February 20, 2018 <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />additional risk for vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Vehicle exit/entry off of Stinson <br />Boulevard would present minimal risk for area vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic provided <br />entry/egress is limited to NB traffic only. If a crossover to SB Stinson Boulevard is constructed, <br />the risk potential would increase. It remains to be seen what influence the Minneapolis Park <br />Board will have in regards to traffic management on Stinson Boulevard. <br /> The layout of outdoor parking at this development should be consistent with other area <br />developments. It is recommended that the development allow for easy access for police patrol <br />cars, fire apparatus and local ambulance services. Provisions for emergency vehicle access <br />should allow for easy access/egress to the property. There should be continuity with regard to <br />pedestrian and vehicle circulation within the site, which will aid in police, fire and EMS response. <br />Turnarounds large enough to accommodate emergency vehicles and fire trucks should be <br />considered. Building entrances should be in close proximity to pedestrian walk ways and vehicle <br />parking areas. <br /> On street neighborhood parking on Stinson Boulevard and surrounding side streets, in St. <br />Anthony and Minneapolis, may be impacted by a development of this size. Care should be given <br />to future roadway design of Stinson Boulevard and Lowry Avenue/Kenzie Terrace. On street <br />parking on Lowry Avenue should be avoided due to roadway design in that area. Due care <br />should be taken in regard to a development of this size and existing residents as it pertains to <br />quality of neighborhood life concerns related to traffic, parking, noise and littering complaints. <br /> The demands a 430‐unit site puts on the police department can be projected in two ways. First, <br />a performance based approach to staffing that takes into account projected call load. Second, <br />and more common, is the average ratio of full time officers per 1,000 residents. The first, being <br />more accurate, would be appropriate to consider. Seeing how this development will be phased <br />in over multiple years, it will be important to do yearly monitoring of calls for service to this site <br />when making staffing decisions. <br /> <br />Hennepin County Transportation. Hennepin County reviewed the proposal, providing notes on the site <br />plan. Detailed review and comments are included as an exhibit. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY INPUT TO DATE <br />There has been much interest in this proposal, starting almost two years ago and continuing to‐date. <br />Staff has received over 100 emails since the sketch plan phase. Additionally, staff has spoken with many <br />residents and concerned neighbors and has summarized the concerns as follows: <br /> Concerns over the density and height of the proposal. The most common concern is the opinion <br />that the comprehensive plan should not be amended to accommodate this development and <br />that heights should be consistent with those around the site. <br /> Concerns over the loss of affordable housing. People have expressed the need to retain/replace <br />affordable housing on the site. <br /> Concerns over traffic and safety. People have stated the increase in traffic on Stinson Parkway <br />will reduce livability and increase congestion at key intersections. <br /> Concerns regarding views for existing Kenzington Terrace residents. People have expressed <br />concern over the reduction in views from their units. <br /> Concerns over tree removal.
