<br />. <br /> <br />The floor area ratio is obtained by dividing the sum of a buildings floor area by the amount of <br />the lot area. The floor area ratio (FAR) cannot exceed 0.8 for the CC: Civic Center District. . <br />The FAR for this project is 0.l9 (includes mezzanine area). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(Square Feet) <br />1,219,680 <br /> <br />(%) <br />80% Max <br /> <br />(Square Feet) <br />286,008 <br /> <br />(%) <br />19% <br /> <br />(Square Feet) <br />286,208 <br /> <br />(%) <br />19% <br /> <br />5. Landscape Lot Area - Code Requirement Met <br /> <br />The minimum amount of landscape lot area for the CC: Civic Center District is 20% of the <br />lot area. When the Special Use Permit was previously amended the total landscape area was <br />listed as 521,413 square feet. Calculations for impervious surface and landscape lot area <br />included both impervious and landscape areas within the private access roads adjacent to the <br />property (the extension of Hamline Avenue to the north, and Ben Franklin Avenue to the <br />west). The proposed SUP amendment shows a reduction of 12,610 square feet oflandscape <br />area. Based on the reduction from the previous number the proposed SUP amendment would <br />leave the site with a landscape lot area of approximately 33 percent. <br /> <br /> <br />(Square Feet) <br />304,920 <br /> <br />(%) <br />20% Min <br /> <br />(Square Feet) <br />52l,413 <br /> <br />(%) <br />34% <br /> <br />(Square Feet) <br />508,803 <br /> <br />(%) <br />33% <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6. Parking. - No Significant Change from SUP <br /> <br />The proposed used oil and household hazardous waste site would not impact any existing <br />parking areas. People using the used oil site would likely park adjacent to the used oil <br />building? Users of the HHW site would have sufficient queue space and would only be <br />parked momentarily. <br /> <br />7. Screening - Appears Consistent with Code Requirement. <br /> <br />Currently there are Black Hills Spruce coniferous trees which surround the "yard" area of the <br />property. The proposed SUP amendment would relocate 8 ofthese trees in the area proposed <br />for the site to be relocated to the north of the used oil and HHW site. This new location <br />would maintain the natural screening around the "yard" area ofthe site. The proposed SUP <br />amendment also calls for screening around the dumpster which would be located to the east <br />ofthe used oil building. The drawings seem to include a wooden privacy fence which would <br /> <br />Page 4 of9 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2004\04-19 RCPWF SUP Amendment Oil drop site and HHW (PENDING)\02-02-05 PC Report RCPWF SUP <br />2nd Amendment.doc <br />
