Traffic forecasts were developed for the year 2011 and 2024. A 3.5% yearly <br />growth rate was used to account for growth in background traffic on the area <br />roadways. This growth factor is consistent with Mn/DOT's current projection <br />factor for Sherburne County as well as Mn/DOT's Highway 109/169 Corridor Plan <br />dated April 2002. <br />The directional trip distributions for the uses in Table 3 are shown in Figure 5. <br />The trip distributions for the site are based on existing travel patterns in the area. <br />The combination of background traffic and trips generated by the proposed <br />development are shown in the traffic forecasts on Figures 6 through 11. <br />4. TRAFFIC OPERA TIONS ANALYSIS <br />The traffic forecasts shown on Figures 6 through 9 were used with the existing <br />traffic control and lane configurations shown in Figure 3 to calculate LOS grades <br />for the four existing study intersections. It is assumed that the proposed North <br />Road and South Road intersections on County Road 40 will consist of one <br />eastbound shared right/through/left lane that is stop controlled, one northbound <br />through/left lane that is free flow, and one southbound through/right lane that is <br />free flow. The results are shown in Tables 4 and 5. <br />Table 4 -- Forecasted AM Peak Hour LOS Results <br />Intersection <br />2011 <br />2011 <br />2024 <br />2024 <br />No -Build <br />Build <br />No -Build <br />Build <br />TH 169 and County Road 12 <br />C <br />C <br />E <br />F <br />Main Street <br />County Road 12 (Main Street) and <br />A <br />B <br />B <br />B <br />County Road 13 (Line Avenue) <br />County Road 12 (Main Street) and <br />AIB' <br />AIB' <br />AIB' <br />A1C' <br />County Road 40 Cleveiand Street <br />County Road 13 (Twin Lakes Road) <br />A/B, <br />AIB' <br />AIB' <br />AIC' <br />and County Road 40 Davis Street) <br />County Road 40 (Davis Street) and <br />nIa <br />AIA' <br />nIa <br />AIA' <br />proposed North Road <br />County Road 40 (Davis Street) and <br />nIa <br />AIA' <br />nIa <br />AIA' <br />proposed South Road <br />The first LOS gives the LOS for the intersection and the second LOS gives the LOS for the <br />stopped approach. <br />Orrin Thompson Homes, Elk River, MN 7 EAW Appendix A <br />Traffic Impact Report April 2004 <br />
