The proposed development will include 91 Mid-rise apartment units and 24 townhome units. The site is adjacent to TH 10 and is located to immediately to the west of the Bee Hive Assisted Living of Elk River development, and north of the West Oaks neighborhood. The site will include two accesses, one from a new extension to the east of the TH 10 frontage road originating at 146th Street, and one via Yankton Street SW through the West Oaks development.

Review of the City’s Comprehensive Plan as well as MnDOT’s corridor plans indicates 70 percent of the trips generated by developments in Elk River will originate from and be destined to other communities, and 30 percent will originate and be destined to sites in Elk River. To determine the path these two trip types take, a review of travel times from Google Maps was undertaken. In both case whether staying
