REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval: City Mana�er �� �aTE: ol/lo/os ITEM NO: A�enda Section: Item Description: A request by Rottlund Companies for an AMENDMENT to the'I'fnTIN LAKES MASTER SITE PLAN, PRELIMINARY PLAT, REZOIVING, and GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED LJrTIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN for the redevelopment of a portion (PHASE 1) of the Twin Lakes Business Park (PF3595), Continued from December 20,2004 meetin� NntP. On December 20,2004, the Council continued this issue to January 10, 2005 pending further investigation of a new Parkway design which was discontinuous (was broken into 2 separated portions). Staff was directed to review this possibility with the developer. In t�.u�, city staff reviewed the traffic impacts with trafiic engineers SRFe Steve Wilson and County Engineer Dan Soler. Attached is a report from SRF and comments from Dan Soler. In their judgment, the proposal to cut the parkway into two separate sections does the following: 1) creates negative changes in the traffic impacts and the AUAR configuration; 2) places mare traffic on Fairview and D; 3) eliminates a reliever to County C and puts mare traffic on County Road C, requiring new double left coniigurations; 4) creates too many Twin Lakes internal trips which must enter and exit County C; 5) changes to Arthur Street making it a right-in, right out entrance; and, � makes it doubtful that the separated parkway would be eligible far municipal state aids to the City. In summary, staff and consultants recommend retaining a continuous parkway ituu� Cleveland to Lincoln to Snelling. Also attached ate comments {Ol/05/05) from Tim Whitten, Rottlund, regarding toad placement. i.0 REOUEST: 1,1 Rofflund Homes, Master Developer for Twin Lakes, proposes an 80 acre development consisting of 30 acres of residentialuses (730 units), 10 acres of office uses (221,000 square feet of building), 30 acres of retail and restaurant uses ��,� square feet of building), and 10 acres of new road right of way and ponding�public area.
