Mr. Jeffrey Agnes 8 September 12, 2007 The next step was to assign the differences in net new trips and net pass-by trips to the roadway system. For this purpose, the net new trips were assigned to the most convenient Har Mar access location according to the following trip distribution percentages: 35% to/from the north and south on Snelling Avenue and 15% to/from the west and east on County Road B. Based on current volume patterns and ease of use for stopping at the Har Mar Shopping Center, 54% of the pass-by trips were assigned from the south to the north on Snelling A venue, and 46% were assigned from the north to the south on Snelling A venue. The last step in establishing the 2009 build volumes was to account for the possible closure of the existing right turn in and out only access location on County Road B. Though this action is not part of the current concept PUD, it has been examined in the analysis, because there is sufficient possibility that this change will be desired in the future. This potential change was accounted for by shifting all right turn in and right turn out traffic at this existing driveway to the main Har Mar access farther east. For each of the three volume scenarios, the resultant weekday p.m. peak hour volumes are shown in Figure 2. and the resultant Saturday mid-day peak hour volumes are shown in Figure 3. For the weekday p.m. peak hour volumes shown in Figure 2, three key points are as follows: a) The volumes at the Snelling A venuelHar Mar access intersection are lower under the 2009 build condition than under the 2009 no-build condition, because trip generation for the proposed use for space 66 will be lower than for the fonner use. b) The volume entering the Snelling Avenue/County Road B intersection practically will be the same under the 2009 build condition, as compared to the 2009 no-build scenano. c) At the County Road B/main Har Mar access intersection, the volumes from the west and south change under the 2009 build condition due to closure of the existing right turn access on County Road B that is accounted for in this scenario. For the Saturday mid-day peak hour volumes shown in Figure 3, the following two points are important. together with changes at the County Road B/main Har Mar access that are similar to the weekday p.m. peak hour: a) At the Snelling A venuelHar Mar access intersection. volumes entering the intersection would increase by two percent under the 2009 build condition. b) At the Snelling Avenue/County Road B intersection, volumes entering the intersection would increase by three percent under the 2009 build condition.
