January 9, 2018 Mr. Francis J. Hanney Senior Manager - Traffic Services Division PennDOT District 6-0 7000 Geerdes Boulevard King of Prussia, PA 19406 RE: Transportation Impact Study Scoping Meeting Application

Darlington Ridge at West Chester (Tigue Property Residential Development) East Bradford Township, Chester County, PA McMahon Project No. 815336.13 Dear Fran: McMahon Associates, Inc. (McMahon) is pleased to submit the following Transportation Impact Study (TIS) Scoping Meeting Application, per the Policies and Procedures for Transportation Impact Studies Related to Highway Occupancy Permits (Appendix A of Publication 282) for the proposed Darlington Ridge at West Chester (Tigue Property Residential Development), to be located on a parcel bound by Lenape Road (S.R. 0052) and Tigue Road in East Bradford Township, Chester County, PA. We request that you review the following information and provide feedback on the proposed scope and methodology. It should be noted that McMahon Associates, Inc. has completed previous studies for this application through the East Bradford Township Conditional Use process, which were reviewed by Gilmore Associates and East Bradford Township. However, due to the age of the traffic counts and requested revisions to the site plan by East Bradford Township, McMahon anticipates performing a new Transportation Impact Assessment.

Mr. Fran Hanney January 9, 2018 Page 3 of 9

(4) TRIP GENERATION

Trip generation for the proposed development will be based on:

X ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition (Land Use Code 220 – Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise))

Other independent surveys

Table 1 indicates trip generation rates utilized in the subsequent analysis.
