8. The estimated number of trips generated by this development is estimated at nearly 8,000 trips per day. At this time, the traffic study being performed by BRW has not been completed. Once the traffic study is completed, staff should work with BR Wand Ramsey County to develop a set of recommendations. 9. Many of the local residents have expressed a concern regarding cut-through traffic along Brenner Avenue and Evelyn Street. In the near future, the Engineering Department will place traffic counters in the neighborhood to determine ifthere is currently a cut-through problem. 10. For Lot 4, the site plan should be reexamined assuming no driveway access to Cleveland Avenue. The current configuration suggests that trucks would enter via the proposed access to Cleveland Avenue to enter the loading area. This in and of itself may be undesirable, since the loading area faces Cleveland Avenue. 11. For all sites, the applicant should examine internal truck circulation. Many of the sites have unique parking lot configurations which create difficult turning movements for larger vehicles. 12. For Lot 8, compact parking stalls are shown along the west and northwest portions of the parking lot. The spaces are located on the opposite side of the parking area rrom the entrances which makes the spaces somewhat undesirable. It is likely that vehicles, including compact cars, will park closer to the entrances, leaving the compact stalls for last. Larger vehicles entering the site will be forced to park in the compact stalls in this instance. The comments above generally apply to the proposal for the hotels/ restaurants located on Lots 9 through 12.
