PURPOSE AND ISSUES ADDRESSED Bradley Real Estate, Inc, is proposing to establish a new Cub Food Store at the Har Mar Mall in the City of Roseville. This store, which would be about 68,000 sq. ft. in size, would replace the fonner Homeplace Store, which occupied 54,500 sq. ft. Through discussions with City staff, City officials, and nearby residents, questions have arisen regarding the traffic and parking implications of the new Cub Food Store. We have carefully addressed each of the questions raised. The purpose of this report is to present the results of our traffic and parking studies and our responses to the issues raised. Based on participation at a meeting with City staff and on review of traffic and parking comments provided by interested persons, we have organized the comments raised into the following principal issues: · Effects of Cub Food Store on overall traffic conditions on nearby roadways · Adequacy of traffic circulation on east side of Har Mar Mall · Adequacy of traffic operations on entrance to/from Snelling A venue · Adequacy of operations for trucks · Adequacy of parking, both on the south side of the proposed Cub Food Store and on the Har Mar site as a whole The next section of this report addresses the basic traffic and parking characteristics of the proposed Cub Food Store. This section is followed by responses to each of the issues, and the last section presents our overall conclusions. BASIC TRAFFIC AND PARKING CHARACTERISTICS FOR CUB FOOD STORE The expected trip generation characteristics for the Cub Food Store are addressed in a letter from Glen VanWonner of the SEH firm to Debra Bloom of the City of Roseville, dated February 19, 1999. In his letter, Mr. Van W onner indicates his expectation that the Cub Store will generate about 5,500 daily vehicle trip ends, of which about 20% will be either internal (i.e. a trip that already is making a stop at the Har Mar Mall) or pass-by (i.e. trips that already are occurring on Snelling Ave. or County Road B). Thus, Mr. VanWonner estimates that the Cub Store will generate a total of 4,400 net new trip ends per day. 2
