4.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: 4.1 The request by the Minnesota State Fair anticipates seven separate Interim Use Permits, one for each of the seven proposed park & ride sites, and each with certain conditions of use and operation. 4.2 The Fair has operated park & ride facilities at the requested sites and others in Roseville for many years. However, last year the City received telephone calls from residents adjacent to one of the proposed sites (Bethany Baptist Church) complaining about vehicle noise and Fair patron conduct. The complaint prompted the Community Development Department to review and discuss the situation with Steve Grans, Transportation Coordinator for the Minnesota State Fair. The conclusion of our meeting was to proceed through the Interim Use Permit process, attempting to formalize and shape park and ride usage in Roseville eliminating their previously unregulated use. 4.3 Each of the seven proposed park & ride lots includes the following items: • Staffing provided by Minnesota State Fair employees and volunteer groups that are paid by the Fair. Staffing needs are dependent on the size of the site and the number of spaces provided. • Two-way radio communication with park & ride supervisor (hourly radio security checks beginning at 8 p.m.). • Provision of portable restrooms and trash containers (emptied daily). Minnesota State Fair responsible for cleaning lots. • 10 foot by 10 foot tent to provide shade for those waiting for transportation to Fair Grounds. • Information and directional signage set-up and removed by park & ride personnel. Directional signage is limited to 2-1/2 foot by 3 foot signs directing people and vehicles on to each site and "lot full' signs places at each entrance for patron convenience. • Coach or transit bus service to operate in 15 to 20 minute intervals from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day during the Fair. Bus service contracted with Metro Transit and/or Lorenz Bus Company. • Provision by each properiy owner of a certificate of insurance with the State of Minnesota Risk Management Division for liability. 4.4 Minnesota State Fair has included letters of intent from each property owner (Bethany Baptist Church, Church of Corpus Christi, Grace Church of Roseville, Roseville Covenant Church, Roseville Area High School, St. Michael's Lutheran Church, and The Church of St. Rose) for a park & ride in 2002 (August 22 to September 2). 4.5 A site plan and photos of each site taken during the 2001 State Fair have been submitted for informational purposes.
