Westwood <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Date: May 17, 2017 <br />Re: 2520 Shadywood Rd., Orono, MN — Access Considerations <br />File R0010413.00 <br />To: Tom Goodrum, Westwood <br />From: Steve Manhart, P.E. PTOE, PTP <br />7699 Anagram Drive <br />Eden Prairie, MN 55344 <br />Main (952) 937-5150 <br />Fax (952) 937-5822 <br />westwoodps.com <br />(888) 937-5150 <br />Per your request, I have reviewed the access considerations for the proposed 40 -unit <br />apartment use at 2520 Shadywood Road in Orono. The following are some of my <br />observations and reactions: <br />The posted speed limit on Shadywood Road south of Shoreline Drive (Co. Rd. <br />15) is 40 mph. <br />Shadywood Road is functionally classified as an "A -Minor Expander" roadway <br />by the Metropolitan Council. <br />The 2015 MnDOT Metro Traffic Volume Map does not provide a specific <br />Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) for this segment of Shadywood Road. <br />Nevertheless, one may estimate the daily volume by averaging the given <br />volumes to the north and south of this site. Therefore, one may assume the <br />AADT for this segment of Shadywood Road is approximately 7,950 veh/day. <br />According Land Use Code 230 of the ITE Trip Generation Manual, Ninth <br />Edition, the 40 -unit condominiums will generate approximately 232 trips per <br />weekday (116 entering and 116 exiting); 18 trips in the a.m. peak hour (3 <br />entering and 15 exiting), and 21 trips in the p.m. peak hour (14 entering and 7 <br />exiting). <br />According Land Use Code 230 of the ITE Trip Generation Manual, Ninth <br />Edition, the 40 -unit condominiums will generate approximately 226 trips per <br />day on a Saturday (113 entering and 113 exiting), and approximately 194 trips <br />per day on a Sunday (97 entering and 97 exiting).
