<br />Mr. John Peterson <br />December 8, 1993 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Avenue while another six (6) units would primarily be served by a second access onto <br />Grandview Avenue further to the west. However, except for the 2 units with direct access <br />to Grandview Avenue, the remaining sixty (60) units could gain access to any of the three <br />(3) abutting streets of Lexington Avenue (west), Grandview Avenue (north) and Lovell <br />Avenue (east). ' <br /> <br />C. SITE GENERATED TRAFFIC <br /> <br />The number of trips generated by the proposed Grandview Townhome development were <br />forecasted by using trip generation rates as recommended by the Institute of Transportation <br />Engineer's publication entitled, ItTrip Generation", 5th Edition, 1991. The estimated traffic <br />generated by the proposed development during an average day and during the P.M. peak <br />hour of an average day are as follows: <br /> <br /> Rates Trips <br /> Number of <br />Land Use Unit Units P.M. Peak P.M. Peak <br /> ADT Hour ADT Hour <br />Townhomes Dwelling 62 5.86 0.55 363 34 <br /> Unit <br /> <br />D. TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT <br /> <br />The site generated traffic estimates were distributed and assigned to the surrounding street <br />system using standard traffic engineering procedures. The trip distribution was completed <br />based upon an on-site observation of the existing traffic movement to and from the <br />surrounding neighborhood area. The basic distribution of trips was as follows: <br /> <br />M 65% to or from the south (to Mpls.-St. Paul); <br />- 10% to or from the west (towards Rosevi1le High School); <br />- 10% to or from the east (to Victoria Avenue); and <br />- 15% to or from the north (via Lexington Avenue) <br /> <br />That same trip distribution model was utilized for the daily trips expected to be generated <br />by the Grandview Townhome development and are graphical1y shown on attached Option <br />G. <br />
