Access to the individual residential sites would be via a separate internal network of roadways, as well as some direct access onto Dale Street, lona Lane, Judith Avenue, Western Avenue and South Owasso Boulevard.

Drive), Western Avenue (near Maple Lane Court) and South Owasso Boulevard (near the junction with Western Avenue). Development of a major piece of vacant urban land in a well established neighborhood will always be met with concerns over traffic generation, impacts on neighborhood streets and a number of other issues. To help analyze the concerns and provide information to all affected parties, each development concept WaS reviewed in-depth to determine the impact that it would have on the local area. 2.0 Traffic Projections Trip Generation Trip generation for each development concept was determined by applying trip generation rates from various sources. Sources included the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (lTE) Trip Generation Handbook (4th and 5th Editions) as well as the QRS (Quick Response Systems, 1978) Handbook. The lTE trip generation rates were used for all of the land uses (except for townhomes, in which QRS rates were used), and for aU peak hour trip generation. The QRS rate was used for townhome trip generation because this rate better reflected local traffic patterns and did not include condominiums in its scope (which are Lake Owasso Property Traffic Impact Analysis RoseviBe, Minnesota Page 2 A-ROSSD9401
