This is a July 25, 2022 traffic impact study by Traffic Concepts, Inc. for the proposed Carter Farm Traditional Neighborhood Development in Centreville (prepared for Green Development, Inc.). The project includes 80 single‑family units, 46 townhouse/multi‑family units, and commercial buildings (2,800 sf restaurant, 2,120 sf office, 8,700 sf retail) with two full‑movement access points on MD 304 and a third commercial parking access. Traffic counts were taken June 1, 2022 (schools in session) and peak periods analyzed were weekday 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM using MDOT SHA Critical Lane Volume (CLV) methodology; site‑generated AM/PM peak trips are tabulated for residential and commercial uses and the study assumed no internal capture (worst‑case). The study projects totals to 2027 (including a 2% compounded growth allowance and background development) and concludes that all key intersections will operate at LOS A at full build‑out; MDOT SHA access permitting for the MD 304 site access will be required and the report recommends approval from a traffic level‑of‑service standpoint.

Therefore, a traffic impact study is required by the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA). This traffic impact study follows the methodology outlined in the Queen Anne's County Traffic Impact Study Guidelines. Proposed Project: The project is a TND that consists of 80 single family units, 46 townhouse units and a small commercial component. The commercial development will include a restaurant (2,800 s.f), a small office (2,120 s.f.), and a retail building(s) (8,700 s.f.). Scope of Services & Methodology: The key intersections listed below define the study area. The intersection counts were conducted at the key intersections when schools were in session. MD 213 (Church Hill RD) @ Spaniard Neck RD/Wexford Dr Commerce Street @ Broadway MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Broadway N.Liberty Street @ Broadway MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Draper Lane N.Liberty Street @ Water Street MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Watson Road Commerce Street @ Water Street MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Proposed Site Accesses Analysis Methodology: The key intersections were analyzed with the MDOT SHA Critical Lane Volume (CLV) methodology, which is also required by the Queen Anne’s County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance. The CLV methodology uses the through traffic volume and the opposing left turn volume to calculate the intersection critical lane volume. The CLV methodology states 1600 vehicles per hour (vph) is the maximum critical lane capacity of an intersection. The CLV volume or critical trips are associated with a level of service (LOS) scale of “A” through “F” to measures the operation of an intersection. An “A” LOS represent free-flow conditions and an “F” LOS means undue delay at an intersection. An intersection rated as “E” or “F” is considered to have inadequate operations. Critical Lane Volume LOS 0-999 A 1000-1149 B 1150-1299 C 1300-1450 D 1451-1600 E >1600 F The traffic study is comprised of an Existing, Background, and Future traffic condition. The key intersections are analyzed under each traffic condition, which is explained with the following formula: Total Future Traffic = (Existing Condition – current intersection turning movement volumes + Background Condition - 2 % Growth Rate compounder over 5 years + pipeline development traffic + Future Condition - site generated traffic) ii New Site Generated (Peak Hour) Trips: The new site generated peak hour trips listed below were generated with land use data contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition.

