Code. The proposal currently includes a storm management pond adjacent to County Road B2 at the Mervyn's/Herberger's access and an underground pipe gallery system. The pipe gallery system is proposed as a means to meet the development's storm water management requirement and will store undergroundparking lot runoff to eliminate contaminants. Drainage will be disbursed into the existing system via a direct pipe connection. Annual maintenance is required on this new approach to the water storage and quality system. 5.8 The plans include the incorporation of a plaza extending from the east unuer level main mall entrance at Big Bowl and Romano's Macaroni Grill, easterly to the theater and on the north side lower level from the mall entrance at Green Mill easterly to the theater. 5.9 The proposed improvements will include building materials consistent with the City Code (Section 1010, Design Standards) including brick, stone, rock-faced block, E.EI.S., and metal. 5.10 Unique to this proposal is the design of the addition.

Major changes or the elimination of this system would require a change to the City's Comprehensive Plan and would require Metropolitan Council approval. 6.2 Specifically, Section 5— Transportation of the Roseville Comprehensive Plan states: "The Rosedale Shopping Center serves as a major transit hub for the Metro Council fixed bus routes. The hub was created by the City at the initiative of the Regional Transit Board (RTB) (this since has become Metro Transit). Rosedale is a typical transit hub facility. It consists of a bus staging area, two passenger facilities, and a park-and-ride lot". "The Rosedale hub is the focal point for suburban transit services, and links these services to the two downtowns and to other suburban areas in the regional transit system. This hub is the 5�' busiest in the Metropolitan Area with 536 bus trips daily (2001)". Subsection H(Transit and Travel Demand Management) states: "The Rosedale Shopping Center functions as a transit hub for all MTC, University of Minnesota and community circulator buses. It provides a 300 parking space park-and-ride facility, which although sizeable, is inadequate to meet the needs of transit riders using this major transit PF3608_RCA_GeneralConcept_122004 Page 4 of 20
