No site for such use may have more than one (1) direct vehicle access way to Routes 28 or 151 or more than two (2) direct vehicle accesses to any other abutting street not created as part of the commercial center, and such access ways shall intersect the abutting street at a ninety (90) degree angle, unless the Planning Board approves a different intersection angle. Additional access ways may be approved by the Planning Board, where they are found to be necessary for reasons of safety or proper traffic flow. Where the commercial center will be subdivided into multiple lots, there shall be no separate vehicle access from any individual lot within the development onto Route 28, Route 151 or Great Neck Road North. i A traffic impact report, indicating projected traffic flows from the project at its buildout, projected traffic flows and levels of service on nearby roadways in 5 years and at buildout of the development, current traffic flows, levels of service and accident records for said roadways, projected capacity, service level and safety problems anticipated in 5 years and at project buildout, proposed mitigation measures and approximate costs in current dollars and other relevant information shall be submitted as part of the application and explained to the Board at a public meeting by a competent professional traffic engineer or transportation planner.
