� Debra Bloom, P.E. City of Roseville CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS • July 17, 2007 Page 11 Based on the analysis, the following conclusions and recommendations are offered for your consideration: • All key intersections curre:ltly operate at an acceptable LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, with existing traffic controls and geometric layout. It is worth noting that southbound left-turn queues at the Cleveland Avenue/County Road C intersection occasionally extend back to the adjacent intersection (Cleveland Avenue/1-35W Northbound Ramps) during the p.m. peak hour. • The proposed development consists of a 120-room hotel and a 5,000 square foot high- turnover sit-down restaurant. All parking is provided in a surface lot located on site. One main access point is proposed to the site as a right-in/right-out only access. The intent is for this access to service the entire site (hotel and restaurant). The right-in/right-out only access drive is identified as a temporary access location, with plans to relocate the site access to the south side of the parcel upon construction of the Future Twin Lakes Parkway (bordering the south side of the property). The proposed access scenario is not desirable. The following options are offered for consideration as improvements to site access and overall circulation: 1) Instead of the access as shown, it is recommended that the proposed development gain access from the adjacent driveway to the south. The proposed parcel is located immediately north of an existing (vacant) development with access directly across from the Cleveland Avenue/I-35W Northbound Ramps intersection. This access driveway would serve as the best access to the proposed site. The applicant should investigate developing a cross access agreement that would allow access to the proposed hotel and restaurant developments via this driveway. 2) It is recommended that the concrete median along Cleveland Avenue be extended further north (approximately 100 feet) to discourage motorists exiting the proposed development from making U-turns along Cleveland Avenue. In addition, the extended raised concrete median shall be signed with "No U-turn Permitted," which is strictly enforceable by law. • Under year 2009 build conditions, all key intersections will continue to operate at an acceptable LOS D or better during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with existing traffic controls and geometric layout. Although all key intersection will continue to operate at acceptable levels-of-service, the proposed access along Cleveland Avenue is not ideal, causing unsafe conditions along Cleveland Avenue with the potential for U-turns immediately north of this site access. • Based on our analysis results, the additional traffic from the proposed development can be accommodated by the existing roadway network. However, our review of the proposed site plan (although an interim condition) indicates that alternative access should be revisited and reviewed. The proposed interim access will create an unsafe driving condition alon`� Cleveland Avenue for both ne�,v patrons of the proposed development and everyday users oi� Cleveland Avenue.
