The nrutlnrnr"s assumption (based on as recent study) of44 er°eernt pass,-by trips for this development is not consistent with the 2,5 percent estirnnate of previous studies for similar de elruprnnernts across the street However, neither estiunnate is unreasonable 1TE's Tripe Generation manual points out that "'Tine p'rofessi rna] conimunity should continue to use the results efthe analyses, ef"pass-by trip percentages, ternnlnered with engineering juud innernt until mere diata,are attained and the methodology produces results with higher correlation to, the actual events.."'

The site iraffle distribution figures in the report appear consistent, with reasonable assumptions about traffic assignment to each site drive. However, turning movement volumes for the 1998 PM peak.Hour are partially based on numbers from the "1998 Evening Build Peale Y-four" traffic volumes in the Ono Drag stkzdy - v.hich has since been revised, The Crossruads turning movenient volumes should be based on the revised numbers from [lie Osco Drug study, which reflects vehicle trips for two area subdivision proposals. The intersection capacity and level ofserv3ce analyses also appear consistent with the trip genwratIon figures used, but these would have to be re-examined if the shopping enter trip rates are used in any future calculations. 61 WILLIAM F.WEED +3OVERN0R TO.

The project will be located on the north side of Route 114 , approximately 500 feet west of the Route 114/Route 125 intersection . , The ENF for this project was published in Thy- Environmental Mrani lor, dated February 7, 1995 . At that time, the project consisted originally 01 10 , 000 square feet of specialty retail space , 5 , 000 square feet of tire store space, 5, 000 square feet of high-turnover sit-down restaurant space, 2 , 000 square feet of fast food restaurant space, and 2 , 000 square feet of convenience store space . Because this original project was expected to generate 3 , 982 new vehicle-trips per day, the project was, categorically included for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report SIR) . A NPC (and exten8ion of the ENE comment period) was published subsequently in The 'Environmental Monitor, , 1 dated March 7995 , that indicates the project now con8ists of the replacement of the original 2 , GOO square feet of fast food restaurant space with an equivalent area of specialty retail, space , Therefore, as configured presently in the NPC, the project is expected to generate 2 , 898 new vehicle-trips per day, We believe that the traffic impacts resulting from this project will be limited . Therefore, we recommend that no further MEPA review be required for this project . The resolution of any other traffic-related issues can be handled through the MED access permit proces8 . Massachas Ms Highorvay Departn7ent - Tay Park Pk,? a, Bostor? MA 021150973 - (617) 90-4500 The primary site drive for The Crossroads projec-t is located opposite the site of the proposed Osco Drugs/Boston Chicken project (EOEA #9761) , On February 8, 1994 , the Secretary of Environmental Affairs issued a certificate on the E F that states the preparation of an EIR is not required for that project . ubeeguently, the MHn issued a permit on August 32 , 1994 , for access to Route 114 . A MHD permit has not been issued for access to Route 125, as proposed is that E F, pending a petition to alter- an existing "lac) Access'° line along that .9tate highway frontage of the Site . Although construction has not yet commenced, the Qsco Drugs/Boston Chicken primary site drive on Route 114 is proposed to be located approximately 100 feet west of The Crossroads primary site drive . Because the. offset of these site drives will create unsafe turning movement conflicts, these two proposed site drives Should be aligned to form a four-way intersection. To achieve this intersection alignment , however, the proposed Osco Drugs/Boston Chicken primary site drive must be relocated cite to the fact that The Crossroads primary site drive is situated at the extreme western edge of the property line of that site . Dutring the MRD access pezmit process for The Crossroads project and the Osco Drugs/Boston Chicken project , we intend to work in conjunction with the Town of North Andover to achieve a safe and efficient driveway alignment between these two project sites . e also note that the MHD has awarded a contract for the installation of a traffic signal at the Route 114/Mill Road intersection, approximately 3/4 mi18 east of the site . The signalization of this intersection will help to provide gaps in the traffic stream to allow left-turns into The Crossroads site drives and Hillside Road.

The project consists of the development of a 24 , 000 square foot (sf) retail center on Route 114 in North Andover. As originally described in the Environmental Notification Fora (ENS') , the project was categorically LnQluded for preparation of are Environmental Impact Report (EIR) because it would generate ox'e than 3 , 00.0 new vehicle trips per clay (301 CMR 11. 25 (1-9) ) F and it will require an access permit from the Massac-husetts Highway Departiuent (MHD) . For the purpose of estimating . future traffic generation; the proponent assumed that the tenants would include a tire store, -a- convenience market, a high turnover restaurant, a' fast food restaurant, and retail slaps. Following the site consultation meeting, the proponent submitted a Notice of Project Change that stated that a fast food restaurant would no Ionger be included as a proposed use in the development. That change in the proposed tenant mix recduced the number of vehicle trips per day from 3 ,982 to 2 , 898 . In addition, the geometric layout of one cf the two driveways was reconfigured to restrict vehicle movement to right turns in and vat, in order to reduce potential conflicts with queued vp-hicles in the Median lane of Ratite 114 . f00% RECYCLED PAPER EDEA #1G248 E F Certificate March .31, 1995 The proponent, the MHD, the North Andover Town Planner and the north Andover Planting Board have been working closely to address concerns related to site access and traffic safety. Although some issues remain unresolved at this time, specifically the relationship of the Crossroads site drive -to the proposed Dsco Drug f Boston ChiQken driveway on the ether s ids of Route 114 , the on-going discussions a-mong the relevant parties appear adequate to achieve a safe and efftcient solution to the .driveway alignitent- problem. Based Qh a review of the information provided by the proponent, Qonuients from the public, and consultation with relevant public agencies, I find that the potential impacts of this project do not warrant preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and can be addressed through the permitting process. f March 31, 1995 �l I t.� f { : f.� � • _ f . f DATE uc Coxe, Secretary..

It was agreed upon by all parties that construction activities associated. with your development were the souurcue of this siltation and wetland resource. alteration. This Department has identified you as the responsible party.

North Andover,Conservation Corn mission ACC) junsi'dirtionr does not extend across town limes and as a result, I have forwarded. all correspondence to Mr. Jim Grier, Conservation Agent for Landover.
