MILLER'S SOUTH GLEN PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW Background Miller's South Glen is a proposed 48 -lot subdivision located in the City of Lino Lakes. It is immediately north of 62nd Street, just east of Ware Road. Figure No. 1 shows the proposed subdivision. The subdivision proposal was submitted to the City and considered by the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board on September 11, 1996. During this meeting, questions were raised by the Board and residents that live in the area regarding the impacts of the proposal on the adjacent street system. As a result, the applicant withdrew the proposal pending the preparation of a report which will document potential impacts of this subdivision. This report summarizes our study and findings. Traffic Volumes Estimated total average daily traffic generated by the proposed 48 -lot subdivision is 480. The actual rates utilized for the trip generation were based on those in the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The maximum peak hour of traffic is anticipated to be from approximately 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. At that time, it is anticipated that there would be 48 trips generated by the site, with 31 inbound and 17 outbound trips. In the a.m. peak hour, anticipated to be between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., there are an estimated 36 trips generated by the development, with 9 inbound and 27 outbound trips. Existing Roadway System Given the existing roadway system, all traffic entering and exiting the proposed subdivision must use 62nd Street and Ware Road. It is anticipated that during the a.m. peak hour, 70 percent of the traffic will have an origin and destination south of 62nd Street and 30 percent to the north. The directional distribution during the p.m. peak hour will likely have a higher northern orientation along Ware Road as a result of increased traffic to and from the schools and commercial areas north of the proposed subdivision. As a result, 59 percent of the traffic generated by Miller's South Glen will have an origin or destination south of 62nd Street and 41 percent to the north. The additional peak hour traffic volumes on the existing roadway system contributed by Miller's South Glen are shown in Figure No. 2. West Shadow Lake Drive Extended to 62nd Street The directional distribution of the development - generated traffic will change slightly if West Shadow Lake Drive is extended from its current terminus to 62nd Street.
