<br />4.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: <br /> <br />4.1 The request by the Minnesota State Fair anticipates seven separate Interim Use Permits, <br />one for each of the seven proposed park & ride sites, and each with certain conditions of <br />use and operation. <br /> <br />4.2 The Fair has operated park & ride facilities at the requested sites and others in Roseville <br />for many years. However, last year the City received telephone calls from residents <br />adjacent to one of the proposed sites (Bethany Baptist Church) complaining about vehicle <br />noise and Fair patron conduct. The complaint prompted the Community Development <br />Department to review and discuss the situation with Steve Grans, Transportation <br />Coordinator for the Minnesota State Fair. The conclusion of our meeting was to proceed <br />through the Interim Use Permit process, attempting to formalize and shape park and ride <br />usage in Roseville eliminating their previously unregulated use. <br /> <br />4.3 Each of the seven proposed park & ride lots includes the following items: <br /> <br />· Staffing provided by Minnesota State Fair employees and volunteer groups that <br />are paid by the Fair. Staffing needs are dependent on the size of the site and the <br />number of spaces provided. <br /> <br />· Two-way radio communication with park & ride supervisor (hourly radio security <br />checks beginning at 8 p.m.). <br /> <br />· Provision of portable restrooms and trash containers (emptied daily). Minnesota <br />State Fair responsible for cleaning lots. <br /> <br />· 10 foot by 10 foot tent to provide shade for those waiting for transportation to <br />Fair Grounds. <br /> <br />· Information and directional signage set-up and removed by park & ride personnel. <br />Directional signage is limited to 2-1/2 foot by 3 foot signs directing people and <br />vehicles on to each site and "lot full' signs places at each entrance for patron <br />convemence. <br /> <br />· Coach or transit bus service to operate in 15 to 20 minute intervals from 8 a.m. to <br />10 p.m. each day during the Fair. Bus service contracted with Metro Transit <br />and/or Lorenz Bus Company. <br /> <br />· Provision by each property owner of a certificate of insurance with the State of <br />Minnesota Risk Management Division for liability. <br /> <br />4.4 Minnesota State Fair has included letters of intent from each property owner (Bethany <br />Baptist Church, Church of Corpus Christi, Grace Church of Roseville, Roseville <br />Covenant Church, Roseville Area High School, St. Michael's Lutheran Church, and The <br />Church of St. Rose) for a park & ride in 2002 (August 22 to September 2). <br /> <br />PF3370 RPCA (02/06/02) - Page 2 of 4 <br />
