MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 20, 1987
TO: Zoning and Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy S. Anderson & Jim Kerrigan /0{4
SUBJECT: Traffic from Super Valu site
At the last Zoning and Planning meeting the Commission
delayed action on the Super Valu truck maintenance facility
in order to allow the applicant and staff time to
investigate the potential impact of increased truck traffic
thru the Park Valley neighborhood. It appears there is a
problem presently with trucks using Fifth Street South and
Second Avenue South to get to the Highway 18 interchange in
this area.
It should first be noted that most of the trucks now using .
this route are independents. Super Valu management has
directed their drivers to use other routes.
Secondly, the truck maintenance facility as proposed will
basically only generate traffic between the main warehouse
site and this facility. Therefore no additional traffic
would be routed thru the Park Valley area as a result of
this facility.
In order to address concerns of Park Valley, Super Valu has
prepared a plan to internally route this traffic between the
two sites. The dark arrows on the plan (see attached)
indicate the route the trucks will take when possible. The
trucks will enter from the northern part of the site by the
Country Club warehouse and proceed along the westerly site
line. The trucks will leave the site along the easterly
site line by the loading dock area of the perishable
building. The applicant is predicting that the trucks will
only be able to use this exit 50% of the time during the day
because of the congestion in the loading dock area. At
night all Super Valu trucks should be able to use the
internal route. The other alternative is to go out to Fifth
Street to 6th Avenue.
Super Valu has indicated on the vicinity map which is
enclosed, the route the trucks will take going to the
Jefferson site and Highway 18. The trucks will only use
Fifth Street South to 6th Avenue.
At this time the staff feels that the applicant be allowed
to implement the plan as presented. If at some future date
there is an intensification of truck traffic south thru Park
Valley, other alternatives will have to be analyzed.
