SUBJ: Paisley Park Museum Update Vvv
BACKGROUND
On October 24, 2016, the City Council approved the PUD and Site Improvement Performance
Agreement for Paisley Park. As a part of that approval, staff was to report back on the how
museum operations are working.
ANALYSIS
Site Improvement Performance Agreement Required Improvements. The Developer shall
construct the following improvements by the dates indicated:
A. Re -stripe Audubon Road to include left turn lanes at the intersection of McGlynn
Drive/the southern access to the site by October 5, 2016.
This condition has been met.
B. Stripe the parking stalls by October 5, 2016.
This condition has been met
C. Allow the Paisley Park North Access to remain in the current location, while restricting
access to "Bus Only" and "Right -Out Only" for passenger vehicles through signage. This
restriction would limit the potential for motorists traveling south along Audubon Road.
A permanent barrier island should be placed in the access to control the right-in/right-out.
This condition has been met
D. A traffic study shall be completed at 6 and 12 months, as directed by the Public Works
Director, and shall include a level of service analysis of the intersections of Audubon
Road at: the northern access, McGlynn Drive, Coulter Boulevard, and Park Road. The

study shall also analyze the pedestrian movements across Audubon Road at Highway 5
and McGlynn Drive. If the level of service at any number of the intersections fails,
and/or if the study identifies a pedestrian safety issue, the applicant shall install and pay
for the recommended improvements such as a rapid flash crosswalk to the roadway
system and/or the site.
SRF completed a traffic study in May, 2017. Attached is that report. The report states
no significant operational issues were found
E. Landscaping shall be planted by spring of 2017 and maintained per the PUD.
The Landscaping plan has been submitted but has not been installed
MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES
Law Enforcement
In the last eight months (since October, 2016) there have been a total of 20 Calls For Service
(CFS) to Paisley Park. All of the CFS can be codified as Miscellaneous/Non-Criminal and do
not fit in as Group A or B. The majority of the calls were false alarms, a couple of stalled
vehicles, and several medicals. There were four calls for suspicious persons and one complaint
of someone who stated they didn't receive their tickets online. This is a minimal number of CFS
for this location and has a negligible impact on our overall public safety mission in the city.
In summary, Paisley Park Studios LLC museum operations does not have a negative impact on
law enforcement services. They are a good community partner and have been responsive the few
times we have requested they add services; i.e. they contracted with off-duty deputies to assist
with traffic control during the memorial celebration week.
For comparison purposes, the Chanhassen Dinner Theater generated 27 CFS during the same
review period and the majority of those CFS are Miscellaneous/Non-Criminal as well.
Building and Fire Department Comments
The museum uses a temporary tent for merchandise sales. A tent is a temporary structure and
has a permitting time of 180 days. Building inspections gave a 180 -day extension. The permit
for a temporary tent expires on September 19, 2017 and cannot be extended. A permit must be
applied for and all building and fire codes met.
Sewer Access Charge (SAC) determination and payment of all related fees have been paid.
Electrical, HVAC and electrical system have been approved. The sprinkling alarm system, egress
devices have been updated and approved.

The physical building plan currently meets fire code to function for the permitted use as a
museum. Recently, Paisley has improved their fire alarm system and notification systems to
include voice annunciation that would meet the requirements of an approved concert, in
accordance with plans submitted, for seating 1,375. In consultation with Building Official Jerry
Mohn, all exiting is in place, properly marked, and functioning to support both the museum and
an occasional concert if the conditions of the PUD are satisfied.
The definition of a concert is: ANY live performance, which would include amplified music,
live artists, theatre lighting, etc. Whether the performance has anything to do with a tour is not a
consideration to these requirements. Any concert will require an on-site inspection of the
building arrangement prior to the city -approved event taking place. This will include a visual
inspection of the seating and stage arrangement to ensure adherence to the submitted plans and
applicable fire code requirements are met. Additionally, performers will be required to use the
sound board and speakers provided on site to ensure the alarm notification system works
properly as demonstrated during final acceptance testing. On-site inspections may include
observation of the actual event during operation.
The ordinance also allows for private events. Paisley should utilize the special event permit
process to ensure full approval from all city departments prior to the event. This would allow the
fire department to review applicable fire codes as they relate to whatever type of event is being
held beyond the permitted use, i.e. clearing the main sound stage area of museum displays to add
a full stage and seating for a concert or major gathering of people other than a concert.
The operation of the museum continues to evolve as the owner refines their business model. Staff
has a good relationship with the operators and they are responsive to any concerns the staff has.

