We have reviewed the document with highway and park staff. Our <br />comments are as follows: <br /> <br />The project developer and city should follow the guidelines of tho Anoka County <br />Highway Department Development Review Process Manual, dated December <br />2003. The manual can be found online at, www.co.anoka.mn.us under the <br />Highway Department's link. <br /> <br />Our Traffic Engineering Manager, Jane Rose will addre~;s further comments on <br />the preliminary plat in another letter. <br /> <br />We would request the City use the Metropolitan Council's Traffic Model, or the <br />County Traffic Model (based on the Metro Council Model) to project future <br />traffic. With the trends occurring in the region we question the trip generatimt <br />numbers provided in the EAW. <br /> <br />As an example, the Metro Council's Travel Behavior Inventory numbers for <br />Anoka County show an average of 12.3 trips per single-family home are <br />generated from homes in our area. We have found these numbers to be a better <br />representation of the trends occurring in the area. <br /> <br />Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
