The decision of need for a traffic impact study will be at the discretion of the Winfield Planning Commission and/or the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) prior to approval of the subdivision and/or building application. If a traffic impact study is required by either the Winfield Planning Commission or the WVDOH, the owner/developer is responsible for all costs associated with said study. The study should be performed as described in Section 106-1 of the latest published WVDOT Division of Highways Traffic Engineering Directives.
The owner/developer is responsible for all costs associated with any improvements that must be made based on the results of the impact study, including any improvements to Town Streets as determined by the Planning Director in conjunction with or separate from the impact study. At the discretion of the Planning Director, the need for an impact study may be waived if the development is three (3) residential lots or less, or the development has less than seven (7) parking spaces and if the WVDOH agrees to said waiver. A traffic impact study is not required for redevelopment projects that do not increase the amount of traffic, unless required by the WVDOH. Traffic count credits are not allowed.
