''1 Traffic Conditions: � 6.7 The City's Traffic Engineer, SRF, has reviewed the Har Mar Traffic Study. We are working with the applicant on modifications to their traffic model to ensure that it adequately represents the public system. Some of these modifications may impact our traffic comments and conditions. Staff will update the commission at the meeting if there are any changes. The following are conditions that we would like added to the PUD agreement: The right-in/right-out access located along County Road B, approximately 300 feet east of Snelling Avenue, will be closed under future conditions as part of the redevelopment of the Har Mar Mall. The site plan in the northeast corner of the development (near the existing Firestone auto service center) should be modified to relocate the east leg of the internal intersection immediately adjacent to the County Road B/Har Mar Mall Access (signalized) intersection further south. This will assist in trafiic flow in this area. The site plan on the west side of the mall should be modified to update the parking configuration in this area (i.e. 90-degree parking on the east and angled parking on the west side of the drive aisle). Snelling Avenue Improvements: 6.8 In 1999, State Farm Insurance listed the Snelling Ave/ County Road B intersection as one of the 10 most dangerous intersections in Minnesota. In 2000, the City of Roseville, Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), and Ramsey County conducted a traffic conflict study to determine ways to improve the safety of this intersection. In late 2001, staff inet with all of the business owners impacted by this intersection in an effort to prioritize the countermeasures identified in the study. This study and the property owner meetings generated a list of improvements that the different agencies have been working on accomplishing over the last 6 years. Some of these items can only be accomplished concurrent with redevelopment. 6.9 The most comprehensive project identified is being proposed by Mn/DOT for construction in 2008. Mn/DOT will be going out to bid for this proj ect in January 2008, with construction to begin as soon as feasible in the spring. This safety project for the Snelling and County Road B intersection includes the following improvements: Addition of a northbound through lane on Snelling Avenue from a point just north of Roselawn Avenue to TH 36 eastbound ramps.
