Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried. g. Planning File 3473: Request by the Minnesota State Fair for an amendment to their Interim Use Permit to include two additional park-and-ride sites (Centennial United Methodist Church, 1524 County Road C-2, and Roseville Lutheran Church, 1215 Roselawn Avenue). Vice Chair Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated May 7,2003. The Minnesota State Fair seeks an amended Interim Use Permit (approved 3/4/02) to allow the operation of two additional park and ride lots (Centennial United Methodist Church and Roseville Lutheran Church), which if approved, the total number of park and ride sites will increase to nine. Based on the information provided, the Community Development staff recommends approval of the additional two sites into the existing Interim Use Permit, allowing for temporary off-street parking of vehicles and bus transportation to the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, Centennial United Methodist Church (206 stalls), 1524 County Road C-2, and Roseville Lutheran Church (215 stalls), 1215 Roselawn Avenue, subject to the following conditions: a. The hours of operation at each of the seven sites are limited from 8 a.m. to midnight during the 12-day Minnesota State Fair. b. Each site must have a minimum of one portable restroom that is cleaned on a regular basis (every four days). c. Each site must have trash containers appropriately placed throughout the site to encourage use. Each trash container must be emptied daily. d. Each site must be monitored (walked by volunteer staff) hourly between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and every half hour between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and midnight. e. Each site is allowed directional signage and a "lot full" not exceeding 28 inches by 36 inches. Directional signage must be placed on the site directing users away from local residential streets. Set up and take down of directional signage and other pertinent information must take place daily. f. All bus traffic must take place on collector or arterial roads. g. The City has the ability, should certain altercations, events or issues arise, to shut down a lot if deemed necessary by the City Manager of his/her assignee. h. The Community Development staff, based on citizen complaints, will administratively review each IUP to determine whether modifications are necessary and forward for appropriate action. i. The Interim Use Permits have a four year time line expiring in September 2006. j. Each site must have a certificate of insurance with the Minnesota Risk Management Division for liability. Thomas Paschke explained that six emails opposing the Roseville Lutheran site were received. Most comments deal with increased traffic, hours of operation and busses in residential area, garbage and cars parked on the streets. Member Traynor asked if there was a neighborhood meeting prior to the IUP hearing (no). Vice Chair Mulder asked how long these permits would be available (four years and running continuous with the other seven park and ride lots). Thomas Paschke explained the past experience with Bethany Baptist and St. Rose of Lima. Thomas Paschke explained conditions of managing the sites by the State Fair. Member Ipsen asked how many IUP park and ride sites there are in Roseville? (Seven). Steven Grans, Transportation Coordinator of the State Fair, explained the process of park and ride establishment. There is no permission to park overnight. Rowdy behavior is coordinated by fair staff with notice to local police. Member Bakeman asked about bus routes: Roseville Lutheran - Roselawn to Lexington, through Como Park, St. Rose of Lima stays on Hamline; Centennial- C2 to Hamline to Covenant Church to Hamline to Fair site. Member Traynor asked if other sites were adjacent to City Parks (High School). Member Traynor asked what hours and week days? Member Bakeman noted that the Centennial parking lot driveways are narrow.
