Planning Commission Special Meeting Minutes • January 30, 1996 Page 4 1 The replatting of the property will allow for the creation of seven(7)retail lots and three (3) outlots 2 for the construction of storm water retention ponds. Lot 1 is being planned for the construction of 3 a 75,200 square foot Cub Food store; Lot 2 (First Bank), Lot 5 (Tires Plus), and Lot 6 (Taco Bell) 4 will be maintained in their existing retail use; and Lots 3 and 4 will be redeveloped for a single- 5 tenant or multi-tenant retail facilities. Lot 7 will contain the existing mall and the balance of the 6 property, all of which may be redeveloped at a later date. 7 The whole of the Apache Plaza Shopping Center is the district zoned for General Commercial. As 8 such, the commercial district requires that all lots have an area of at least 15,000 square feet and a 9 minimum width of 100 feet. Proposed Lot 1 has approximately 403,801.2 square feet and is 524.6 10 feet wide; proposed Lot 3 is approximately 61,419.6 square feet and is 235.31 feet wide; and 11 proposed Lot 4 is approximately 61,855.2 square feet and is 244.7 feet wide. Lot 2 is approximately 12 57,499.2 square feet and 179.3 feet wide; Lot 5 is approximately 56,628 square feet and 232.5 feet 13 wide; Lot 6 is approximately 34,412.4 square feet and 121.1 feet wide; and Lot 7 is approximately 14 1,433,559.6 square feet. Lots 2,5,6 and 7 have existing retail uses. According to the preliminary 15 plan, all lots meet the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance for lot size and width. 16 All lots as represented by the preliminary plat appear to have direct access to Silver Lake Road. The 17 developer is proposing to also create reciprocal easements for access,parking and utilities to serve IP9 the proposed lots and to permit the ultimate retail uses to function as a single shopping center. The City's attorney has advised that the City should condition any approval of the plat on the City's 20 review and approval of an agreement in recordable form before the plat is signed and released by the 21 City. 22 According to the City's Ordinance, Section 1650.05, adequate parking must be provided and is 23 determined based on the gross floor area of the building on the lot. SuperValu is proposing to build 24 a 75,200 square foot Cub Food store and providing 573 parking spaces. The ordinance requires that 25 there be one space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area. SuperValu, therefore, is required 26 to provide a minimum of 251 parking spaces. 27 The existing business on Lots 2, 5, 6 and 7 currently provide adequate parking. Since the size of the 28 structures to be built on Lots 3 and 4 is unknown at this time, it is not possible to determine the 29 minimum number of parking spaces that would be required under this section of the City Code. This 30 will be evaluated at the time that Ste. Marie Corporation provides the City with the site plans for 31 each of these lots. 32 The proposed Cub Foods building meets the required setback requirements of the City's Ordinance 33 as stated in Section 1635.05. If the subdivision of land is approved, the existing mall building on 34 Lot 7 will not meet the side yard setback requirement of 10 feet. The Ste. Marie Corporation has 35 applied for a sideyard setback variance of 10 feet. it Duane Grace, Building Inspector for the City, has advised that this "zero-lot line" is acceptable 37 according to the Uniform Building Code, provided that a two-hour rated fire wall be constructed,
