. . . 22. TRAFFIC Parking spaces are estimated at 900 - 1200 due to unknown commercial development. A significant part of the commercial use will be professional offices which require less parking need than retail. Therefore, an estimate of 900 spaces is determined to be valid. There are no exist ing parking spaces.. .lo,. .,' This estimate could also be greatly reduced if th~~one change request for the 27 acres of commercial development is unsucces~ful. The Trip Generation Manual was used to generate the ADT (est. at 10,854) and maximum peak hour of traffic (1600 - 1700). Both commercial and residential traffic will be directed onto 193rd Street which has been developed through the City's Transportation Plan as a localized collector. Traffic from the project will have direct access to US Trunk Highway 169 via 193rd Street, which is a fully signalized intersection. Commercial traffic will not mix with residential traffic except immediately prior to gaining access to Trunk Highway 169. Other traffic movements are insignificant. No additional street improvements will be necessary other than typical internal streets associated with this development. 23. VEHICLE-RELATED AIR EMISSIONS The project is consistent with the City's transportation planning; consequently, there is no reason to expect traffic congestion, and therefore, decreased air quality. It is uncertain at this time whether an Indirect Source Permit will be required. 24. STATIONARY SOURCE AIR EMISSIONS No. The City of Elk River prohibits the incineration of waste. 25. Yes. Grading during the construction phases will generate fugitive dust and noise. There are no sensi ti ve receptors in the immediate proj ect site. However, water (no chemicals) will be used to control dust as necessary. Construction activities are regulated by the City, and are to be performed during the hours of 0700 1900 to minimize the noise on adjacent properties. At certain times, noise levels from Highway 169 are likely to exceed state noise standards. The completed commercial development will provide a noise buffer to the entire adjacent residential area. 26. c. Yes. A neighborhood park and connecting trail system have been identified in the City's Master Park Plan and will be incorporated within the plans for this project. 28. COMPATIBILITY WITH PLANS Yes. The project will comply with all City of Elk River plans, including: Comprehensive Land Use Plan Master Park Plan Transportation Plan Storm Water Management Plan Capital Improvements Plan Zoning Ordinance Sewage Collection Plan
