Box 13292 <br /> Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> RE: Access to Woodale Dr. for Mounds View Business Park South <br /> Dear Rick: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to present the findings of our traffic review for the current <br /> proposed plan for Mounds View Business Park South. For the purpose of this review, <br /> we have related to all our prior traffic analyses for this project. The overall traffic <br /> implications of the current development plan will be less than originally anticipated <br /> because the current total proposed size of the development is smaller than originally <br /> approved. <br /> Based on this overall traffic finding and the characteristics of the current site plan, we <br /> have concluded that the previously approved access location on Woodale Drive will be <br /> appropriate for the current development. This access location is immediately west of <br /> the island which has been constructed on Woodale Dr. In our judgement this driveway <br /> will function effectively relative to traffic operations on Woodale Dr. and within the <br /> site. The intention is for outgoing traffic to be subject to stop sign control so that <br /> incoming traffic will flow smoothly. <br /> The driveway referenced above would function adequately as the sole access on <br /> Woodale Dr. A suggestion to further improve traffic operations would be to add a <br /> second driveway in the northwest corner of the site. This driveway would be intended <br /> specifically for trucks servicing Buildings H and I. Two benefits of this driveway are: <br /> ▪ Ii N,szn d provide more direct ingress and egress for trucks <br /> . It would reduce conflicts with other traffic at the main site driveway to the east <br /> In the context of the findings presented above, we are confident that Woodale Dr. will <br /> be able to effectively accommodate the traffic generated by the Mounds View Business <br /> Park South. Let me know if you have any questions or comments about this traffic <br /> review. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> BENSHOOF & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> y.N.N . 4 , a <br /> James A. Benshoof, President <br />
