Duane C. Grace--Building Official City of Saint Anthony,Minnesota 4375 McMenemy Street Vadnais Heights,Minnesota 55127-6003 Phone - 490-0142 Building Official Fax. 490=7869 27 December 1995 Mr. Larry Hamer- City of Saint Anthony,MN Mr. Jack Amdal, AIA-Vice President;KKE Architects Re: Super Value store -•Apache Shopping Center,. Gentlemen: A few comment based upon our meeting of this afternoon,between we three iegdiding the above project. The present plans are to subdivide the property, creating one lot for the new Super Valise store and one lot for the present Mall building, after removing a portion of the northerly end of the present building. Plans at this time are to remove eZerything from the most northerly end of the structure down to the South wall of the J.C. Penny store. Other lbts would be created on this large site; but they do not affect these two structures for purposes of these comments; The Super Value store will be constructed with 60 ft, of open area all around the structure and a fully automatic fire suppressions system in.order to qualify for the unlimited area options of the present Minnesota State.Buildf ng Code. Future plans are to expand the building by some over 12,000 sq. ft. and in n-a Southerly direction,thereby taking up this 60 ft. of open space. The present Mall building, after the demolition to the northerly portion will be requesting a variance for a zero lot Roo configuration on the North line. The balance of the building will have the required 60 A.:all around with theTfully automatic fire suppression system, No plans at this time have requested'an opening between the two parcels of land. We stated that the renovation of the present Mall should include a TWO-hour(2) area separation wall to be constructed on that.pottion of the northerly wall of the renovated Mall building, that is at right angles to the East west exterlor walls of the Super Value store, This wall need to include an exteAsion of a rimirumum of Five feet beybnd those points of termination of the southerlypordons of the east west walls of the Super Value store, at the northerly wall of the l 61. This wl needs to conform td the requirements of UBC Section 504.6., I have no problem with the request.for a variancc to,the zoning ordinance to create this zero lot line configuration, .
