Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes October 18, 1994 Page 5 1 Hehr responded that there was a cross parking agreement with the rest of the mall for that area. 2 There are approximately 300 parking spaces in that area. 3 Franzese asked what kind of value would be added to the mall and to the City of St. Anthony by 4 the addition of the CUB and Knox businesses. She also inquired if there would be some type of 5 overhang for persons going between CUB and the mall to provide protection from the weather 6 since there would be no direct access. 7 Bill Maki reported that CUB was a big "draw" for consumers. People come to CUB an average 8 of 2 times per week, as compared to Target 1.7 per month. It was also stated that CUB does have 9 an overhang. An enclosure may also be an option. 10 Gondorchin inquired as to the number of new jobs that would be created by this redevelopment 11 and also if there was any screening proposed along the north side of the building. 12 It was reported that CUB estimates the creation of 250-275 new jobs, 40-60 being full-time. 13 Knox estimates 125-130 new jobs with 100 being full-time positions. The landscaping for the 14 area to the north has not yet been decided but there will definitely be some landscaping-in that 15 area. Bob Beduhn, Barr Engineering, reported on the proposed drainage systems for Apache Plaza. He 17 was charged to develop a drainage plan to capture to the extent possible, all storm water from the 18 site and get it into.pond areas to meet the Rice Creek Watershed District requirements. 19 Approximately 80%of the parking area drainage would be directed to sediment ponds. 20 Currently, all the storm water is draining east to west and is picked up in the storm sewers which 21 run deeper and deeper to connect into the trunk system and then enters into Silver Lake. The 22 proposed system will take the storm water from the CUB Foods area and proposed Knox area 23 and direct it into 3 pond areas which provide skimming and sediment removal. He explained that 24 in the detention ponds, water-sits in volume and allows for the sedimentation to drop to the 25 bottom. One of the proposed ponds has a small outlet which restricts the flow of water, 26 allowing the sediment to fall to the bottom for later removal. The sediment is then cleaned up 27 per a maintenance agreement between C.G. Rein an d the City of St. Anthony. This agreement 28 also allows for parking lot trash removal, maintenance of ponds and inspection to ensure proper 29 operation. There will not be a pond in the east area as the area is not suitable for pondage due to 30 the slopes. C.G. Rein Co. will build the ponds and provide the trunk sewer system to the parking 31 area owned by CUB and Knox. CUB and Knox will be responsible for tying into the system and 32 providing grades to get the drainage into the systems. 33 Bergstrom inquired regarding the depth of the detention ponds,the side slopes, and the average lb 34 depth of water retained in the pond. He asked if there would be any protection installed around the ponds, if a 10 year storm event capacity exists, and what the anticipated impact to off-site areas would be if a 25 year storm event occurred.
