Re: Schoedinger Funeral and Cremation Services – Hoover Road Site City of Grove City, Franklin County, Ohio

Dear Jennifer:

Please consider this letter a response to a request for trip generation for the subject site

BACKGROUNDThe subject site is proposed to be developed with a 13,040 SF funeral home. The owner reported that their highest weekend operations typically occur between 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM on Saturday. Services occur in the morning because cemeteries close around midday on Saturday. A secondary potential peak would be 2-5 PM on Sunday afternoons for viewings. It is also our understanding that other than a few employees, there is no activity on weekdays before 10 AM so the AM Peak is not considered in the analysis. Therefore, the calculations include weekend peaks in addition to the PM Peak hour of the adjacent street (4-6 PM).

TRIPGENERATIONFORFUNERALHOMEThe proposed land use is not specifically represented in the Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition published by ITE. For a traffic study of another site, traffic counts were taken at an existing Schoedinger Funeral and Cremation Services located at 6699 North High Street, Worthington, Ohio so the those trips could be the basis of projected trip rates. Because the activity at a funeral home is variable through the week, counts were taken for nine days from February 10, 2018 to February 18, 2018. The hours of 4:00-6:00 PM were counted on weekdays, 9:30 AM-1:30 PM on Saturdays and 2:00-5:00 PM on Sundays. This provided a sample of five weekdays and four weekend days. The highest traffic generating activities at funeral homes are typically visitations and services. During the duration of the counts, there were four visitations and/or services. The following is a summary of these activities based on information from Schoedinger Funeral and Cremation Services:

●Saturday, February 10, 2018 12-2 PM - Visitation/Service●Monday, February 12, 2018 11 AM-1 PM - Visitation/Service●Friday, February 16, 2018 4-7 PM – Visitation●Sunday, February 18, 2018 1-3 PM - Visitation/Service**=200+: this size averages twice a month occurrence.

The goal was to find some peaks as representative of funeral home trip generation. The peaks in
