Gene Hicks informed me that he is currently reviewing the Arden Hills Gateway <br /> Business Center EA \V during the comment period. In our conversation he queslioned me regarding <br /> my method of trip generation. Specifically, he wanted to know what trip generation rales I used in <br /> Ie detennining the site generated traffic. I explained that I applied general office and warehousing <br /> trip generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers to the floor areas <br /> devoted to each land use within the development. During our conversation it became apparent that <br /> I Ihe information I had regarding floor area size and the allocation of office and warehouse space <br /> was inconsistent with Ihe EA W projecl descriplion. Following your suggestion, I am writing you <br /> 10 provide the answer to his question. <br /> I Attached you will find "Details on Trip Generation for the Arden Hills Gateway Business Center." <br /> This exhibit shows clearly the trip generation method applied consislent ,vith the EA W project <br /> I description. You will notice that the total weekday p.m. peak hour and weekday daily trips are <br /> both less than staled in the EA W. Consequently, the traffic is less intense and the result of the <br /> intersection capacity analysis is still valid (i.e. the intersection of County Highway 96 and Round. <br /> I Lake Road will operate at level of service C during the p.m. peak hour \vilhol:t and ,vith the <br /> proposed development in 1998). <br /> I Please call me at 832-9858 should you have any additional questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> I BENSHOOF & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> ~7'~ <br /> I <br /> Peter A.
