�� �� .i� TO: Thomas Paschlce, City of Roseville FROM: George Calebaugh, PE, PTOE DATE: December 5,2005 RE: Franlcs Redevelopment Traffic Study SEH No. A.-ROS�V9801.0� As requested, SEH completed a traffic study for tlae proposed Franlcs Redevelopment at 1800 Highway 36 in Roseville. The proposed redevelopment includes a sporting goods store of 18,480 square feet, a general retail use of 8,000 square feet, and a full service banlc of 7,085 square feet. The existing building on the site is currently vacant, but formerly was a Franlcs Nursery & Crafts store. The traffic study includes a comparison of tl�e trip generation for the former versus the proposed use for the site, an investigation of the traffic impacts of the proposed development on the �'airvi�r�v Avenue (CSAI-� 48)I�roa�tage RoadlGluak Lane intersection, and a review of the concept site plan for traffic issues and concerns. Trip Generation Trip generation for the former Franlcs Nursery and the proposed development were developed using the trip generation rates from Trip Generation, 7`h Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), 2003. Weelcday average daily traffic (ADT), weelcday AM pealc hour traffic, weelcday PM pealc hour traffic, and Saturday pealc hour traffic were estimated for the Franlcs Nursery and for the proposed development. There are no specific ITE trip rates for sporting goods stores or general retail uses. The ITE trip rates for a shopping center were used for these two uses. Table 1(See attached sheet) indicates the estimated trip generation for the Franlcs Nursery. Table 2(See attached sheet) provides the estimated trip generation for the proposed development. As can be seen from the tables, the proposed development is expected to generate significantly �no�e traffic than tl�e Franlcs Nursery for the pealc hours, as well as ADT. The majority of the traffic generated by the proposed development is due to the banlc. Traffic Operations The traffic impact of the proposed development on the �'airv�ew Aven�elFrontage RoadlG�uek Lane intersection was examined. Three scenarios, specifically existing conditions, one year after build-out (2007}, and ten years after build-out (2U17), were investigated for the traffic analysis. As can be seen from the trip generation data in Table 2, the weelcday PM pealc hour for the proposed development is expected to have higher volu��es than the AM pealc hour or Saturday pealc hour. Therefore, only the PM pealc hour was examined in the traffic analysis. Turning movement counts were conducted at the �'airvxew Aven�zel�ronfia�e RoadlGluek Lane intersection during the PM pealc period on 11130105. The existing PM peak hour volumes at the subject intersection are shown in Table 3(See attached sheet).
