Concluding points
• Council assumed NCDOT would widen Homestead starting in FY05
• NCDOT has not widened and the 2006-12 TIP draft lists Homestead as a “post years” project
• Only work has been a NC Moving Ahead! paving that added to the shoulder

Concluding points
• Planning staff memo for 5/14/01 public hearing said TIA submitted to that point was incomplete
• “We believe that applicant’s Traffic Impact Analysis does not thoroughly address all potential future traffic scenarios for this development.”
• Manager’s recommendation thus assumed worst-case impact
