City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for January 9, 2017 Page 12 of 17 The applicant provided the traffic counts for the proposed uses on the site (Attachment D). These may not be the exact businesses that are located at completed development, but staff and the County feel that they represent some of the largest traffic generators that could be allowed in the zoning district. The traffic counts show 372 a.m. peak hour trips and 274 p.m. peak hour trips. Ramsey County reviewed the traffic counts and provided no comment regarding the increase in traffic (Attachment E). Ramsey County has provided comments regarding the design of the accesses that is discussed in Section 6.B. below. 6. Additional Review A. Building Official, City Engineer, and Fire Marshal The Building Official has no comments regarding this development. The City Engineer requests the construction detail for the sidewalk ramps to ensure that they are constructed in compliance with ADA standards. Additionally, the City Engineer notes that a City grading and erosion control permit will be required and the Rice Creek Watershed District will need to issue their permit before the City grading permit would be issued. The Fire Marshal has been provided a copy of the fire truck turning exhibit . The Fire Marshal requests that the exhibit be revised to show the fire truck entering from Lexington Avenue as well. B. Ramsey County Review Following the Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant revised the plans to address the concerns of Ramsey County in the letter dated November 1, 2016 (Attachment E). After reviewing the updated plans, Ramsey County provided an updated letter, dated December 30, 2016 (Attachment F). The updated letter states that the driveway location for Phase 1 construction of Bremer Bank is acceptable. For any future phases, the 100 foot right turn lane on Lexington Avenue will be required, along with the relocation of the driveway further south. The County is planning a construction project on County Road F in 2018, and it would be to the benefit of all parties to construct the turn lane on Lexington Avenue at that time. The funding for the turn lane would be the responsibility of the developer. If the developer is amenable to this, the City and County should determine requirements to be included in the Developer’s Agreement. C. Rice Creek Watershed District Rice Creek Watershed District will need to issue their permit before the City’s grading permit will be issued. Planning Commission:
