in the Build scenario.

3: Development Plan Transportation Mitigation Measures and Recommendations

Overview of Mitigation Strategies and Measures

As the No-Build scenario showed, geometric improvements could be considered at several intersections even without the Development Plan. The list below describes the intersection improvements that have been approved and/or stipulated by the Town of Chapel Hill. Some of these have already been implemented. • Columbia Street / South Road / McCauley Street: Improvements at this intersection are complete. The improvements included remodeling to improve pedestrian safety, as well as an exclusive left-turn lane on the McCauley Street approach that was accomplished through pavement marking changes without widening the road. • South Road / Country Club Road: Improvements have already been made here without widening the road. A northbound right-turn lane has been added, and the southbound shared through-right lane has been converted to a shared left- through-right lane. In addition, realignment of the Ridge Road / County Club Road intersection, to give priority to Ridge Road, has been recommended as a long term option. • Cameron Avenue / Raleigh Street: Signal phasing changes have been implemented to improve traffic flow. As discussed earlier, the Town has indicated the possibility of revisiting this intersection and considering the implementation of an exclusive westbound right-turn lane on Country Club Road. • Country Club Road / Battle Lane / Boundary Street: Bollards and chains have been strategically provided to control pedestrians in and around this intersection, and a stamped asphalt pedestrian crossing was installed. If the Town and University determine that other improvements are necessary, the University will coordinate with the Town to design and implement the agreed upon improvements. • Country Club Road / Gimghoul Road / Paul Green Theater Drive: A traffic signal including pedestrian countdown heads has been provided. • Manning Drive / Skipper Bowles Drive: Based on peak period counts and the accident history at this location, turn restrictions have been implemented to prevent eastbound left-turns from Skipper Bowles Drive onto northbound Manning Drive during special events. Recent changes in the parking allocation of the Development Plan indicated the potential for an increase in the number of parking spaces accessible via Skipper Bowles Drive. It was noted in past Annual Reports that the University would collect additional traffic volume data at this intersection to perform a more thorough analysis to determine if applicable warrants for the installation of a traffic signal are met. The proposed changes to the parking allocation, while still included in the Development Plan, have not been constructed therefore the additional signal warrant analysis has not been performed. • South Columbia Street, between Manning Drive and South Road: The cross- section of this portion of South Columbia Street has been altered as stipulated to remove a vehicular travel lane and to add an exclusive bike lane and an exclusive bus lane. Construction of the accompanying streetscape features north of the midblock crossing is complete and the construction work on the southern

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation – December 2012 82

section is scheduled to be complete in 2013. A new pedestrian activated traffic signal at the intersection of South Columbia Street and Medical Drive was also constructed as part of the streetscaping project. • Manning Drive / Fordham Boulevard: Stipulated improvements for this intersection have been completed. The University provided funding for the stipulated street lighting. The University also prepared traffic signal upgrade plans in coordination with the Town and NCDOT for the stipulated traffic signal upgrades at this intersection to improve pedestrian safety. The Town of Chapel Hill utilized contractor services to complete the intersection upgrades. • Manning Drive / Old Mason Farm Road: Stipulated improvements for this intersection have been completed. The University has provided funding for the stipulated street lighting. The University also prepared traffic signal upgrade plans in coordination with the Town and NCDOT for the stipulated traffic signal upgrades at this intersection to improve pedestrian safety. The Town of Chapel Hill utilized contractor services to complete the intersection upgrades. • Mason Farm Road / East Drive: A stipulated traffic signal for this intersection has been constructed. The University prepared the necessary traffic signal plans and provided those plans to the Town of Chapel Hill. The Town utilized contractor services to construct the new traffic signal. • Mason Farm Road / West Drive: Signal plans were approved by the Town of Chapel Hill; however, the plans required revision to incorporate a geometric roadway changes due to an adjacent building project. A temporary traffic signal has been constructed at this intersection due to the impacts of the adjacent building construction. The plans for the final signal installation, which includes metal poles with mastarms, will be constructed following the completion of the construction of the adjacent building. • Ridge Road: Resurfacing has been stipulated along the length of the road. Other safety improvements have already been made near the Rams Head Center and other pedestrian safety enhancements have been constructed adjacent to Boshamer Stadium and were completed in 2010.

