Commission questions waiver of traffic study for 63‑home Green Meadow plan
Summary
Developer sought to forego a traffic‑impact study, citing low trip generation; township staff and several commissioners said the ordinance allows inclusion of intersections within a half‑mile and recommended scoping the study with traffic staff rather than waiving.
The applicant asked the commission to forego a formal traffic‑impact study for Estates at Green Meadow, arguing AM/PM trip generation is modest and the site will not require turn lanes or signals. The developer said peak hour trips would be small and that existing levels of service should remain adequate.
Township staff and multiple commissioners pushed back: the zoning ordinance says a TIS "may" be required for developments over 50 units and allows intersections within a 0.5‑mile radius to be included. One staff member said their office "will not support no traffic study," and commissioners asked staff to work with the developer to scope an appropriate, limited study focusing on key intersections such as Green Meadow/Airport Road and Driftwood.
