. e Mr. Carl Ohm Mr. Jon Olson August 8, 1994 Page 3 3) Year 2015 base network and trip table. The network file contained all E+C roadway improvements to the street system in Anoka County. The roadway improvements were checked for accuracy with staff from Anoka County. The trip table file contained vehicle trips forecast using land use forecasts provided by the Metropolitan Council. Additional Year 2005 and Year 2015 networks were developed for the E+C+P roadway improvements with help from Anoka County and Cities of Andover and Ramsey staff. Expanded MUSA trip tables were developed for the Year 2005 and Year 2015 with input from staff at the Cities of Andover and Ramsey. Planning staff at Andover and Ramsey identified areas outside the current MUSA line where potential future housing developments would occur, and the number of houses that would potentially be built within those areas. The specified geographic areas were converted to the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) level. A fratar model was used to increase vehicle trips from and to those T AZs where additional housing would potentially be constructed within Andover and Ramsey. The increases in vehicle trips were applied to calculate the Year 2005 and Year 2015 Expanded MUSA trip tables. After discussions with Anoka County, Andover and Ramsey staff, it was assumed that by the Year 2005 the expanded MUSA area would be filled with the additional housing units listed below. Therefore, the Year 2005 Expanded MUSA trip table is the full growth scenario (or most conservative) and not a phased development scenario. Vehicle trips in T AZs 27 and 28 within the City of Andover were increased using the above methodology. The increases in the number of households (HH) are as follows: TAZ Base HH MUSA HH 27 28 2,750 2,500 3,886 3,635
