<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />Pagetlo <br /> <br />Wednesday, May 3, 1989 <br /> <br />Maschka informed the Commission that he had visited the Southdale <br />site and observed a dark feeling within the ramp and that because <br />of the location of the lighting, there were dark spots in the <br />ramp. Maschka added that the materials of the ramp does not <br />blend in with the existing building materials at Southdale. <br />Maschka also pointed out that the concrete columns used on the <br />ramp do not match the other materials of the ramp. Maschka <br />questioned the weight restrictions on the upper level of the <br />parking ramp. The architect replied that the ramp would be <br />structured to handle fire vehicles on the interior driving isle <br />but that cars only would be allowed in the field of parking. The <br />architect pointed out that the overhead devices and other signage <br />would prevent large vehicles from getting onto their ramp. <br /> <br />DeBenedet pointed out that pick up and small emergency vehicles <br />could be restricted by the weight limits and that the 7' 6" <br />clearance would also restrict ambulances from reaching the upper <br />level of the ramp. The architect replied that pickups would not <br />be restricted. <br /> <br />DeBenedet asked about storm drainage and whether or not there <br />would be a sediment problem in the area. <br /> <br />Keel responded that the rate of run off would be approximately <br />the same. Keel stated that the drainage goes to the pond behind <br />Loehmann's and that a sediment sump system could be installed. <br /> <br />DeBenedet pointed out that at the neighborhood meeting, there was <br />discussion concerning additional lanes to get people out of the <br />site. DeBenedet wondered if there had been further studies <br />concerning this. <br /> <br />Koski replied that this issue was studied and would be done by <br />providing two lanes to turn right onto B-2 and Snelling. <br /> <br />DeBenedet asked about providing an additional through lane. <br /> <br />Koski responded that the four lane road is considered and that <br />there is space to handle a proper lane configuration for the ring <br />road. <br /> <br />DeBenedet asked if any additional lanes would be put in. <br />responded that they would. <br /> <br />Koski <br /> <br />DeBenedet asked for clarification of existing pathway locations. <br /> <br />Koski clarified pathway locations and pointed out that it would <br />be best to abandon the path on the east side of Fairview, south <br />of the first entrance. <br />
