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 /> DescriptionAM Peak Hour SUN Peak Hour PM Peak Hour <br /> Land Use Daily <br /> In Out Out Out Total <br /> Multifamily Housing 303 Units 1,376 26 86 112 53 44 97 72 46 118 <br /> Senior Adult Housing— 22 Units 94 2 4 6 3 2 5 4 3 7 <br /> Townhomes <br /> Senior Adult Housing—Multi- 173 Units 561 12 23 35 30 29 59 24 19 43 <br /> Family <br /> Total Trip Generation 1,849 40 113 153 86 75 161 100 68 168 <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 /> EA W.
