He stated that he spoke with Ramsey County, and <br />they were not anticipating any problems with the intersection. The primary potential benefit <br />from an updated traffic study would be to determine level of service and the change in <br />background traffic. He stated the Plamring Commission recommended approval based on the 23 <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated he was concerned about Round Lake Boulevard and adding <br />this development here. He asked when Round Lake Boulevard would be improved for this type <br />of development. Mr. Hoag responded this project was noted in the CIP, but it is unassigned. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung believed they needed to look at the unassigned status and get this on <br />the CIP. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant reviewed his history with the project proposal.
