southbound and approximately one vehicle every 6.5 minutes in the westbound direction. The existing intersection geometrics and traffic control can accommodate these added volumes. Miller's South Glen and Potential Area Development The roadway scenario which would result in the greatest increase in traffic along 62nd Street and Ware Road as a result of both Miller's South Glen and the potential area development is the existing roadway system. 62nd Street at Ware Road As mentioned previously, 62nd Street is stop controlled at its intersection with Ware Road. This location is potentially the most affected location due to the additional southbound left turns approaching the site onto 62nd Street, as well as westbound left turns leaving the site onto Ware Road. In the a.m. peak period, these movements are estimated at 7 vehicles and 45 vehicles, respectively. In the p.m. peak period, which has the highest conflicting traffic volumes, these movements are estimated at 31 vehicles and 25 vehicles, respectively. This represents approximately one south -to- eastbound left turn per 2 minutes, and approximately one west -to- southbound left turn every 2.5 minutes. The remaining movements affected by the proposed project -- westbound and northbound right turns -- have low conflicting volumes and represent an additional volume of one vehicle every 3 minutes 20 seconds westbound and one vehicle every 1 minute 20 seconds northbound during the p.m. peak hour. The existing intersection geometrics and traffic control can accommodate these added volumes. Ware Road at Birch Street Ware Road is stop controlled at its intersection with Birch Street. The proposed development will generate approximately 12 left turns onto Birch Street and 11 left turns onto Ware Road. This represents approximately one north -to- westbound left turn per 5 minutes and approximately one west -to- southbound left turn every 5.5 minutes. The remaining movements affected by the proposed project -- northbound and eastbound right turns -- have low conflicting volumes and represent an additional volume of approximately one vehicle every 10 minutes northbound and approximately one vehicle every 3 minutes in the eastbound direction. The existing intersection geometrics and traffic control can accommodate these added volumes. Ware Road at Ash Street (County Road J) Ware Road is stop controlled at its intersection with Ash Street. The proposed development will generate approximately 12 left turns onto Ash Street and 23 left turns onto Ware Road. These volumes represent a frequency of approximately one south -to- eastbound left turn per 5 minutes and approximately one east -to- northbound left turn every 2.5 minutes. The remaining movements affected by the proposed project -- southbound and westbound right turns -- have low conflicting volumes and represent an additional volume of approximately one vehicle per 4.5 minutes southbound and approximately one vehicle every 2.5 minutes in the westbound direction. The existing intersection geometrics and traffic control can accommodate these added volumes. Miller's South Glen A- LINOL9709.00 Lino Lakes, Minnesota Page 4