Subject: Paisley Park Traffic Operations Review
Introduction
As part of the Paisley Park Museum approval in the fall of 2016, City staff was directed to assess traffic
operations approximately six (6) months after the museum opening. Since the previous 7801 Audubon
Road Traffic and Parking Study, dated September 15, 2016 and the 7801 Audubon Road Traffic andParking
Study Supplement, dated October 19, 2016 were based on a series of assumptions, the purpose of this
review is to determine how the transportation system is operating relative to the study expectations.
Therefore, the primary objectives of this review are to identify/compare area traffic volumes/patterns,
site trip generation, intersection capacity, and pedestrian compliance. The following information
provides a summary of the review findings.
Traffic Volumes
Intersection turning movement counts were collected along Audubon Road at the following locations
between Thursday, May 18 and Saturday, May 20, 2017. The traffic volumes were collected between
9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. at the Paisley Park site access locations to determine the daily traffic volume
profiles for the site, which are illustrated in Figure 1. A detailed trip generation comparison is provided
later in this review.
1) MN Highway 5
4) Coulter Boulevard
2) North Paisley Park Access 5) Park Road
3) McGlynn Drive/South Paisley Park Access
At the non -site access study intersections, only the weekday p.m. peak and Saturday midday peak
hours were counted. A summary of the weekday p.m. and Saturday midday peak hour conditions are
shown in Figure 2.
To illustrate how traffic volumes have changed since the Paisley Park Museum opening, a comparison
was completed between the recently collected data with the previous data collected in 2016. Based on
this comparison shown in Figure 3, traffic volumes along Audubon Road (north of McGlynn Drive)
have generally increased by approximately 500 vehicles per day. The change is a result of a combination
of newly generated traffic from the museum, as well as general daily variations in traffic. During the
Saturday midday peak hour, minimal changes in volumes were observed. It should be noted that the
Saturday morning car events at the AutoMotorPlex have moved to Canterbury Park.

Paisley Park Traffic Operations Review
Trip Generation Comparison
June 5, 2017
Page 5
A trip generation comparison was completed to identify how the museum currently generates traffic
(based on the data recently collected) in comparison to the previous study assumptions. The previous
study assumed the museum would generate approximately 150 peak hour trips and 1,850 daily trips,
which assumed a sold -out condition. Based on the recent traffic data collected, the museum generated
approximately 37 weekday p.m. peak hour, 85 Saturday midday peak hour, and between 550 and 800
daily trips, depending on the day of the week. Specific visitor or employee data was not currently
available to determine the ratio of vehicle trips to the number of visitors. A summary of the previous
study assumptions and the recently collected site trip generation are shown in Table 1.
Table i Trip Generation Estimate
(1) Based on data provided by project staff.
(2) Represents the maximum number of trips expected to be generated (assumes sold -out tours throughout the day) for both a weekday
and Saturday.
(3) 550 represents the weekday daily traffic volumes, while the 800 represents the Saturday daily traffic volumes.
Intersection Capacity Analysis Comparison
An intersection capacity analysis comparison was completed for the weekday p.m. and Saturday
midday peak hours to determine how area traffic operations have changed since the museum opening.
Intersections were analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic (Version 9) and compared to the intersection
level of service data provided in the previous study. A summary of the previous and current level of
service results from the intersection capacity analysis for the weekday p.m. peak hour and Saturday
midday peak hours are shown in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.
Results of the May 2017 weekday p.m. peak hour intersection capacity analysis indicate that the study
intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS C or better with the existing geometric
layout, traffic controls, and museum in operation. All side -streets along Audubon Road also operate
at acceptable levels of service. However, it should be noted that the northbound left -turn queues
from the MN Highway 5/Audubon Road intersection extend beyond the existing Paisley Park North
Access approximately 25 percent of the weekday p.m. peak hour. Furthermore, the westbound left -
turn 95th percentile queue at the MN Highway 5/Audubon Road intersection extend approximately
235 feet during the weekday p.m. peak hour, which is less than half of the available storage.

