The issue of the UmkWof the el al at Holt Read and Route 125 is still a CoAmrn to VHB1
The Applicar►t has noted that the Town is pursuing development at the Airport Industrial
Park float will provide a sill at the Intemaction of Holt P*ad and Route 125. 7be majority
of the analysis provided by the appiicariVs traffic eft ineer aE&umes that the treffie signal
will be in place at this lmdon. VHB agrees that a traffic signal at Igo€t Road and Rome 125
would be benekia -i.f not a requirement to support the fiil3 development of the Airport
Industrial ParL However,given that the industrial Park is not moving forward at tivs time
{or!s moving forward at a slow pac*,there exists the pnsslbility flak the Club might open
prior to the instOladim of tY&traffic sipwl. Ar-dysfs ahould be prepared that highlights the
Impact of tha club upenft prior to the Installation of the signal. This analysis should
Ir4ude an evalua�on of both left turns from Holt Road as well as right turns under fhe
ur*igKea zed analysis.

• Response#5-The unaig n I ixed Malysi&provided shows that the left-tum movernent from
Holt Road onto ROUW 125 will operam at Level of xvkm E during the weekday evnn3ng
peak hours. It does not analyze right t{uro from Holt Road to Route 125 and does not
appear to take into account the"daxzb r 'of the site generated traffic frarn the site.
