Adelaide Landing Residential Development Traffic Impact Analysis INTRODUCITON 1/31/2017 The following is a traffic impact analysis for a 217.5-acre premier residential development called Adelaide Landing, proposed north of 130th Street North and east of US Trunk Highway 61 (TH 61) in the city of Hugo, Washington County, Minnesota (see Figure 1). The Excelsior Group (Client) is proposing to construct 324 residential units on the site. Of that number, 91 lots are proposed to comprise villa homes, 51 lots are proposed to comprise detached townhomes and the remainder (182 lots) are proposed to comprise single-family homes. A small neighborhood park is proposed at a midpoint of the housing. The street system is proposed to be curvilinear with one main neighborhood collector running north -south through the development with various local streets intersecting the north -south street and serving small pockets of housing. While the development will propose no new direct access intersections onto TH 61, the concept sketch plan for the site includes a connection to existing 137th Street North that proceeds through another residential development and intersects TH 61. Further, the Adelaide Landing Development proposes three intersections with 130th Street North at the south end of the site, which in turn provide direct access to TH 61. Other development streets will connect with the existing residential street system to the north and northeast of Adelaide Landing. This analysis looked at the traffic operation of the study area during three time periods: ➢ Existing condition (2016), ➢ One year after full development (2025), and ➢ Twenty-year timeframe (to 2040). The following intersections will be assessed in this analysis: TH 61 & 130th Street N TH 61 & 134th Street N TH 61 & 137th Street N TH 61 & 1401h Street N 130th Street N & West Site Access Street/Flay Road 130th Street N & 129th Drive N (Mid Site Access Street) 130' Street N & East Site Access Street 140th Street N & Flay Avenue This analysis will address the potential for "cut -through" concerns, as well as pedestrian access and crossings. Findings from this study will be compared with the results from previous studies in the area, including the TH 61 Corridor Access Management Plan, the TH 61 at 130th Street ICE Report and the City of Hugo Comprehensive Plan. A mitigation plan will be prepared that will address the proposed development plan now and in the future. Westwood
