b. 1 : The Community Development Department has determined that there will be an estimated '290 to 315 new residents when fully built out. 7.0 PROJECT IMPACTS: 7.1 Traffic has previously been reviewed by the City* s traffic and parking consultant Glen van Wormer (SEH) and is estimated in the Arona- Hamline Master Plan. Generally, the proposed traffic generated from the proposed redevelopment project will not be excessive -- especially because over 60% of the housing units will be senior units. Specifically, it is anticipated that the AM Peak Hour will generate 31 trips, of which 12 trips will use Anna Street and 19 will use Terrace Drive. The PM Peak Hour will generate 37 trigs, of which 23 will be using Anna Street and 14 will be using Terrace Drive. The Daily Traffic volume will generate 564 total trips, of which 328 will use Arona Street and � 6 will use Terrace Drive. The consultants (Glen Van wormer — EH) analysis is attached along with the analysis from the Presbyterian Homes redevelopment project. 7.2 required parking for the proposed development will consist of a two spaces for each dwelling unit, of which 1 2 will be required to be covered. In the case of the United Properties proposal, each single family home and rowhome will have two covered spaces. Single farnily sites will have additional parking in driveways. There are also four spaces proposed on the street for guest and park -user parking. The rowhorne site will also have addition on- street parking. The senior cooperative will provide each resident one underground parking space and the parking lot contains 45 parking spaces. Senior housing typically requires less parking (I covered space) than normal apartment living. The City Planner has determined that on -site and street parking is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed redevelopment. 7.3 Site lighting could be an issue for the adjacent property owners and the neighborhood. The Community Development Department has reviewed the site lighting plan and will continue to work with the Developer on an appropriate style and layout. The developer is responsible fors working with Xcel Energy, installing decorative residential street lighting on the public streets within the development site. 7.4 The placement of mechanical equipment can create visual and noise issues. Given the proposal, it is assumed that air conditioning units for both the single family homes and townhornes will be placed on the ground. All units for the single family homes must be placed on the north side of the home and screened from view. Units for the townhornes must be placed on the west side of the units and screened from view. In the case of the senior cooperative, it is assumed that heating, cooling, and ventilating equipment and air conditioning units need to be affixed as wall units to the building facade, placed on the ground, or placed within roof cavities. Those units that are ground units should be centrally placed in the courtyard and screened from view. Should an emergency generator be contemplated for the senior housing building, the plans must indicate the proposed location and the generator must meet all applicable State decibel levels. 6 7.5 The City has adequate sanitary sewer, storm water, and water main in place to support the development project.
