Final Review of Traffic Impact Analysis
Kimley-Horn has reviewed the traffic impact analysis (revised January 26, 2022) prepared by Engineering
Design & Construction, Inc. related to the above-mentioned project. The project owner is proposing a 45,900
square foot expansion to the existing facility, which will include up to 10 additional employees. The existing
site is generally located on the east side of Kings Highway/SR 713, south of St. Lucie Boulevard in St. Lucie
County.
The trip generation resulting from an additional 10 employees will produce an additional 25 daily trips, 4 AM
peak hour trips (3 entering / 1 exiting) and 4 PM peak hour trips (2 entering / 2 exiting). The analysis
demonstrates that the study area roadways and project driveway will operate acceptably upon project
buildout.
Based upon information provided by the applicant, a southbound left turn lane at the project driveway is
expected to be constructed as part of the Kings Highway/SR 713 widening project from north of Commercial
Circle to north of St. Lucie Boulevard (FDOT Item Number 438379-2). The southbound left turn lane is
expected to be constructed by buildout of the proposed expansion. We have no further comments for the
applicant at this time.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist St. Lucie County in reviewing this project. Please contact us if you
have any questions or need additional information.
