ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Paget 9 Wednesday, May 3, 1989 Koski stated that 353 new parking spaces would be added and that the elevations of the site make the proposed ramp location the best. McChane stated that the elevations increase the exit options and relieve some pressure on the Fairview exit. McChane stated that the general time frame of the proposed improvements would be that there would be parking lot re-striping, utility relocation, and preparation of the site for the new Dayton's store and footing work for the south parking deck in 1989. In January of 1990, work would begin on the new Dayton's store and the south parking deck. The new Dayton's store and the total parking deck would be complete by August of 1991. The remodeling of the old Dayton's space would begin after the opening of the new Dayton's store and be completed in 1992. Keel commented about the proposed entrance relocation and pointed out that the County feels that the problems on Fairview are due to the design of the internal ring road and that they would be studying the proposed design on their own before approving the entrance relocation. Nisja stated that they had some access concerns for fire equipment on the new ramp. Nisja added that there is proposed in the 1991 capital improvement plan, the purchase of a smaller scale truck which could be used to fight fires anywhere on the parking ramp. Nisja also pointed out the need for additional hydrants on the west side by Dayton's. Maschka asked if the Dayton's store would be sprinklered and if there was a problem with the ramp being too close to the building. Nisja responded that the buildings would be sprinklered and that the location of the ramp was not a problem. Dennis Mooney from the Police Department summarized a report from the Police Department concerning parking ramp security including the need for increased visible patrols, strategically located wi th emergency phones, alarms, that there not be dark hidden areas for criminals to hide, that there be proper lighting in the 5-10 foot candle range and that there be area identification within the parking ramps. Johnson stated that the parking ramp security is a serious issue. Johnson added that there have been security problems in parking areas now and that we should not make the problem worse.