Internal capture trips are a portion of the new site generated peak hour trips that both begin and end within the development site and do not use the external road system. For example, an internal site trip, is a trip generated by the proposed residential development and ends at the proposed commercial development. However, in order to create a worst-case traffic scenario, the traffic study assumes all new trips use the external road system to access the proposed commercial development. 2. If internal capture trips were included in the analysis, the commercial retail and restaurant trips entering and exiting from the site would be reduced. Additionally, the peak hours of the commercial retail and restaurant uses do not align with the morning school drop-off or the afternoon school pick-up time periods. Thus, the impact of the proposed commercial development during the school drop-off and pick-up time periods is minimal. CONCLUSION At the total future build-out condition (2027), the CLV analyses determined that all key intersections would continue to operate at overall acceptable levels of service “A” (free-flow) condition. The MDOT SHA will require an access permit for the proposed site access at MD 304. Based on the traffic study results, we recommend that this development be approved from a traffic level of service standpoint. iii INTRODUCTION Traffic Concepts, Inc. has prepared a traffic impact study to analyze the peak hour vehicle impact generated by the proposed Carter Farm TND. The site is located within the Town of Centreville along the east side MD 304 (Water Street), and south of Watson Road. See Exhibit 1. Project Description & Access The development will create 46 residential multi-family/townhouse units and 80 residential single-family units. The site plan also shows various commercial uses including a small office building (2,120 sf), a restaurant (2.800 sf) and retail space (8,700 sf combined retail). A public access road will be constructed through the property that will intersect MD 304, creating two full-movement site access points. The site will also have a third full-movement access to a parking area that would serve the commercial component. Scope of Services The scope of services for this study was developed by the Town of Centreville, with input from the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA). This letter is included in Appendix III along with the site plan. The key intersections are listed below. MD 213 (Church Hill Road) @ Spaniard Neck Road/Wexford Drive N. Liberty Street @ Broadway N. Liberty Street @ Water Street Commerce Street @ Water Street Commerce Street @ Broadway MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Broadway MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Draper Lane MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Watson Road MD 304 (Chesterfield Avenue) @ Proposed Site Accesses 1 Study Methodology The key intersections were analyzed during the weekday morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM) peak hours. The key intersections were analyzed using the Critical Lane Volume (CLV). The study was conducted in three traffic conditions that include the existing, background, and future intersection turning movement volumes. The future site generated trips were determined with data contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers', Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition (ITE Manual). The total future traffic volumes are described with the following formula: Total Future Traffic = (Existing Traffic + Growth in Existing Traffic + Approved Development Traffic + Site Generated Traffic) 2 3 EXISTING CONDITION The existing traffic condition establishes the baseline intersection levels of service at the key intersections. The intersection turning movement counts were conducted on June 1, 2022, while schools were in session. The key intersection lane configurations are shown on Exhibit 2 and the peak hour counts are shown on Exhibit 3. The existing intersection counts are included in Appendix III. 4 5 6 BACKGROUND CONDITION The background condition evaluates the key intersections using the existing intersection volumes, a projected growth rate, and peak hour trips generated by background or “pipeline” development projects. Regional Growth Rates The standard County 2.0 percent growth rate was applied to the existing traffic volumes and was compounded over the 5-year project build-out period. The resulting base (2027) traffic volumes are shown on Exhibit 4. Background Developments Background developments are defined as any project that has received preliminary plan approval and construction has not started or the project is fully approved but only partially constructed. Planning and Public Works officials from the Town and County determined that one background development (YMCA) could have a vehicle impact on the study intersections. It should be noted that there is an existing YMCA (located at 123 Coursevall Drive) that is being expanded and relocated. However, to be conservative, all new trips are generated for the new location. The existing and new YMCA locations are shown on Exhibit 5. We have consulted the Institute of Transportation Engineers', Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition to determine the following trip generation rates for this project. Recreational Community Center (LUC 495) AM Average Rate: 1.91 (66% IN; 34% OUT) PM Average Rate: 2.50 (47% IN; 53% OUT) AM PM IN OUT IN OUT 1. YMCA 65.0 ksf* 82 42 76 87 The YMCA trips shown on Exhibit 6 were distributed and assigned to the road network based on the existing traffic pattern and our knowledge of the study area. We then combined the base traffic volumes (2027) with the background traffic volumes to arrive at the total background traffic volumes (Exhibit 7). 7 8 9 10 11 FUTURE CONDITION The future traffic analysis determines the peak hour vehicle trips generated by the proposed development and the impacts created at the key intersections. We have consulted the Institute of Transportation Engineers', Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition to determine trip generation rates for the residential and commercial uses shown on the site plan, with the following results.

Exhibit 8 shows the residential trips and Exhibit 9 shows the commercial trips. By adding the site- generated trips to total background traffic volumes, we obtain the total future traffic volumes. (See Exhibit 10.) 12 13 14 15 INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS The key intersections were analyzed during the existing, background, and future traffic conditions using the Critical Lane Volume (CLV) methodology. The results are listed in the following table and the detailed calculations are included in Appendix I.

Traffic Impact Studies • Feasibility • Traffic Signal Design • Traffic Counts •Expert Testimony May 17, 2022 Mr. Charles “Chip” Koogle Town Manager Town of Centreville 101 Lawyer’s Road Centreville, MD 21617 RE: Town of Centreville MD 304 - Carter Farm T/C 3027 Dear Mr. Koogle: The Carter Farm TND project developer is proposing a plan that will create 80 single-family units, 46 townhouse/multifamily units, and various commercial uses. The commercial component of the project would include a small office building, restaurants, and a retail building. This is a revision to a plan that was introduced several years ago, which proposed 227 residential units including the existing Carter farmhouse. As you are aware, Traffic Concepts, Inc. conducted a Traffic Impact Study dated April 2014 for an earlier version of the Carter Farm plan. The study examined the following intersections. For this new proposed project, we are proposing to study the same intersections. Therefore, we are requesting your concurrence to study the intersections listed below that define the study area. • MD 213 (Church Hill Road) @ Spaniard Neck Road/Wexford Drive • N. Liberty Street @ Broadway • N.
