Overall LOS/Worst Side Street LOS Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service which indicates the quality of traffic flow through an intersection. The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle. The existing roads and intersections providing access to the development have structural capacity to accommodate the projected traffic from the proposed subdivision. The proposed Levels of Service do not degrade by more than one (1) LOS; therefore the subdivision is not considered premature. The Anoka County Highway Department letter dated March 14, 2016 provides the following comments: 1. No additional right of way is required along CSAH 34. 2. The development proposes no new access points onto CSAH 34 which is consistent with the 2011 Corridor Plan. Staff has received calls from existing residents along Hokah Drive and Sioux Lane expressing concerns regarding current speeding issues, the development’s lack of access to Birch Street and a the general increase in traffic. The Police Department has not received any formal complaints from residents regarding speeding on Sioux Lane or
