I R ' � The City wa� somewhat ronfused about �ome of the additional lnformation requested by the Metropolitan Council. While the City attempted to cooperate and provide information, the information requested by the Metropolitan Council was not for the project which was before �he Counci�. The Council staff was asking for information about t, Rosedale and Rosedale Marketplace pro�ects which were moving forward but which did not require comprehensive plan amendments. In a sense, the Pavilion Place project was being held hostage in order to get information from other projects which did not require Metropolitan Council apprcval. The City did provide Metropolitan Council staff with a copy .of a letter from BRW, the traffic consultant fo.r the Pavilion Place center, which did conclude that the impact of the increased traffic from the Pa�:�lion place project would not be significant because the percent increase of traffic on Trunk Highway 36 and 35W would be significantly less than the traffic required to change the level of service. The City of Roseville acknowledges that traffic is becoming a more important issue and that more emphasis needs to be placed on 3etermining the impacts of increased traffic in the City. The City feels that the appropriate way for the City to look at this is through a major review of its comprehensive plan and through its response to the Metropolitan System Statement. In summary, the City of Roseville did not give final approval to the Pavilion Place expansion, did not approve any permits for new construction on and did not effectuate the rezoning until after April 24 whe� the Metropolitan Council staff indicated the City could i�nplement the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The City concluded in its review that the Pavilion Place shopping center would not advers�ly affect adjacent roadways and provided all information available to the Metropolitan Council staff. We concur �aith the eventual findings of Metropolitan Council staff that the Pavilion Place project would not adversely affect the Metropolitan highway system. The City will include an assessment �f the transportation in the Rosedale area as part of its review �f its comprehensive plan and its response to the Metropolitan C��uncil System Statement. The City of Roseville will con�:-in�se to submit plan amendments to the Council before giving finai approva].s to projects.
