E. January 28, 1985 MEMO To: Ron Moorse Fron.: James Dougherty, Fire Chief Subject: Loehmann's Plaza Development • I would like to take a moment to again express my deep concern of the proposed exits from Loehnmann's Plaza. Our concerns are threefold and are as follows: 1. It is my understanding that the farthest north entrance into Loehmann's Plaza is proposed to be directly across from the apparatus apron at fire station number two on Fairview Avenue with a marked turn lane to allow southbound traffic to enter the Plaza. I sincerely hope that thi: arrangement can be corrected. If allowed, my vehicles would have to travel some distance against southbound traffic on an already very busy street, if people were waiting to make a left turn into the complex against northbound traffic. Conclusion: the northernmost entrance on Fairview for Loehmann's Plaza be changed to an "Exit Only" onto Fairview Avenue and that no turn lane be constructed or marked in front of the emergency vehicle apron at fire station number two. 2. It is also my understanding that there will possibly be two additional traffic lights added to the area on American Street and Fairview and on County Road B2. Conclusion: that traffic lights that are added to this area be so con- structed with emergency vehicle traffic control receivers (Opticom) that they are working and functional at the same time the lights are placed into service as not to cause delay to emergency vehicles due to an increase in traffic from both Loehmann's Plaza and Pavillion Place. 3. Currently, understudy by the Traffic Safety Committee of the City of Roseville are concerned of increased traffic on Fairview in front of fire station number two as spelled out in my memo to the City Council dated January 4, 1985 (copy attached). I am awaiting a reply from that Committee at this time. We wish to see that this development progresses, but we also need to be able to function around it without undo hardship to my People in relation to emergency vehicle operations and/or hardships that could be caused by our delayed emergency response. cc: Bruce Ryden Deputy Chief Chief Two
