I have included a copy of a conce�tual drawing showing what the t�uilding will look like. As you can see the new building will t�e a huge improvement compared to the e�:istinQ Firestone Buildiu� with lots of new landscapinQ aild it will be loeated adjaceilt to Gounty Ro�d B to be inore �edestrian frienclly. In acldition to the new buildin�, we will add an underground stonli water retention system, improve the parking lot litrhtinb iu o�ir east parking lot, improve the landscaping, alid install additional fencing on our east border to better screen the neighborhood. As you know, we are scheduled to present this to you on Monday, January 14`�'. For tiis to proceed with this project and all the related improvements to the property, we will need you to approve it without the condition of closing our right-out exit on to County Road B. In December, I sent to you additional traffic study information documentina the occurrence of the item of concern by City Staff, which is the occurrence of drivers backing up while perforniing U-tunls at the controlled intersection in front of Target. To show that we did not take this concei7l lightly, we hired well-qualified Traffic Engineers to study the traffic issues related to our redevelopment project. Our study showed less that 1% (.755 of 1%) of the cars making U-tunls at the controlled intersection in fi-ont of Target have to stop or baek up to make the turn. This is an insignificant affect and should not require us to change our access or egress to and from the property. We cannot aaree to close this exit, as this action will put us in default of all of our Anchor Tenant Leases. That �o��ditio�� will p�'eve�lt us fco�� bt'i►Igi»g D'Amico & Sons to Roseville, as well as, proceeding with all these great improvements to our property. We hope you will approve this redevelopment project without this exception so that these improvements can come to fruition. Respectively, mes Realty Ser ' �LLC , �/ � Jai 1es A.
