  <br />  <br />A Traffic Study evaluating the Nature’s Refuge development was submitted by Spack <br /> <br />Consulting. The development includes 60 single family homes that are anticipated to <br />generate approximately 565 new trips per day, 45 new trips in the a.m. peak hour and 60 <br />trips in the p.m. peak hour. <br />  <br />Comments: <br />  <br />1. The Study needs to provide an analysis of the existing LOS with and without the <br />proposed development as outlined in the Section 1001.013(2)(c). <br />See revised memo from Spack. The revised Traffic Study addressed a <br />portion of this comment. The Study should also consider what the impacts <br />are for an interim analysis a year after the development is completed as <br />well as the no-build conditions without development for comparison. <br /> <br />The May 17, 2018 revised Traffic Study addressed a portion of this comment: on page 5 <br />for the planning level screening analysis by including the 2015 no-build analysis. <br />However, an interim year was not considered to address when improvements with a two <br />lane facility may be need prior to the 4 lane facility being constructed. In addition, <br />the Intersection Analysis on page 7 and 8 did not include the 2015 no-build or interim <br />year analysis. <br />  <br />Following discussions with the developers engineer an updated revised Traffic Study <br />dated June 4, 2018 was prepared to address the remaining portion of the comment. The <br />Study now includes the analysis of the interim 2021 conditions with the proposed <br />development with existing geometric conditions. <br />  <br />Noted per comment above. <br />  <br />2.Projected traffic from any future phases of development (extension of Street B, Street C, <br />and Lino Lakes Elementary) that would use Street A to access Main Street (CSAH 14) <br />should be included in the analysis. See revised memo from Spack. <br />3.It is anticipated that Street A would require designated turn lanes at Main Street. <br />The Study should evaluate the intersection of the new Site Access Street (Street A) and <br />Main Street (CSAH 14) for both safety and operations. It is anticipated that Anoka <br />County Highway Department will require right and left turn lanes on CSAH 14 (Main <br />Street). The turn lane construction shall be add throughout the preliminary plat <br />documents. <br />Turn lanes denoted throughout the plans. Detailed turn lane construction plans will be <br />part of the final construction plans. <br />4. Upgrading Main Street (CSAH 14) to a 4-lane roadway has been identified by both <br />Anoka County and the City for some time in the future but has not been programed. <br />Therefore, should the analysis show that existing conditions do not require <br />improvements at Street A and Main Street (CSAH 14), documentation should be <br />provided of when in the future with the existing lane configurations the improvements <br />would be needed. See revised memo from Spack. <br />5.Assuming that the intersection of Main Street (CSAH 14) and Lake Drive (CSAH 23)
