Video was observed during peak periods to determine the impacts of the queuing on site. The results of the observations are listed below. x The maximum observed queue was 7 vehicles during the PM peak hour (4 vehicles in front of the car wash payment and 3 vehicles behind the car wash payment). x During the PM peak hour (highest traffic volumes), there were minimal queuing issues on site with typically no more than 1 vehicle at each of the two payment stations on site. x It was observed that the majority of vehicles were part of the Wash Club and therefore had minimal to no wait at the payment stations. Based on the site plans, the proposed Mister Car Wash in Arden Hills will have 3 payment stations. There will be queuing on site for an estimated 12 vehicles behind the payment stations and an additional 5 vehicles in front of the payment stations. This results in a total stacking capacity of around 17 vehicles before queues would begin to stack into the drive aisle. Based on the observed queues and the proposed site plan, it is anticipated that all queues during typical operations can be accommodated on site without impacting the parking lot to the north. CONCLUSION The proposed car wash is anticipated to generate 1,560 daily trips, with 190 trips generated during the car wash peak hour of 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM. This is a similar number of daily trips as the existing land use and about 80 more trips during the PM peak hour. The observed maximum queue analysis at the Columbia Heights Mister Car Wash was 7 vehicles. With the proposed site layout providing storage on-site for approximately 17 vehicles before impacting the shared drive aisle, the car wash queues are not anticipated to impact operations of adjacent land uses or roadways.
