For the sake of making a high -end estimate regarding the site's generated traffic, it was <br />advised that the number of units should be estimated 10% higher than the current design <br />includes. <br />Parking <br />The proposed project is anticipated to include approximately 619 new parking stalls for the <br />residential developments and the existing church parking is unchanged. <br />Traffic Generation <br />It is estimated that the development will generate 153 new trips during the AM peak hour <br />(40 entering, 113 exiting), 168 new trips during the PM peak hour (100 entering, 68 exiting), <br />161 new trips in the Sunday peak hour (86 entering, 75 exiting), and 1,849 daily trips. Trip <br />generation estimates were based on Land Use Code (LUC) 221 (Multifamily Housing), ITE LUC <br />251 (Senior Adult Housing — Single -Family), and ITE LUC 252 (Senior Adult Housing — Multi - <br />Family) in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11t" Edition. <br />Table 7: Trip Generation Forecast <br />Land Use Description <br />Intensity <br />Daily <br />AM <br />Peak Hour <br />SUN <br />Peak Hour <br />PM <br />Peak Hour <br />In <br />Out <br />Total <br />In <br />Out <br />Total <br />In <br />Out <br />Total <br />Multifamily Housing <br />303 Units <br />1,376 <br />26 <br />86 <br />112 <br />53 <br />44 <br />97 <br />72 <br />46 <br />118 <br />Senior Adult Housing — <br />22 Units <br />94 <br />2 <br />4 <br />6 <br />3 <br />2 <br />5 <br />4 <br />3 <br />7 <br />Townhomes <br />Senior Adult Housing — Multi- <br />173 Units <br />561 <br />12 <br />23 <br />35 <br />30 <br />29 <br />59 <br />24 <br />19 <br />43 <br />Family <br />Total Trip Generation <br />1,849 <br />40 <br />113 <br />153 <br />86 <br />75 <br />161 <br />100 <br />68 <br />168 <br />Pedestrians and Bicycles <br />There are existing pedestrian facilities/trails on both sides of Sunwood Dr, Dysprosium Rd <br />and County Road 5. MN Highway 47 has a pedestrian/bicycle path on its east side only. <br />There are marked crosswalks at all intersections that the pedestrian paths cross, as well as <br />push -buttons at both of the stoplight controlled intersections. Internal walkways will connect <br />buildings to each other; connections will be made with the existing trails along County Road <br />5. <br />Transit Service <br />There are no transit routes within a mile of the proposed site. <br />a. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic <br />improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project's impact on the regional <br />transportation system. If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the <br />total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the <br />EAW. Use the format and procedures described in the Minnesota Department of <br />Haviland Fields EAW 28 September 2023 <br />
