Mn/DOT's staffhas reviewed the document and has the following comments. <br /> <br />Traffic <br />· Section 21-Traffic states that the estimated total average daily traffic would be 300 trips. <br /> This estimate of trips is low. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip <br /> Generation 7a' Addition the number of trips for a 162 single family housing development <br /> would be 1,550 thps. The trip rate per dwelling is 9.57. In addition, the traffic section does <br /> not address impacts to the regional transportation system. The EAW should include a <br /> statement that this development will add traffic to the regional system in the area, which <br /> includes TH 47 mid TH 10, Highway 47 is a preservation corridor and thus is not identified <br /> for any expansion. Highway 10 is an Interregional Corridor and is identified to be upgraded <br /> to a freeway, however; there curreutly is no funding for'construction m MraTlOT's 20 year <br /> Transportation System Plan. If you have any questions regarding these comments please <br /> contact Beth Neuendorf, Mn/DOT Area Engineer, at (651) 582-I !579. <br /> <br />Drainage <br />· Additional information should be submitted to determine whether a Mn/DOT Drainage <br /> permit would be required. The EAW does not address how much added impervious surface <br /> will be created or where the run-offstromwater will-lee directed. Please supply existing and <br /> proposed grading plans and drainage maps that show flow arrows verifying that all existing <br /> drainage patterns and systems affecting Mn/DOT right of way will be pexpctu~.ted. Also, <br /> existing and proposed computations for thc 10 year and 100 year design storms should be <br /> provided. The proposed development will need to maintain existing drainage rates to <br /> Mn/DOT right of way (i.e., the rate at which storm water is discharged from the site must not <br /> increase). Please direct questions concerning these issues to Richard Cady (651) 634-2075'of <br /> Mr~DOT's Water Resources section. <br /> <br />State Aid Route <br /> As a reminder, Armstrong Boulevard is County State Aid Route 83. Any work on a CSAH <br /> route must meet State Aid rules and policies. Also, Anoka Count3' must review any changes <br /> <br />An eaual oDnortunitv ernDIover <br /> <br /> <br />
