The height of a stepped or terraced building shall be the height of the tallest segment of the building. The seven proposed buildings do not exceed the 35 foot height limit. 9. Parking I Parking Setbacks - Meets requirement Section 6.F.l.j of the Zoning Ordinance requires I parking space for each 250 gross floor area for Business and Professional Office. With 62,432 square feet of office space, the parking standards would require 250 parking spaces. The applicant has proposed 250 parking spaces, which includes 13 ADA spaces (7 ADA spaces would be required). Minimum parking setbacks are five (5) feet from adjacent side and rear property lines and twenty (20) feet from the right-of-way line of any public street (Section 6.F.l.d.(4)-(5 of the Zoning Ordinance). The applicant proposes parking setbacks of30.5 feet from the east and 30.5 feet from the south (the access drive to Hamline gets as close as 5 feet from the south property line). Although the parking area is only 16.5 feet from the Ramsey County right-of-way, the 3.9 foot parking encroachment should have little impact on any other property owners. There is approximately 40 feet from the edge of the parking area to the edge of the trail and an additional 20 feet to the edge of Highway 96. The northern property line is approximately 45 feet from the edge of Highway 96. . At the July 26, 2006, community meeting to discuss this proposal with adjacent properties, thcrc was a suggcstion of removing an undetermined number of parking spaces to provide spacc for landscaping within the parking area. For example, a median with trees or other plantings could be eonstructed in the place of some parking spaces. Since the details of this idea have not been diseussed with the applicant, eonditions have not been prepared to reduce the number of parking spaces to increase landscaping. 10. Traffic, Access, and Circulation - Meets requirement A. Access Proposal The proposed office development would have one access on Highway 96 and a second access on Hamline Avenue, which is the same as the 2005 development proposal. The Highway 96 access would be a right-in and right-out access only as the County will not permit a curb cut to allow left hand turns onto Highway 96.
