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