Pax (65l) 266-7110 <br /> E-mail: Public,Works@co,ramsey.mn,us MAY 2 4 2005 <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Peter Hellegers <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> FROM: Dans02 <br /> Ramsey C nty Public Works <br /> SUBJECT: Arden Hills Office Park <br /> DATE: May 20, 2005 <br /> The Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed the Traffic Impact Report for the <br /> Arden Hills Office Park. The County previously provided comments to the City regarding the <br /> draft site plan on may 2,2005, Ramsey County has the following comments regarding this traffic <br /> . study. <br /> \. The Couuty concurs with the methodology used for trip generation and trip distribution as <br /> discussed in the traffic study prepared by Traffic Data Inc. The development of Office <br /> Condominiums on this site is expected to generate 868 trips per day. <br /> 2, Access to the site from the right in/right out driveway on Highway 96 will operate <br /> adequately, The County agrees with the study reconnnendation to sign and mark the right <br /> turn lane from westbound Highway 96 into the site. The developer will be required to add the <br /> appropriate signs and markings to designate a right turn lane. <br /> 3. The proposed access on Hamline A venue will be located at the existing access to the daycare <br /> with the daycare driveway connected into this new entrance road. Left turns exiting onto <br /> Hamline Avenue in the p.m, peak hour will be problematic. Northbound Hamline Avenue <br /> traffic frequently backs up past this entrance. This will result in delay for vehicles exiting the <br /> site onto Hamline Avenue. It is expected that ifthe delay here is to great, more vehicles will <br /> use the access on Highway 96. This may result in U-turns on Highway 96 and Hamline <br /> Avenue for drivers wishing to go west. This should not be a problem on a protected left tum <br /> phasc. <br /> 4. The County concurs with the othcr recommendations in the traffic study involving radius <br /> points on the Hamline Avenue access and stop signs at the daycare driveway, <br /> . <br /> Minnesota', First Home Rule County <br /> IHwt~d ,-,,, r("'ydfd pJ~er \\'ir,h ~ minimum Qf Woo po"l-cnnslImfl rr.ntent <br /> ~".:~ <br />
