�SUS LLC <br />Date: February 28te, 2025 <br />To: Rob Page, Dave Ramsey <br />From: Katie Schmidt, PE (MN PE License #47147) <br />Re: Trip Generation Memo — Orono Garage Storage, Orono, MN <br />Per your request, SSTS LLC has conducted a trip <br />generation estimate for the proposed Orono Garage <br />Condo Development (Proposed Project) in the City <br />of Orono, Hennepin County, MN. The Proposed <br />Project is located north of Highway 12 and on the <br />east side of Old Crystal Bay Rd. Orono Industrial <br />Blvd is proposed to be constructed with the site for <br />access. 85 garage condo units are planned that <br />measure approximately 45'x 30'. Garage condos are <br />larger storage units where customers typically store <br />boats, vehicles, trailers and recreational vehicles. <br />The adjacent Figure 1 shows the location. Figure 2, <br />Site Plan, depicts the site layout and access location. <br />z <br />d 4 <br />m <br />s <br />Trip Generation <br />Garage <br />Traffic data for the uniquee Condo land use is <br />giOLpENRap WAY ORONo INDUSTRIAL BLVD jf; <br />not specifically included in the Institute of " <br />Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation <br />Manual', which is a standard industry reference ti <br />used by public agencies to estimate trips generated <br />by specific land uses. Investigation shows the "Mini - <br />Warehouse" use (ITE Land Use Code 15 1) is a <br />similar use with units that are generally smaller than ; <br />the proposed Garage Condos but can accommodate - <br />a vehicle. For comparison purposes the volume of figure 1. Project Location <br />vehicle trips generated by the Proposed Project considering "Mini -Warehouse" designation has been estimated for <br />the AM and PM peak hour of operations and on a daily basis per ITE's Trip Generation Manual. Table 1 <br />summarizes the trip generation estimates. <br />Table 1 - Trip Generation for Mini -Warehouse <br />Land Use <br />ITE Land <br />Use Code <br />Size <br />Trips Generated: <br />AM Peak <br />PM Peak <br />Weekday <br />ADT <br />Enter <br />Exit <br />Enter <br />Exit <br />Mini -Warehouse <br />151 <br />85 units <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />15 <br />Totals <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />15 <br />2 <br />2 <br />The Proposed Project is estimated to generate the following: <br />• 2 new trips (1 entering and 1 exiting) during the morning peak hour of operations, <br />• 2 new trips (1 entering and Iexiting) during the evening peak hour of operations, and <br />• 15 daily trips. <br />Site generated traffic is anticipated to be extremely low and will have a negligible impact on existing traffic <br />operations. <br />1 Trip Generation Manual, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), 11th Edition <br />Orono Garage Storage Trip Generation Review Page I 1 <br />144 <br />
