Attachment 4 On-Site Circulation The Proposed Project is adding household hazardous waste disposal/recycling to the existing site that provides for organic/compost disposal. As part of the project, the organic/compost use is being moved to the north end of the site. Traffic for the organic/compost use will travel on Kent Street to the north end of the site and circulate to the east along a one-way loop and dispose of their waste. The new household hazardous waste disposal facility will be located in the center of the site. Traffic for this new service provided with the project will enter the site at the middle access from Kent Street and circulate along a way one-way loop exiting the site at the southern site access to Kent Street. There will be five locations for vehicles to dispose of their material, such as used motor oil, discarded computer products, florescent light bulbs, etc. and there are 42 planned spaces for vehicles to queue as they wait their turn. Drivers will be assisted by Ramsey County staff in their disposal of their waste and discussions with Hennepin County staff indicates that vehicles complete their disposal efforts in under a minute. The layout of the site with vehicle stacking should be able to accommodate over 200 vehicles per hour. The employees and visitors will be able to enter the parking area at the southern access from Kent Street. The site is planned to include 30 parking spaces for the visitor and 27 spaces for employees. Summary and Conclusions The following provides a summary of the study, traffic operations and recommendations: AM and PM peak hour traffic operations were analyzed for year 2025 conditions without and with the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project will generate 126 trips (63 entering and 63 exiting) during the morning traffic Peak hour, evening traffic Peak hour, and Saturday Midday Peak hour and 500 daily trips. Results of the traffic analysis for year 2025 without the Proposed Project indicate acceptable operations with minimal vehicle delay and back-ups at adjacent intersections. Results of the traffic analysis for year 2025 with the Proposed Project indicate acceptable operations with minimal vehicle delay and back-ups. No mitigation measures at adjacent intersections and access intersection are recommended. The Proposed Project has developed a circulation plan for the independent operation associated with organic material disposal, and household hazardous waste disposal which segregates these two use to different areas of the site. Users of these two separate operations will enter one-way circulation patterns that will have sufficient capacity for the anticipated demand.
