MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 27, 1994 <br />at Noon and 1,000 steadily each hour until approximately <br />3 P.M. Van Wormer reported that these figures were <br />compiled by the County in July of 1993. July typically <br />has heavier traffic counts than other months of the year. <br />At this point in the meeting, the Mayor opened the public <br />hearing up to comments from the general public. <br />George Zender, Country Drive resident, asked what the <br />traffic counts on Country Drive were. <br />Van Wormer replied that Country Drive counts are at about <br />5,000 to 6,000 per day. <br />Van Wormer reported that SEH also looked at on-site <br />circulation, and have some concerns for maneuvering of <br />tank and delivery trucks on the site. Van Wormer noted <br />that the same type of problem exists at the Sinclair <br />Station across the street, and Sinclair gets its <br />deliveries in the very early A.M. hours. <br />One resident stated that SEH's fiqures were assumptions <br />and the information should be based on actual traffic <br />counts. This resident reported that residents of Fluer <br />Royal have a very difficult time in getting out of their <br />property onto Little Canada Road. <br />Van Wormer reported that the traffic count information <br />used by SEH is based on actual traffic counts conducted <br />by Ramsey County last summer. Assumptions that were used <br />in so far as number of trips generated by SA, etc. were <br />based on fairly solid data collected at other SA <br />stations. <br />Don Kruszewski, Fluer Royal, reported on the difficulties <br />that Fluer Royal residents have in getting out of their <br />property. Kruszewski felt the additional traffic from <br />SuperAmerica would add to the problem. Kruszewski <br />pointed out that the traffic will not be controlled and <br />felt there would be an increase in traffic accidents in <br />the area. <br />Gene DeLonais, Planning Commission Chair, reported that <br />he and the Mayor discussed the SuperAmerica proposal with <br />the traffic engineer at Ramsey County. The engineer <br />informed them that there are 16,000 vehicles per day <br />using Little Canada Road and that figure has been <br />7 <br />
