Please find the following as a conceptual synopsis of the landscaping intent for the above
captioned project:
Along the entire western side of the proposed development, four to six canopy
deciduous trees will be provided with a double row of deciduous or evergreen shrubs.
The trees to be specified shall be installed by balled and burlaped with a minimum
caliper size of 1 1 /2 ". An apparent appropriate mixture of species would be a Trident,
Norway, and /or Red Maple. The shrubbery to be specified shall be installed in
containers at a minimum five gallon size. An apparent appropriate mixture of genus
would be Common Ninebark, Burning Bush Euonymus, Leatherleaf Mahonia or
Viburnum, Spiraea, Mugo Pine, and /or Bayberry.
This will provide an adequate screening effect within two to five years time. The
shrubbery shall be maintained to a maximum height of six feet. The screen
dimension shall exceed the required three foot width and six foot high stipulation as
specified by designated zoning as it related to residential.
C Along the eastern side, a similar arrangement of trees shall occur. However,
shrubbery will be provided in alternating double and single rows of deciduous or
evergreen shrubs. Plants specified shall be installed in containers at a minimum five
gallon size and an apparent appropriate mixture of genus would be Creeping or
Chinese Juniper, Common Boxwood, Cotoneaster and /or Evergreen Euonymus, to S
maintain the three foot height restriction adjacent to public street rights -of -way and
required side yard of a corner lot.
This will also provide an adequate screening effect within two to five years time.
The shrubbery shall be maintained to a maximum height of three feet.
• Along the northwestern corner, at the base of a secure fence for the storm water
management area, a single row of evergreen shrubs will be provided. Plants
specified shall be installed in containers at a minimum five gallon size and an
apparent appropriate genus would be Evergreen Euonymus or Chinese Juniper to
maintain the three foot height restriction in required front yards.
• All other areas disturbed by construction shall be, at a minimum, seeded with an
appropriate seed mixture consistent with the hardiness zone of the development,
fertilized, and watered to maintain soil stabilization and reduce the chance for
erosion.
• All plant material and installation shall meet the American Association of Nurseymen
standards.

Project Description
A Wal -Mart shopping center is proposed on the south side of SR 240 in Greencastle,
Indiana. Site access is proposed at two locations along SR 240. SR 240 is a 2 -lane facility
with shoulders. The posted speed limit on LaPorte Avenue is 55 mph.
The shopping center consists of a WaI -Mart commercial establishment with on -site
parking sufficient to serve its own parking demands. The proposed shopping center also
contains two outlots. Outlots are typically drive -in banks, retail stores, restaurants, or
small offices. The total gross leasable area for the shopping center is 211,200 square
feet. Traffic generated at shopping centers is based on gross leasable area.
Data Collection
Twenty -four hour traffic data was collected for SR 240. The following chart summarizes
existing traffic volumes on SR 240.

Trip Generation
Trip generation data was obtained from Trip Generation e Edition Data from over
650 shopping centers serve as the basis for generating trip volumes for this project. Trip
generation is based on the gross leasable area for the development. The following table
illustrates the composition and square footage for this shopping center.
Wal -Mart Store
183,200
Outlot 1
14,000
Outlot 2
14,000
Total Square Feet
211,200
Based on a shopping center development with 211,200 square feet of gross leasable area,
the following traffic volumes can be expected. Note that shopping centers draw a certain
percentage of traffic from the existing traffic (i.e., "passby" traffic) and therefore not all
trips tabulated below are "new trips ". For this particular shopping center, this percentage
is estimated at 25 %.
Percent Volume
Trips Entering Exiting Entering Exiting
Weekday 11,024 50% 50% 5,512 5,512
PM Peak 1,028 48% 52% 493 535
Trip Distribution
Trip distribution was based on existing traffic volumes. This distribution is illustrated
below. Applying site traffic distribution percentages to site traffic volumes yields the
following overall site traffic volumes projected for peak hour conditions:

Overall site traffic volumes can be furthered distributed to each entrance to predict
exiting and entering turning movements. The net impact of this distribution process is
summarized below. Note that the traffic volumes presented below represent site traffic.

Level of Service Analysis
Main Entrance at SR 240
The net traffic volume at each intersection and entrance to be analyzed is the summation
of existing traffic volumes plus site traffic at that location. Additionally, these volumes
must be adjusted for "pass -by" traffic. Pass -by represents that portion of site traffic
already on the roadway. For this analysis, the percent pass -by is estimated at 25 %. The
following table summarizes traffic volumes at the main entrance and SR 240 for level -of
service analysis:
Southbound Westbound Northbound _Eastbound
R T L R T L R T L R T L
0 207 166 286 29 41
-105 -77
Using the above traffic volumes, the level of service for a signalized entrance is
summarized below (see appendix). The 90% max queue value helps to provide an
estimate of the maximum expected queue length (in feet) for each lane:
The level of service analysis assumed the presence of auxiliary lanes satisfying current
INDOT criteria. For this entrance, left and right turn lanes are required for both SR 240
and the shopping center driveway.
