Vehicle Information Total estimated vehicle trips per day 3,400 Existing vehicle trips (in or out of SuperAmerica) - peak hour 281 Vehicle trips per day increase for liquor store 100 (3.5%) Number of Parking spaces (east - 21, west 16, pumps - 21) 58 b. Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities: Use of the SuperAmerica site as an off-sale liquor store will not impact Lexington Park or the Roseville Park System; the use will not significantly impact Lexington Avenue or County Road B; and the use will not impact other public facilities. First, infonnation received from the Chief of Police and Park & Recreation Director supports the notion that off-sale liquor sales at SuperAmerica will not create an increased use of Lexington Park. There may be a misconception that alcohol sales at this location will promote public drinking and drunkenness in Lexington Park. However, there is no means available to research or study this perception or conclude that this activity will actually occur. The Park and Recreation Department reports the only significant alcohol consumption in Roseville Parks has been during programmed events, such as adult softball tournaments and there has not been a known instance of illegal alcohol consumption in any of the parks near off-sale liquor stores. Second, traffic will increase slightly at SuperAmerica by an estimated 100 additional trips per day. However, the Consultant anticipates that 75% to 80% of the liquor store customers will be at the site for either gasoline or convenience items. Lastly, the Community Development Department does not anticipate any impact to other public facilities, such as water, sanitary sewer, police and fire calls. c. Compatibility of the site plan, internal circulation, landscaping and structures with contiguous properties: Use of the SuperAmerica site as an off-sale liquor store is compatible with the existing site plan, has a minimal impact on internal circulation, requires no additional landscaping, and the structure and use have previously been determined to be compatible with contiguous properties. First, the liquor store component only requires remodeling of the interior ofthe current structure and the change in use does not require additional on-site parking spaces (both uses require 5/1,000 sq. ft. of floor area or 30 on-site spaces for the 6,000 sq. ft. structure). The site has an existing 37 parking spaces, not counting the 21 at the pump islands. Second, the Consultant has reviewed the site's internal circulation and concluded that there are slight conflicts with delivery vehicles, but not with customer traffic. Patrons typically use the west parking lot, while the east parking lot has limited use. Having the liquor store entrance on the east side will minimize traffic and parking congestion during peak use. The Consultant further concludes that it is not necessary to seek a removal of the two access points nearest the County Road Band Lexington Avenue intersection. These accesses actually assist in properly relieving the PF3524 - RPCA 010704 - Page 3 of 5