Table 2 Weekday PM Peak Hour Intersection Capacity Analysis Comparison
June 5, 2017
Page 6
(1) Indicates an unsignalized intersection with side -street stop control, where the overall LOS is shown followed by the worst approach
LOS. The delay shown represents the worst side -street approach delay.
Comparing the October 2016 (i.e. non -museum) condition and the previously assumed event
conditions (i.e. PP Event (2k Guests) Car Only), the Paisley Park driveways, Coulter Boulevard, and
Park Road intersections operate at similar levels of service. The MN Highway 5/Audubon Road
intersection operates at an acceptable LOS C, with delays increasing more than previously expected.
However, the increase is this location is primarily a result in the change in traffic volumes unrelated
to the Paisley Park Museum and since the intersection still operates well within the acceptable range,
no mitigation is necessary.
Results of the May 2017 Saturday midday peak hour intersection capacity analysis indicate that the
study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B or better with the existing
geometric layout, traffic control, and museum in operation. Comparing the October 2016 (i.e. non -
museum) condition with the May 2017 data, the operations are similar. At the Paisley Park South
Access, the maximum observed southbound left -turn queue into the site was approximately 50 feet
(i.e. two vehicles). This queue was a result of the security checkpoint location, which was immediately
beyond the gate. If queues on Audubon Road become an issue, the checkpoint could be moved further
into the parking lot.

(1) Indicates an unsignalized intersection with side -street stop control, where the overall LOS is shown followed by the worst approach
LOS. The delay shown represents the worst side -street approach delay.
Comparing the October 2016 (i.e. non -museum) condition and the previously assumed event
conditions (i.e. PP Event (2k Guests) Car Only), the Paisley Park driveways, Coulter Boulevard, and
Park Road intersections operate at similar levels of service. The MN Highway 5/Audubon Road
intersection operates at an acceptable LOS C, with delays increasing more than previously expected.
However, the increase is this location is primarily a result in the change in traffic volumes unrelated
to the Paisley Park Museum and since the intersection still operates well within the acceptable range,
no mitigation is necessary.
Results of the May 2017 Saturday midday peak hour intersection capacity analysis indicate that the
study intersections currently operate at an acceptable overall LOS B or better with the existing
geometric layout, traffic control, and museum in operation. Comparing the October 2016 (i.e. non -
museum) condition with the May 2017 data, the operations are similar. At the Paisley Park South
Access, the maximum observed southbound left -turn queue into the site was approximately 50 feet
(i.e. two vehicles). This queue was a result of the security checkpoint location, which was immediately
beyond the gate. If queues on Audubon Road become an issue, the checkpoint could be moved further
into the parking lot.

Pedestrian and Parking Compliance
Observations were completed to assess the number of pedestrians crossing Audubon Road to access
the Paisley Park area. This included crossings at MN Highway 5 and both site driveways. It should be
noted that there are no pedestrian facilities on the east side of Audubon Road and pedestrians are
discouraged from walking along the grassy area immediately adjacent to Paisley Park.
During the weekday p.m. peak hour, there were three (3) pedestrians that crossed Audubon Road at
both MN Highway 5 and the South Site Access. The pedestrians that crossed at MN Highway 5 were
using the adjacent trail and did not access Paisley Park. The pedestrians that crossed Audubon Road
at the South Site Access entered the museum parking lot. Throughout the day, there was a total of
approximately 12 pedestrians that were observed crossing Audubon Road at the South Site Access.
Pedestrian crossings in this location should continue to be discouraged, although no further mitigation
is currently necessary.
No pedestrian activity was observed over the course of the day on Saturday, although rainy conditions
were present which likely impacted pedestrian activity. It should be noted that pedestrian activity has
decreased since the museum opening. To provide some perspective, observations completed in
October 2016 during the museum opening weekend indicated approximately 59 pedestrians crossing
Audubon Road during the Saturday midday period. The reduction in pedestrian activity is likely due
to a combination of the restricted parking on McGlynn Road, additional area signage directing
pedestrians, and a general decrease in demand.
From a parking perspective, visitors to the museum are directed to park within the site and not along
McGlynn Road or Audubon Road, which prohibit parking. However, vehicles were observed turning
onto McGlynn Road, parking for a short duration, and making a U-turn in the cul-de-sac to access
Audubon Road. There were some vehicles observed going into Paisley Park from McGlynn Road,
with others making turns onto Audubon Road. While parking is not allowed along McGlynn Road,
the majority of the vehicles made an immediate U-turn and continued on.
