PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Revised Site Plan -- Journey Church, 1600 Wilson Pike

Thomas & Hutton Engineering requests approval of a revised site plan that proposes the addition of 7,106 square feet to the existing church building. With the addition, the building will include a total area of 15,380 square feet. The proposal would increase classroom and internal office space. No seats are being added to the sanctuary. Buildout is anticipated for 2020.

The parking lot will also be reconfigured adding 51 parking spaces. The total number of spaces provided will be 192. The parking at the rear of the site and adjacent to the CSX right-of-way will be approximately 7 feet from the property line. This matches the buffer encroachment included as part of the original site plan and approved by the Planning Commission at their August, 2000 meeting.

Two new access drives to Wilson Pike are also being proposed. One located north and one south of the existing drive.

A Traffic Impact Study was included as part of the submittal.

The TIS reviewed the need for auxiliary turn lanes at both proposed driveways: The study found that right-turn lanes are not required at either driveway.
The TIS concluded that there is a lack of justification for providing separate left and right turn lanes at the new driveway locations.
The TIS also determined that only the north access driveway warranted consideration for a southbound exclusive left-turn lane on Wilson Pike.
Finally, the TIS presented support and explanation for providing a new southbound left-turn lane at the existing signalized intersection of Wilson Pike and Moores Lane in lieu of a southbound left-turn lane at the new north site access.

Neel Shaffer TIS Review:

Recommend that the new north driveway be aligned with the existing private residential driveway on the west side of Wilson Pike (1575 Wilson Pk.).
Recommend that the existing traffic signal timings and signal controller settings be optimized and adjusted as part of the project.
Agree with applicants TIS that a southbound left turn lane should be installed at the existing signalized intersection. With this improvement, the need for a separate left-turn lane at the new northern access has less significance.
Recommend that the northern access driveway function and be constructed as a right-in/right-out driveway, controlled with a raised concrete island that would prevent entering and exiting left-turn movements, “Do Not Enter” signs appropriately installed advising southbound drivers that left-turns into the driveway are prohibited and optionally install post-mounted “Left-Turn Prohibited” The storage shed approved in February 2017 will be removed from the property as part opf the improvements
