Engineering Review Page 6 April 8, 2004 Fox Den Acres City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Traffic A Traffic Report for Fox Den Acres has been prepared by TDI, March 2004. Because the majority of generated traffic is expected to access to and from County Road 10 (Birch Street), the report essentially addresses expected impacts to Deerwood Lane, and the intersection of Deerwood Lane with County Road 10. However, the report does not address the impact of the smaller percentage of traffic that will utilize other routes, particularly Fox Road to the newly completed West Shadow Lake Drive and soon to be completed 62nd Street. Although the traffic volumes in this direction are expected to be relatively minor, it is recommended that the report still address potential impacts. Regarding the intersection of County Road 10 and Deerwood Lane, the report states that the Level of Service (LOS) of the Deerwood Lane northbound approach will ultimately (year 2009) operate at a LOS D under the build scenario. Table 2 in the report states that the same approach lane currently operates at LOS C and will continue to operate at LOS C under the year 2009 no -build scenario. As a result, it is recommended that additional work on the Traffic Report be conducted to address the following: 1. Impact resulting from generated traffic utilizing access to and from the southwest. 2. Level of Service changes at the intersection of Deerwood Lane and Birch Street resulting from Fox Den Acres, and assessment of any specific improvements that may be needed as a result. Other Issues In accordance with City requirements, a Landscaping Plan shall be submitted. The Tree Preservation Plan shall be subject to further review and approval of the City.
