May 25, 2022 Centerville City Council Page 6 of 18 RE: Banjo Distribution Center, PUD, Preliminary & Final Plat The study analyzed 7 different scenarios, including combinations of current traffic, 2025 and 2040 traffic, combined with or without the facilities traffic in both normal and peak seasons. A total of 10 intersections around the area were looked at, under each of the 7 scenarios. The major conclusions of the traffic study are: All intersections, during all scenarios continue to function at acceptable levels. The stacking capacity of turn lanes on 21st Avenue (north and south legs), will be st , in some of the future scenarios. These inadequate, blocking the closest driveways on 21 st Avenue. These inadequacies exist issues can be mitigated by constructing medians on 21 with or without project Banjo. Parks and Trails The project will include park dedication per the City’s ordinance. The City is not requesting land to be dedicated, but we recommend a future trail be included with the project on Fairview Street. The anticipated cost of the trail would be part of the park dedication for the project. This needs to be carefully considered, given roads and truck traffic in the area. There are trails in the western part of Centerville, th including one coming from the west to 20 Avenue south of Center Street, then extending th north on the west side of 20 Avenue. There are th no trails in this area east of 20 Avenue. thst Providing such a trail to connect 20 and 21 Avenues is a worthy goal, but only if there is a th safe crossing of 20 Avenue, which is a busy county road. This might best be accomplished with a crossing at a controlled intersection. That controlled intersection may take the form of a signal or roundabout at a realigned intersection th of Center Street and Fairview Street at 20 Avenue. The existing trails and possible future connection is illustrated above. The dark green trail would be st required as part of the Banjo PUD, to be built at a later date. The light green trail along 21 Avenue is a possible link at some point, shown on the Lino Lakes comprehensive plan. Together, these trail links would connect the rest of Centerville to destinations east, south and north.
