Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 16, 2015 Page 29 Mr. Moston expressed appreciation in working through this partnership with the City of Roseville and moving forward with this project to transform Rosedale Center. Mr. Moston responded to several questions raised tonight. Metro Transit Mr. Moston advised that JLL continued to ineet with Metro Transit to address the impact at Rosedale Center and the community as a whole. Mr. Moston noted that Metro Transit's current proposal was to increase their presence at Rosedale and better serve community customer's. Mr. Moston assured the public and Coun- cilmembers that JLL would continue to dialogue with them, and anticipated good things to come out of those discussions for the future that would serve to mitigate soine of the current regional traffic issues. Outlots and Traffic Studv Mr. Moston advised that traffic studies had originally been done for two of the outlots, those adjacent to the new addition and AMC Theater. Subsequent to that, Mr. Moston advised that more outlots were added as prospective in that area in the future, with no users yet identified. Mr. Moston advised that JLL had contracted with the firm Kimley-Horn to per- form that traffic research; with the perception that other outlots would have less impact than the initial two outlots based on the density of uses hitting that particu- lar corner and intersections as identified by the City as needing the most attention and having the most impact on other intersections in that area. While this didn't address all of the questions raised by the City Council, Mr. Moston stated that un- til that traffic study was fully defined, he was attempting to provide a quick take on those initial questions. Sidewalk Issue Mr. Moston noted that Public Worlcs Director Culver had addressed this question. Off-Site Improveinents Mr. Moston referenced staffls comments and potential capping of costs on outlots and off-site improvements at the request of JLL. Mr. Moston assured all that JLL was happy to contribute to those improvements, in the approximately range of up to $400,000. However, since those proposed improvements have yet to be fully vetted by MnDOT and Ramsey County, Mr. Moston asked that the City define the amount of anticipated cost involvement for JLL inoving forward. If no cap of $400,000 is established by agreement, Mayor Roe asked if that would be considered a deal-brealcer from JLL's perspective. Mr. Moston responded that JLL;s rationale in requesting this cap was simply try- ing to quantify their exposure and define which of those improvements were with- in the control of JLL and those that were out of JLL's control, until Ramsey
