SITE TRIP DISTRIBUTION The site trips were distributed to the adjacent roadways based on the current traffic patterns in the area and a general assessment of the major regional roadways surrounding the study area. In general, the following global trip distribution was assumed for the development: • 70% to/from the south on MN-47 • 15% to/from the north on MN-47 • 10% to/from the north on CSAH 5 • 5% to/from the south on Dysprosium Road NW The trip distribution for the primary site -generated traffic is shown in Exhibit 5. SITE ACCESSES AND ASSIGNMENT The site will include three (3) accesses. The northern access will be via Cobalt St to the north. The Cobalt St access is expected to only be used by vehicles destined to/from the north. The north access along CSAH 5 which leads to the north of the parking lot for the residential and church. All of the residential parking garages would be located closer to the access further to the south on CSAH 5, it is expected that most of the traffic to this access would come from the north along CSAH 5, with only a small percentage of the traffic originating from MN-47 choosing this access. The third access is across from Iodine St on CSAH 5, this access is expected to be the busiest of the three. The two accesses on CSAH 5 are in the same locations as the existing accesses and the Cobalt St access would be an extension of the current dead end road.
