11 <br /> <br />Buffer and screen standards apply along CSAH 54 (20th Avenue), specifically Block 4, Lots 12- <br />15 that have a rear frontage on 20th Avenue. Approximately 475 linear feet of frontage will be <br />screened by shrubs, new trees, and existing trees to provide a continuous planting screen year- <br />round. The Preliminary Landscape Plan shows trees and shrubs planted on two separate berms. <br />It was suggested these berms be combined to provide a continuous berm; however, an opening <br />between the 2 berms is needed to provide rear yard drainage. A triangulated row of coniferous <br />trees will be planted in addition to the berms that will provide appropriate screening. <br /> <br />Boulevard trees are required at the rate of one (1) tree per lot frontage for single family. There <br />are 68 single family lots that require 77 boulevard trees (interior and corner lots). Seventy-nine <br />(79) trees are proposed which is compliant with the ordinance. <br /> <br />Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) <br /> <br />The site is not within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR; therefore, no mitigation is required. <br /> <br />Traffic Study <br /> <br />A Traffic Study was prepared by Spack Solutions on December 6, 2019. The study was based <br />on a concept plan with 74 single family homes. Based on ITE standards and local data collected <br />by Spack Solutions, the development is forecasted to generate approximately 685 new trips per <br />day with 50 new trips in the a.m. peak hours (7-8am) and 65 trips in the p.m. peak hours (4:30- <br />5:30pm). <br /> <br />Traffic impacts are analyzed in terms of volume and capacity. Volume quantifies how many <br />vehicles are using the road and capacity quantifies the number of vehicles the road can <br />accommodate. <br /> <br />Traffic Volumes <br /> <br />Roadway Location <br />Existing <br />Daily <br />Volumes1 <br />2040 <br />Forecasted <br />Daily <br />Volumes2 <br />CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) North of Red Oak Lane 5,300/6,100 14,000 <br />CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) South of Red Oak Lane 5,600/6,100 14,000 <br />CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) South of CSAH 34 (Birch St) 2,900/3,000 14,000 <br />CSAH 34 (Birch Street) West of CSAH 54 (20th Avenue) 3,500/3,150 10,000 <br /> <br />1Spack Video Data Collection/2018 AADT Volumes <br />2Anoka County’s 2040 Transportation Plan <br /> <br />Existing traffic volumes near the site are between 5,300-5,600 AADT (annual average daily <br />traffic). Nadeau Acres will generate approximately 685 new trips per day. These new trips <br />added to the existing daily trips are significantly less than the 2040 forecasted daily volumes. <br />
