This will allow <br /> for the expansion of the free-standing restaurants (2535 & • <br /> 2585 Highway 10), and a 5,000 square foot addition to the <br /> MENDOTA PLAZA shopping center. The attached plan shows the location and <br /> State Hwy. 110&Dodd Road size of the expansion areas. <br /> Mendota Heights,Minnesota p <br /> A. Moundsview Square feels that the current parking code <br /> for a shopping center district is to restrictive. In our <br /> MOUNDSVIEW SQUARE experience of shopping center development a 4.25 ratio <br /> Hwy. 10&Long Lake Road will be sufficient for a communitycenter of this size. <br /> Mounds View,Minnesota <br /> Paster Enterprises manages nine shopping centers in the <br /> metropolitan area. In these centers the parking ratio per <br /> NORTHWAY SHOPPING CENTER one thousand square feet ranges from 3.63 to 6.16 <br /> State Hwy.23 &Woodland with an average of 4.8. The 4.25 ratio that is <br /> Circle Pines.Minnesota <br /> requested falls within this range. <br /> The shopping center's shared parking among a number <br /> SIBLEY PLAZA of tenants reduces the effective parking ratio. For <br /> West 7th Street&Davern instance, a single use site must meet the peak parking <br /> St.Paul,Minnesota <br /> demand of that individual business. In a shopping <br /> center with multiple uses the peak demands of the <br /> tenants come at different times, thus lowering the • <br /> SOUTHVIEW SHOPPING CENTER overall parking requirement of the center. <br /> Southview Blvd.& 13th Ave. S <br /> South St.Paul,Minnesota <br />
