The recently completed improvements to Round Lake Road are adequate for the additional traffic volumes generated by an office development that would reach the upper end of the proposed 225,000 to 495,000 sq. ft. range. . A study prepared for the City of Arden Hills by BRW, dated September 15, 1998, analyzed potential additional developments that eould take place and still keep the intersection of Round Lake Road and County Road 96 within design capacity, The study concluded that an increase of 1,100 trips in the p.m, peak hour from the 52 acres still undeveloped could be accommodated, An office development at the upper end of the proposed range would generate only 750 trips, which is less than what was anticipated as a maximum in the BRW study, 29.
