11 <br /> <br />A triangulated row of coniferous trees will also be planted at the north end of Heritage Avenue <br />to screen potential vehicle headlights shining onto the adjacent property. <br />Coniferous trees and shrubs will be planted on Outlot F around the lift station. <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 <br />collected by Spack Solutions, the development is forecasted to generate approximately 685 new <br />trips per day with 50 new trips in the a.m. peak hours (7-8am) and 65 trips in the p.m. peak <br />hours (4:30-5:30pm). <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 /> <br />Traffic Capacity <br /> <br />A ratio of volume to capacity is used to analyze traffic congestion. A road with a volume to <br />capacity ratio of 1.0 means the traffic volume is nearly equal to the traffic capacity and will feel