• Manning Drive / Ridge Road: Although traffic delays are not an egregious problem here, there are speed and appearance issues. Measures to reduce and calm traffic and to enhance pedestrian safety should be studied. Measures to encourage pedestrians to cross at the intersection have been implemented.

Impacts to Date and Target Mode Splits

Table 3.1 shows the proportions of employees and students traveling to campus by each mode of transportation (‘mode splits’) in 2001, 2004, 2007, 2009, and 2011 plus the current targets for 2015. The latest commuter survey was carried out in Spring 2011. In 2001, the University was already performing well, with 28% of employees and 67% of students using alternative modes to reach the campus. The 2004, 2007, 2009, and 2011 commuter surveys provided a snapshot of progress part-way into the Development Plan, and the 2015 targets have been updated in light of this experience.

As expected, the proportion of both employees and students driving alone has fallen further since 2001, with the exception of an increase in employees driving alone

Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation – December 2012 83

between 2009 and 2011 (likely due to ongoing parking deck construction and the associated loss of surface parking). This general decrease in employees and students driving alone is because (a) construction to date has resulted in a net loss of over 1,000 employee spaces, (b) the employee and student populations have increased, and (c) the University has invested heavily in improvements to alternative modes. Park-and-ride has been particularly popular for employees, and Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) has been particularly popular for students. This is a successful result of investment in extensive park-and-ride lots with frequent shuttle services, and in fare-free transit and other service enhancements.

It appears that some employees living in Chapel Hill and Carrboro are choosing to drive to a park-and-ride lot rather than walk to a local CHT stop, in order to take advantage of the more frequent transit service. Also, geocoding data show that University employees are living further away from campus than in previous years, increasing the value of park- and-ride compared to CHT.

Estimated Air Q uality Impacts

The strong use of alternative modes, compared to a typical development of this size, also has a benefit for air quality. The emission reductions, compared to a typical development, are estimated to be: • Nitrous Oxides (NOx): 22 kg/day (5,422 kg/year) • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC): 14 kg/day (3,609 kg/year) • Carbon Monoxide (CO): 330 kg/day (82,504 kg/year)

Methodology and data analyzed for estimating air quality impacts are explained in more detail in Section 3.5 of the December 2011 Development Plan TIA report.

Existing and Proposed Traffic Calming Measures On Campus

Figure 3.1 shows the recent traffic calming measures implemented on campus, as well as some potential long term projects. Some of the potential long term measures may include pedestrian and bicycle improvements. Recent improvements include new pedestrian countdown signal heads at several intersections, new sidewalks, and new mid-block pedestrian crossings using a variety of engineering treatments.

Existing and Proposed Traffic Calming Measures in Adjacent Neighborhoods

The Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) guidelines agreed to by the Town of Chapel Hill and the University in 2001 do not require the TIA to analyze traffic calming in adjacent neighborhoods. However, the University maintains an ongoing dialog with the Town about possible impacts and potential mitigation measures. Not only has the University agreed to provide traffic calming measures on campus, but the University has also agreed to provide traffic calming measures on streets in neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the campus. As part of this process, the University worked with the Town’s traffic engineering staff and with neighborhood residents.

Table 3.2 shows the streets that were considered for possible impacts and potential mitigation measures. The measures that were agreed upon have all been implemented as indicated in Table 3.2. The measures were designed and implemented at no cost to the Town. The Town will maintain the traffic calming devices on Town streets.

In 2011 Town staff indicated some neighborhood residents had applied to the Town to consider additional traffic calming to be implemented. The University gathered daily traffic volume and vehicle speed data at three locations on streets where traffic calming measures had been constructed. The data was provided to the Town staff for use in their assessment of the resident’s application. To date, the Town of Chapel Hill has not taken action to modify the traffic calming measures that were designed and constructed by the University.
