TRAFFIC & PARKING IMPACT LETTER - DRAFT <br />ANOKA RAMSEY ATHLETI C ASSOCIATION DOME <br />PROPOSED CONDITIONS <br />Existing background traffic was projected to create a two (2)-year (2024) Opening, (2027) Full Build, and a 10- <br />year (2034) Full Build traffic for the weekday PM peak hour. The method for determining these traffic projections <br />included trip generation and distribution analyses based on estimates from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11tn <br />Edition and existing traffic data. <br />Site Traffic <br />TRIP GENERATION FOR OPENII\ r ?024 <br />The proposed ARAA dome facility is anticipated to start construction in the spring of 2023 with an opening date <br />in 2024. It is expected that by 2024 the facility will be completed and operating at full capacity, conservatively. <br />The additional traffic created as a result of the proposed development will be composed of new trips generally <br />created by the recreational teams they attract. For this study, a trip is defined as a one-way movement between <br />an origin and a destination. The expected number of trips the proposed development will generate was estimated <br />using the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. <br />For the Sports Dome, ITE Code 488 (Soccer Complex) was utilized for the multipurpose field and court facility. <br />The facility will hold one and a half (1.5) high school level fields which can be converted into three (3) fields for <br />youth sports or softball fields. In addition, the dome will hold eight (8) courts that can be used for basketball or <br />volleyball. The facility will be used for practice similar to the already established TCO Dome at Lakeville North or <br />West St. Paul Regional Athletics Center. Other land use codes were evaluated and determined to be unrealistic <br />for the use of this facility or had an insufficient amount of data. Additional discussion on evaluation can be <br />provided upon request. <br />2024 OPENING I TRIP GENERATION SUMMARY <br /># of # of New Trips # of New <br />Generated <br />Entering Trips Exiting <br />Trips <br />Weekday AM (AM Peak Hour of Generator) 9 5 4 <br />Weekday PM (PM Peak Hour of Generator) 85 40 45 <br />Table 4 Trip Generation of the Proposed Facility in 2024 Opening Condition. <br />The anticipated Trip Generation is summarized in Table 4. Peak facility activity is expected to be from November <br />1st through April 30th. The facility's peak hour is typically during the 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM timeframe on weekdays. <br />This is supported based on rental rates of similar facilities. In general, the facility's peaking hour will not be <br />during standard peaking hours of the surrounding roadway network. For the purpose of this study, the PM peak <br />hour of the proposed facility is modeled to occur during the adjacent network's PM peak hour. <br />Architecture + Engineering + Environmental + Planning <br />Page 8 <br />
