CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Presbyterian Homes is proposing a residential development consisting of 303 total Multifamily Housing <br />Units, 173 units of Senior Adult Multifamily Housing building, and 22 Senior Single-family housing units. For <br />a total of 498 housing units on site. The development is located on the block northwest of MN-47 (St Francis <br />Blvd) & CSAH 5 (Nowthen Blvd) which is the area around the Lord of Life Church. The church will remain <br />on site. The site is anticipated to generate 153 new trips during the AM peak hour (40 entering, 113 exiting), <br />168 new trips during the PM peak hour (100 entering, 68 exiting), and 161 new trips in the Sunday peak <br />hour (86 entering, 75 exiting). <br />The site will include three (3) accesses. The northern access will be via Cobalt St to the north. The north <br />access along CSAH 5 which leads to the north of the parking lot for the residential and church. The third <br />access is across from Iodine St on CSAH 5, this access is expected to be the busiest of the three. The two <br />accesses on CSAH 5 are in the same locations as the existing accesses and the Cobalt St access would <br />be an extension of the current dead-end road. <br />A capacity analysis was performed for Existing Year (2023), Opening Year (2027) No -Build, Opening Year <br />(2027) Build, Horizon Year (2040) No -Build, and Horizon Year (2040) Build. In all scenarios, the study <br />intersections are anticipated to operate at LOS D or better in the weekday AM and PM peak hours as well <br />as the Sunday peak hours. Analysis showed that the build conditions have minimal impacts on the LOS at <br />the study area intersections. It is anticipated that all intersections will operate at acceptable LOS in the build <br />conditions. There are some longer delays (LOS E/F) for minor side street movements at intersections along <br />CSAH 5, however there is minimal queuing and anticipated delays are not uncommon on a higher volume <br />corridor like CSAH 5. <br />No changes to the road geometry are necessary based on the operational analysis results with the addition <br />of development traffic. Side -street stop control is adequate at the site accesses. <br />APPENDIX <br />A. Exhibits <br />B. Turning Movement Counts <br />C. Site Layout Exhibit <br />D.
