47 Because of these facts, we request that the Zoning Ordinance requirements for parking in the Light Industrial District be changed to a level more consistent with surrounding communities and with the present and probable future use of the property. The proposed change is to one, space*for each 1000 square feet of building area, as it is Roseville, Arden Hills and Minneapolis. Attached is our surveyor's estimate of parking that can be provided on the current parking surface without the leased land. As the drawings show we can park 94 vehicles on the site. The building has a foot print area of 66458 square feet and 2nd floor office and lunchroom area of approximately 6000 square feet for a total of 72458 square feet. With the proposed revision to the Ordinance, we would be required to provide 72 spaces and we would be in excess of compliance by 22 spaces. With reference to the Ordinance requirement to have a total parking lot area of 300 square feet per parking place, we estimate we have 37000 square feet of parking surface as compared to 94 stalls times 300 square feet or 28000 square feet required. With approval of the requested Ordinance change, we will engage the surveyor to provide the City with parking lot detail as maybe required. We have discussed the= proposed ordinance change with Scott Tankenhoff of • Hillcrest Development who is presently involved in the only other significant development activity in St. Anthony at Apache. Hillcrest is supportive of the proposal. Considering that there are no other development sites in St. Anthony for light industrial use, the proposed change in the Ordinance will not create unanticipated future issues. We ask your support in the requested action to permit the continued redevelopment of the Apache area at both the animal clinic site and any future development that might accrue to the east involving the proposed Lot 3 and the now vacant Amoco site. 7� Kenneth Solie Date
