TRAFFIC & PARKING IMPACT LETTER - DRAFT <br />ANOKA RAMSEY ATHLETI C ASSOCIATION DOME <br />PARKING ANALYSIS <br />Reviewing the proposed use of sports dome, an analysis was completed based on the courts and fields within <br />the facility. The dome is proposed to hold one and half (1.5) multi -purpose fields and eight (8) courts that can be <br />used for high school or youth sports. It is common that youth practices are earlier in the evening and high school <br />level sports later in the evening. The site plan in Appendix A has 135 parking stalls. <br />YOUTH SPORTS <br />For youth sports it is assumed that guardians will drop-off and pick-up their players within a varying time before <br />and after scheduled practice times. Primary parking needs for youth sports would be for the coaches. To support <br />this assumption, seating for viewing is limited within the facility. The multi -purpose field can support three (3) <br />youth size fields and eight (8) courts, the maximum and average use of the facility was analyzed. Tables 7 and <br />8 list the maximum and average use of the space for youth sports. <br />Total No. of Youth <br />No. of Players <br />per <br />No. of <br />Coaches <br />Total No. of Users <br />Percentage of <br />No. of Vehicles <br />Courts <br />Court <br />per <br />Court <br />per Courts <br />Users Parking <br />Parking <br />Total No. of Youth <br />No. of Players <br />per <br />No. of <br />Coaches <br />Total No. of Users <br />Percentage of <br />No. of Vehicles <br />Fields <br />Field <br />per <br />Field <br />per Fields <br />Users Parking <br />Parking <br />Maximum <br />No. of Parking <br />Stalls <br />Utilized <br />During Practice for Youth <br />Level Sports Only <br />Table 7. Maximum parking needs of ARAA for youth sports. <br />Table 8: Average parking needs of ARAA for youth sports. <br />The parking needs for youth sports at maximum capacity is around 19% of the total parking provided. It is likely <br />that within the practice time for youth rated sports the pick-up / drop-off will be utilized more than the general <br />parking lot. Queuing may be experienced within the parking lot at the beginning and end of practice times but <br />will likely be cleared with minimum impact to the surrounding roadway network. Note this is assuming that bus <br />shuttles are not being provided for teams. <br />Architecture + Engineering + Environmental + Planning <br />Page 13 <br />
