f 2/21/06 S &T Development 11751 Troy Lane North Maple Grove, MN 55369 City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Attn: Kim Moore-Sykes RE: Application to building office/retail building under the C zoning ordinance. The proposed building at 3XXX Silver Lake Road is being designed to have (4) individual users having a main level square footage of approx. 1450/sf and a lower level square footage of 1450/sf. Each end user will ownership of the unit under a condominium plat with an outlot owned equally by an association run by the four entities in ownership. This structure of ownership has been done around the Twin City metro area and has been a very hot piece of real estate for a company to own space for themselves for a wide variety of reasons. The main issues in having a successful project is the floor space provided and the parking spaces directly related to each owner. First, the floor space, as developers of this product we have found to have the most flexibility is for each unit to be at 32' wide. Some projects have been done at 30' wide and were successful, however, 32' is ideal. Office layout with workstations and bathroom layout work best at 32'. Second,parking is a requirement for each owner to feel like they have adequate parking. Under surveys provided by others made available to me the minimum amount of parking required based on the users attracted to these condos' is (8) parking stalls per unit. These same users are those as described in the ordinance of the City of St. Anthony. From a calculation standpoint,the first level is usually designed to have no more than(4) offices (2)bathrooms, receptionist, waiting and copy area. The lower level has a HVAC room which occupies 200 to 250sf of space and the balance of the space is designed as conference room, break room another bathroom which leaves room for 2-3 offices.
