• Mounds View Planning Commission April 16, 1997 Special Meeting Page 8 She added that the consultants were also asked to research what was the peak of the generator. It was found to be from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. She added that the intersections were re-tested using this peak and there is enough capacity for the U- turns to be accommodated.
