No parking signs needed on one side of entrance road from Hamline, curve north . of building 18, and access road north of building 9 and 10. . Only one fire department key box needed per building. To be placed near F.D.C. Memorandum from Dan Soler, Ramscy County Public Works, dated July 27, 2006: "TIle Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed thc rcvised site plan for the Arden Hills Office Park. The County prcviously provided comments to the City regarding the dcvelopment of this property on May 2 and May 20, 2005. Ramsey County has thc following comments regarding this development. L The previously proposed development for this site included 76,000 square feet of office condominiums. Thc new proposal is for 62,000 square feet of officc condominiums. The County expects the anticipated trip generation for this site to be proportionately less than the 868 trips per day cstimatcd in the previous proposal. 2. Access to the site from the right-inlright-oul driveway on Highway 96 will operate adequatcly. The County will require the developer to sign and mark the right turn lane from westbound Highway 96 into the site. 3, The proposed access on Hamline A venue will be located at thc existing access to the daycare and the daycare driveway connectcd into this new entrance road. Left turns exi sting onto Hamline Avenuc III the p.m. peak hour will be problematic. Northbound Hamline A venue traffic frequently backs up past this entrance. This will . result in dclay for vehicles exiting the site onto Hamline Avenue. The City may wish to restrict left turns out of the development at the Ham1ine A venue cntrancc. This will rcquire drivers wishing to Iravel west on Highway 96 to turn right out of the Highway 96 access and make a U-turn at Hamline Avenue. This should not be a prob1enl on a protectcd left turn phase, The right turn in, right turn out and left turn in at the Hamline Avcnue access point are not anticipated to be a problem. 4. The County will require adequate radius points on the Hamline A venue access to allow right turns in and out of the driveway. The radii should be 25 to 30 feet. 5. The developer will be required to obtain a permit from Ramsey County for work within the right-of-way. This includes both access points and utility connections. Thanks for thc opportunity to make comments regarding this issue. If you have any questions or need any additional information please give me a call at 266-7114."
