Re: Trip Generation Study – Holasek Business Park, Chanhassen, MN
Per your request, Swing Traffic Solutions, LLC has conducted a trip generation analysis for the proposed
Holasek Business Park development in Chanhassen, MN. The proposed development will include three
Office/Warehouse buildings identified as Buildings A, B, and C. The Building sizes vary with Building A
propose to include approximately 179,500 square feet, Building B 109,250 square feet, and Building C
178,600 square feet. Buildings A and C are divided into 80 percent warehouse and 20 percent office,
while Building B is divided into 70 percent warehouse and 30 percent office. The proposed site is
located along the south side of Lyman Blvd, just to the west of the Galpin Blvd. and Lyman Blvd
intersection.
The trip generation for the proposed Holasek Business Park office warehouse development has been
estimated based on the methodology described by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in Trip
Generation, 10th Edition. Table 1 summarizes the findings.

TOTAL 153 32 42 153 1649
As shown in Table 1, when fully built out and occupied the site is forecast to generate 185 AM Peak hour
trips distributed as 153 entering and 32 exiting trips; and will generate 195 PM Peak hour trips

distributed as 42 entering and 153 exiting trips during the afternoon traffic peak. These trips will be
distributed to the local roadway network via two access locations, one as the primary driveway that
aligns with Galpin Blvd and extends to the south, the other a right in/right out driveway from Lyman
Blvd located approximately on one quarter mile to the west. A review of the MnDOT’s average daily
traffic counts taken in 2017 suggest Lyman is currently operating at 40 percent of capacity. This project
will add approximately 10 percent to the existing traffic numbers resulting in Lyman operating at 45
percent of capacity. The existing roadway system operations will not experience significant change due
to the proposed development.
