The road will be named Minar Road. Minar Road will extend past the <br />McDonald's site into the Minar Ford property. The office buildings west of McDonald's will have <br />an access to Minar Road and it will replace the hmgbrack Drive access- A small parcel, of Minar Ford <br />property will be isolated by the new roadway. The plan is that this land will become palm of <br />McDonald's and tho McDonald's site will be redesigned with a now McDonald's building. <br />TRAMC: ANALYSIS <br />Trip Generation <br />It is estimated that the McDonald's will generate 2674 vehicle trips per day. The 3&nar Ford is <br />estimated to generate 2978 vebcle trips per day and the U-Haul facility will generate 10 to 20 vehicle <br />trips per day. The vehicle nlps generated are based on the size of each land use type and were derived <br />from rates in the 6th edition of the Trip Generation manual published by the Institute of TranspomWon <br />Engineers (ITB). SEH has had prior experience with car dealerships providing auto repair thus the <br />TTR rates were modified based on local generation patterns. <br />The peak huuis ato ahusen fur analysis of traffic operations since the surrounding roadways usually <br />experience the highest volume of traffic in a single hour. This single hour in the morning is the A.M. <br />Peak Hour and in the late afternoon is the P.M. Peak Hour. Both the A.M. Peak Tour and P.M. Peak <br />hour were analymA in this study. The three land uses are expected to generate 433 vehicle trips in <br />the A.M. Peak Hour and 380 vehicle trips in the P.M. Peak Hour. <br />SHORT ELLIOTT <br />!-l DR/CKSON INC. MINNEAPOLIS, MN ST.
