Commissioner Martinson strongly encouraged that City staff and the State Fair transportation manager consider revising the bus route to go east on Parker from Lexington, north at the first exit onto Burke, with the pick-up/drop-off point as close to the church as possible; north from the parking lot, west on Burke, and north on Lexington to B, then to Hamline. The majority of Commissioners were strongly supportive of Commissioner Martinson's proposed route; however some were leery to make it a condition without benefit of the opinion of a bus driver actually driving the route. Chair Bakeman opined that, regardless of which route was used, buses exit north on Lexington up to B and over to Hamline, rather than attempting a south turn on Lexington Avenue. Commissioner Boerigter expressed concern that the motion be specifically conditioned, without considering maneuvering ability for the bus driver regarding the route and safety issues. Discussion included rush hour concerns with routing options; assurances that litter be monitored and eradicated on both sites; dead-end or "no outleY' signage on Burke; preferred entrance onto the Calvary site; and site traffic and maneuvering on the Calvary Church site in relationship to adjoining residential properties. Mr. Paschke noted that staff had not been a chronic problem at other sites, at least to staffs knowledge. Mr. Paschke observed that if a problem with garbage or littering was noted on any site, residents simply needed to contact staff in order for staff to monitor and enforce the sites. Mr. Paschke advised that the rationale with the Interim Use Permit document and process was for City staff and the City Council to bring any concerns forward, with the City Council having the option to shut the site down if problems were noted. Mr. Paschke further noted the concerns raised by residents; and the presence of State Fair personnel and their awareness of residential concerns; and the multiple conditions applied to the permitting process to allow staff to have the ability to rectify issues. Following further discussion, the motion was amended by consensus to inc/ude conditions as follows: ➢ That operation of the sites will be conducted io have minimal impact on adjoining residentia/ areas in terms of noise, and traffic issues; and that Minnesota State Fair and respective Church stafis coordinate with City sfaff to find a solution for a more viab/e and /ess-disruptive ingress/egress and on-site route through the Calvary Church property; ➢ Temporary signage wi/I include signs p/aces at the Burke exit at Calvary Church indicating, "no right turn," or "no out/et."
