Mr. Reed Banet -5- June 18, 1986 If this median opening on Lexington Avenue cannot be closed, then it is suggested that access/egress for the Lexington Pima Shopping Center be revised so that no access would be provided at this median opening loca- tion. but rather that one curb cut would be located south of the median opening and a second curb cut would be located north of the median opening. Placement of the southerly driveway for the Lexington Plaza Shoppes about 20 feet north of the location shown In the current site plan. The driveway design would include a triangular Island and appropriate signage so that It would serve right turns In and nut only. This elan Is preferable to the option of locating the drive- way opposite "'tonne Avenue to avoid Interference with northbound traffic on Lexington Avenue. dust south of Dionne Avenue. only one wide northbound lane presently Is provided for Lexington Avenue. Under this circum- stance left turns from the south Into the Lexington Plaza Shoppes site would create serious potential for delays and hazards for northbound traffic on Lexington Avenue. The proposed access ptan would avoid these difficulties. Further. the pri-nosed ac:cass Plan better motets the needs for Internal c i ++cu l yet l on within the Lexington Plaza Shoppes site. Regarding thG norther t y access For the Lexington Plaza Shopper. two ootiont have been Identified: A) Create one common access Point opoos i to Roma Avenue that would serve both the Robert Paul TV Store and that Lexington P i c za Shoppes. B a Create a new sep-crate access Point for the Lexing- ton P l aza Shoppei that would be reasonably separ- atod from the access For, the Robert Paul site. Our s l c preference would be for option A. provided that It would reas,onabiv meet the access and circula- tion needs for the two ,Properties. Specifically, we suggest the following two-step process to resolve this Item. 1) Prc pare a Ilse reap that accurately shows the Lexington Plaza Shoppes site plan, Roma Avenue and the Robert Paul site layout. 2; identify specific alternative access solutions. Evaluate these alternatives and reach concurrence among the involved property owners, City of Rose- ville. and Ramsey County regarding the access solutions that should be implemented.
