2A, Concept Review 1300 Grey Fox Road - Salvation Army Proposal

classroom, worship, meeting room, recreation and dining and residential living for 130 beneficiaries. A conceptual site configuration is attached. Scenario B: An approximately 10,000 - 15,000 square foot single or multi-story addition to the site to accommodate the administrative and chapel components of the use along with interior renovation within the existing building for a two level residential, classroom, recreation and dining operation. The 27+ foot interior wall heights allow the building to be converted to multi-level interior use as presently exists in a portion of the office space in the building. In recent years, The Salvation Army has developed and redeveloped ARC facilities in other locations throughout the country and the architectural concept and function that would be pursued with the Arden Hills plan is reflected in the images attached (Kansas City, MO; Omaha, NE; Romulus, MI). In either of the above scenarios, architectural consistency and aesthetic enhancements to the existing building and new structures would be incorporated into the design program. • Outdoor open/green space environment to blend with a campus-like operational setting; • Approximately 70-80 parking spaces for The Salvation Army employees, visitors and guests will be sufficient for the parking needs of the use (50-60 employees with different hours). The resident beneficiaries are not permitted to drive vehicles therefore no parking for the residential program is necessary. Site Considerations The site meets The Salvation Army's criteria from several perspectives: • A principally industrial use site to allow The Salvation Army to operate its processing center. On an annual basis, the center will process some 14 million pounds of donated household goods that will be sorted and distributed to The Salvation Army stores for resale. Goods that cannot be resold will be recycled, sold in bulk or disposed. The residential program and ancillary functions are integral yet accessory uses as the general programmatic/site use functions are as follows: Site Function,. r77 7777 j Iroz SF, A rox %o,4fSite` Tse; Warehouse/Processing 84,912 64% Administrative/Classroom/Support Functions 27,766 21% Residential Program 19,833 15% TOTALS 132,511 100% • The proximity to convenient highway transportation networks supports the daily use function of the warehouse and distribution operation (approximately 64 commercial vehicle trips per day) and approximately ten semi-trailer truck deliveries per week;
