This decision indicated that the <br />Centre Poit�te Business development did not have the "potential for significant <br />en �wonmct�al �". The intent of this letter is to assure the.City of Roseville that the <br />proposed development ofLot 4, Block � of the Centre Point Business will be in <br />accor�danc�e � t�� ,origit►al EAW and the anticipated changes in land use will result in <br />no potential for �nificant environmental effects. Substantially, the context of this letter <br />will focua on the "Scoping Decision" section of the original EAW. <br />Traffic Analysis <br />A ttaffic study �vas cot�ducted as part of the original EAW for the Centre Point Business <br />Park. Tbe study �on+ch�tded that Cleveland Avenue could effectively accommodate the <br />traffic generated by the developed Business Park. The original development did not <br />assume a development such as the proposed hotel site. <br />RLK has ro�viewed the orignal traffic study prepared by BRW. The following is a <br />comparison o�th� ptroppsod Centre Pointe Business Park development with the BRW <br />base line trs�'ic study condueted `March 24, 1997 for Cleveland Avenue. Attached are <br />tables that cwnpare.the BRW traffic generation estim�tes to the proposed hotel <br />development. <br />Proposed changes that differ $om the BRW study include; an increase in General Office <br />space, elimination of'the Showroom/Warehouse use, a decrease in the size of the <br />Of�ces: Hibbing .
