Bradford Schools, Inc., Case No. 1909 Page 2 3. With respect to access conditions as they relate to emergency vehicles, we are informed by the Fire Marshal, John Nisja, that he approved of the proposed turn -around facility at the southeast corner of the townhouse development. However, we suggest that no access be provided to Grandview based on the first stage of construction. Such access should only be provided upon completion of the development in its final form. 4. We have encore, aged the traffic consultants to provide background data as to the origin of the trips anticipated to and from the school. For this purpose, they have added a map to their report that shows the location of the students attending the facility now located on 117 West County Road B. You will note that more students come from the Roseville area than any other area and that the facility seems to service primarily the northeast metropolitan suburban area. 5. With respect to parking, 85 parking spaces are proposed for the 24 townhouse units to be occupied by the students. Bradford Schools note that this is the right amount of parking based on their experience of running such schools in other parts of the country (and Roseville). 6. It is interesting to note that the eight unrelated students occupying a sir~:rle townhouse unit constitutes two families as defined in the Roseville Zoning Code. A family is defined as "one or more persons each related to the other by blood, marriage, or adoption, or a group of not more than four persons (nr` related) together with their domestic servant, or gratuitous guests, maintaining a common household and using common, cooking and kitchen facilities." Thus, the eight students constitute a theoretical family of two. If we are providing two parking spaces per family unit, the number of families would constitute 40 in 24 townhouse units, and the number of parking spaces theoretically required would consequently require 96. Therefore, the 85 spaces proposed are within the requirement. This is, of course, all theory. What really counts is the automobile possession and parking policies established by the school for its students. 7. Attached with this submission jA a new plan indicating the way in which the additional garages would be added to the townhouse: complex in the '- event that they are disassuciated with the ;school. The: new -plan shows 40 garages providing 48 parking spacers. The Ordinance requires that there should be one garage space per each unit. Linder these circumstances there should be total parking accommodation, exclusive of the space in front of a garage, for 48 cars. The space in front of the garage can and will be used for visitor parking. 8. With respect to traffic capacities, traffic generation, and turning movements, it appears that the most significant factor is that tho peak flour for vehicles leaving the site will be generally from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. rather than coinciding with the normal peak hour of traffic on the public street system from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. It would appear that left turn movements exit' g the site on Lexington Avenue will be the critical factor. The tr 'ic analysis concludes that under these conditions, the traffic will be wanageable as long as these hours remain as such. It appears that this may well be thT.: case.
