The site is adjacent to <br />TH 10 and is located to immediately to the west of the Bee Hive Assisted Living of Elk River <br />development, and north of the West Oaks neighborhood. The site will include two accesses, one from <br />a new extension to the east of the TH 10 frontage road originating at 146t" Street, and one via Yankton <br />Street SW through the West Oaks development. (See attached site plan figure.) This memorandum <br />documents the anticipated site generated traffic and anticipated distribution of the site generated <br />traffic based on travel time models. <br />Trip Generation <br />The trip generation for the proposed residential development has been estimated based on the <br />methodology described by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in Trip Generation, 10th <br />Edition.
