FEB 2 3 1999 3535 VADNAIS CENTER DRIVE, 200 SEH CENTER. ST PAUL, MN 55110 651490-2000 800325-2055 ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORTATION February 19, 1999 RE: Roseville, Minnesota Cub Foods Development Har Mar Mall SEH No. A-ROSEV9801.00 Ms. Debra Bloom Assistant Public Works Director City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Deb: We have reviewed the proposal for developing a Cub Foods Store in the south Har Mar Shopping Center area. Cub Foods is proposing to develop a 76,500 square foot store in place of an existing Homeplace building of 54,500 square feet. The now vacant Homeplace store would be removed and replaced with a new building. Access to the new Cub Foods store would be via the existing Har Mar "roadways" to Snelling A venue and to County Road B. A typical Cub Foods store of this size would generate between 5,500 and 6,500 vehicle trips per day. This is based on trip rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Traffic Generation Handbook but modified based on local experience at several Cub and Rainbow Food Stores. We would suggest using 5,500 vehicle trips per day for analysis because of the location of the store and what we anticipate will be some problems of access, especially at heavy shopping times. The store will generate between 400 and 450 vehicle trips in the p.m. peak hour. Some trips to the Cub Foods store will come from customers already in the Har Mar complex. These are customers currently shopping somewhere in the complex who will ultimately make an additional stop at the Cub Foods store. We estimate a maximum of 10 percent of the total trips for this type customer. There will also be additional multi-purpose trips, but we believe they will be generated by Cub and not already be customers in the Har Mar complex. In addition, we anticipate approximately 10 percent of the total trips will be "passby" trips coming from primarily Snelling A venue with some also from County Road B. These are trips from motorists already traveling on one of the two roadways who will make a stop at Cub Foods as part of their existing trip. We anticipate that the clientele for the Cub Foods store will come primarily from Roseville, Falcon Heights, St. Anthony, New Brighton, Arden Hills and St. Paul. Cub already has stores to the east on Rice Street in Maplewood and to the south on University Avenue in St. Paul, but not for some distance to the west and north. Rainbow Foods, a major competitor, does have several stores in the area including Larpenter A venue, north of Rosedale, and in north Minneapolis. SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC MINNEAPOLIS. MN ST.
