<br />14 <br /> <br />delay (Level of Service A) (See Tables 8-15 in the Traffic Study in Appendix F of the <br />EAW). Level of Service A is in compliance with industry standard practice for acceptable <br />traffic mobility performance. <br />Comment 2. Was a comprehensive traffic impact study conducted to evaluate the potential <br />traffic backup on Carl Street during the busy morning and evening hours? <br />Response: Yes, the Traffic Impact Study in Appendix F of the EAW accounts for <br />projected vehicle queuing during the AM & PM peak hours. Under all forecast year 2025 <br />and year 2040 build models, the industry standard 95th percentile queue (length of <br />queue with only a five percent probability of being exceeded) on the Carl Street <br />approach to 4th Avenue is expected to be less than 55 feet (the equivalent of 2-3 <br />vehicles). (See the 95th percentile queues in the tables of Appendix A in the Traffic <br />Impact Study located in Appendix F of the EAW). <br />Comment 3. Do the Anoka County traffic projections and studies align with those from Alliant <br />Engineering? <br />Response: Annual average daily traffic (AADT) volumes forecast in the Anoka County <br />Year 2040 Transportation Plan Update are comparable to daily volumes forecast under <br />Year 2040 Build Conditions in the Traffic Impact Study. <br />Comment 4. Did the City of Lino Lakes or Alliant Engineering take into consideration the current <br />aquifer depletion issue taking place on the Lino Lakes border in Blaine? <br />Response: The drawdown issue referred to is related to new high production municipal <br />wells located in the City of Blaine and is most pronounced during the relatively <br />infrequent condition that multiple wells are pumping simultaneously during maximum <br />day water demand. The Robinson development area will be served by Lino Lakes <br />municipal water system which draws water from a different aquifer on the south side of <br />Lino Lakes. The deep irrigation well that currently serves to irrigate the sod farm will be <br />removed with the project. <br />Comment 5. Does the City of Lino Lakes plan to warrant the costs of the wells for current <br />property owners near the potential project? <br />Response: No. The City does not anticipate any impacts to offsite wells. <br />Comment 6. Did the City of Lino Lakes or Alliant Engineering investigate the possibility for <br />flooding due to the high-water table and the redistribution of water? <br />Response: Alliant Engineering has prepared the required floodplain calculations and <br />models for the proposed floodplain mitigation on site per Rice Creek Watershed <br />requirements and submitted this to Rice Creek Watershed District for review and <br />approval. Additionally, Alliant has prepared the required stormwater calculations for the <br />site per Rice Creek Watershed District regulations. This has been sent to Rice Creek <br />Watershed District for review and approval. All stormwater and floodplain calculations
