2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND .1 SuperAmerica purchased the existing 2.014 s.f. facility at Harm1ine Avenue and Terrace Drive in 1975 and remodeled that gas/senTice station into the facility that exists today. The current structure is surrounded by bituminous asphalt, parking, drive lanes and six (6) gas service pumps located under the canopy/island area(east). There are grass strips 10 feet in width on both the north and west property lines and small grass areas adjacent the four(4) ingress/egress points. Due to its age, current floor plan, site layout and access/gas service area, Speedway SuperAmerica has decided to redevelop the site With a new 2,867 s.f. structure and gas service island area. The site redevelopment does not include the gas tams that have been recentIv replaced to meet cLuTent FPA standards. 2,2 The lot is 150 feet in width by 173 feet in depth or 2-5,950 s.f, in size, and is a small but workable redevelopment site for a gas/convenience store. Parking for a fac i Z i ty is reel iii ray d at four(4) spaces plus one (1) space for every 15)0 square feet of floor space devoted to retail sales (Section 100 .01 D 2 ) or 15) off-street parking ;paces 'used on proposed 1X667 s.f retail area. The site plan indicates 62 1 off-street parking spaces including eicyht (8) within the gas pump island area. This is consistent with the Staff interpretation of the Code and the Planning Commission's recommendation on the Rice Street SuperAmerica. 2.3 Code Existing Proposed PUD Requirement Building Bnildin Difference Floor Area Ratio 1.0(100%) .07 (7%) .11 (11%) CIA Front Yard Setback 3 0 feet 48 feet 42 feet 12 feet Side Yard Setback 10 feet 48 feet 5 feet 5 feet Rear Yard Setback 20 feet 26 feet 5 feet 15 feet Canopy Setback 30/30!10 1315$/44 20/20/56 10 feet(front) Parking 15 off-street spaces 16 off-street spaces 21 off-street spaces 6 off-street s paces of Driveways NA 14 12 2 2.4 The proposed architecture will be a single l evel (16 feet in height) brie structure constructed in the southwest corner of the parcel. It will be similar in design to that of the facility constructed in Saint Paul at Snelling Avenue and Ford Parkway and of a light colored brief similar to that of a facility constructed in SELInt Paul south of Interstate 94 along Lexington Avenue (pictures attached). The redevelopment will eliminate two of the current access points, shifting the two remal*�irrg access ports to the western on Terrace Drive) and southern(on Hamline Avenue) portions of the site. Landscaping will be provided in all open green areas and a sidewalk will be constructed along Hatnline Avenue. The canopy/gas service area will be relocated from the Hamline Avenue side of the existing site to the center of the lot and offset from the intersection of Hamline Avenue and Terrace Drive.
