oJ ~ 00 BRADLEY Real Estate A Message About: Cub Foods at the Har Mar Mall · Some of our neighbors have expressed concerns about a Cub Foods store in the former Har Mar Mall Home Place location. We at Bradley Real Estate, the owners of the Har Mar Mall, have listened to those concerns. Working together with the local Cub owner, we have spent the last four months trying to reconcile competing needs and concerns of several groups affected by the plan: residents close to the Mall, the City of Roseville, Har Mar customers and tenants and the many Roseville area residents who would benefit from a new, locally-owned Cub Foods store. Here are our answers to the various questions raised by some residents and the City of Roseville, and our genuine good faith effort to address the concerns expressed. Bradley and Cub Foods stand behind these statements. No Access To Har Mar From Residential Streets - Ever . Bradley Real Estate will voluntarily place a restriction on its title to the Har Mar property, binding all future owners and enforceable by the City, forbidding any vehicular access to Har Mar from Ryan Avenue or any of the residential streets bofderii'ig Ho....M'arto-fh-e -east"' .

"No Access to Shopping Center" signs will continue to be posted on east/west residential streets at Hamline and north/south streets at Roselawn . Based upon its actual experience, Cub anticipates 24 truck deliveries per day on weekend days (including approximately 6 Supervalu semi-trucks) and 19 truck deliveries per day on weekdays (including 5 Supervalu semi-trucks) · All truck traffic will be routed to enter Har Mar from County Road B and exit on Snelling Avenue Noise Will Be Minimized .

Cub's dock area and trash compactors will be fully enclosed to reduce noise . Cub expects relatively few customer transoctions between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. (Woodbury's Cub averaged less than 15 transactions per hour on a Saturday) .
