Project BanjoTraffic StudyMarch 2, 2022 Page 6 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The proposed development, shown in Figure 3, includes construction of a 141,000 square foot industrial building generally bounded by Commerce Drive to the north, Fairview Street to the south, thst 20Avenue (CR 54) to the west, and 21Avenue to the east. The proposed development is assumed to be fully constructed and operational by the end of 2023. The facility will provide acombination of warehouse, logistics, and distribution operations. The buildingwill be a delivery facility thatprimarily serves the northeast Twin Cities metropolitan area. Given the operating and logistical characteristics of the user, peak activity of the site is expected to occur between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., with limited activity during traditional a.m. and p.m. peak hours (i.e., 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. and 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.). The operations have a direct correlation to the sorting equipment inside the building and the number of van loadingspaces. Further information regarding trip generation is provided later in this report. The developer anticipates a total headcount of approximately 543 employees on site throughout the course of the day during typical conditions. This headcount represents the total amount of employees in the building throughout the day, regardless of position or responsibility. The development is expected to operate in six shifts. The anticipated shift timesand employment structure is shown in Table 3. Employees will primarily run the inside operations of the building. Outsideof these core shifts, there might be a limited amount of other people inside the building doing small taskssuch as equipment maintenance or janitorial services.

Two driveways are planned along Fairview Street, which will primarily serve the van parking area. Three driveways are located st along 21Avenue; the northern driveway will be a truck only access, the central access will be the employee access, and the south access will be the primary exit for delivery vans.Up to a total of 896 parking stalls are proposed for the site, of which 297 spaces are designated for associate parking and 599spacesforvan parking. Additional discussion regarding site access and parking is provided within the site plan review section of this study.
