BAKER <br />DIRECT DIAL No. (612) 373-B344 <br /> <br />March 7, 1997 <br /> <br />BY FAX AND U.S. MAil <br /> <br />Scott McBride <br />Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc. <br />300 Park Place East, 5775 Wayzata Blvd. <br />St. Louis Park, MN 55416-' 228 <br /> <br />Re: Centre Pointe EA W <br />Our File No.: 2043.151 <br /> <br />Dear Scott: <br /> <br />To assist the City of Roseville's to prepare appropriate responses to comments <br />on the traffic component to the Centre Pointe EAW, the City needs OSM to answer <br />the following questions related to the January traffic study: <br /> <br />1. To project traffic counts on Cleveland Avenue for 1997 based on data collected <br />in 1995, upward adjustments of 11 and 8 percent were used while recognizing <br />that "these adjustments are higher than the average 3 percent per year growth <br />factor used in the County." The City would like a more complete explanation <br />of the changes affecting traffic volume on Cleveland Avenue from 1995 to <br />1997 that explain or would otherwise justify OSM's choice of these <br />higher-than-average rates of traffic volume increase during that period. <br /> <br />2. The MPCA's comments indicated the need fer lIa description of a detailed trip <br />generation with all assumptions, including any trip discount rate used." Please <br />provide a more detailed description of the assumptions and methodology of trip <br />generation used. <br /> <br />3. On a related point, the Benshoff report contends at p. 4 that the study <br />undercounted trips to be generated by Centre Pointe in certain respects. <br />Although Mr. Benshoff's failure to explain his own assumptions and <br />methodology makes it difficult to assess the accuracy or inaccuracy of his <br />conclusions, we would appreciate any explanation or commentary you may <br />have regarding whether the trips were undercounted. <br /> <br />/ <br />v/ <br /> <br />333 SOUTH 7TH STREET I SUITE 1700 1M INNEAPOLlS, MN 55402 <br />612-373-0830 I FAX 612-373-0929 I E-MAIL DIR@GR-ESPEL,MSPHUB,COM <br /> <br />PROFESSIONAL LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP <br />
