Mr. Howard Dahl gren May 29, 1987 Page Two Comm. No. 87-01-1033-01 The existing topography is relatively level across the site although there is a predominant drainage pattern from the southwest corner, northeast to an exist- ing drainage easement. There is no significant vegetation on the site. Preliminary soil borings have been taken in some areas of the site and indicate that the site is suitable for new building development. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed master plan concept consists of four parcels; a one-story Retail Building, a two-story Office Building, a three-story Bank/Office Building and a 112-unit Extended Stay Hotel. The building massing on the site creates a focal point at the intersection. The two multi-story buildings at the center of the site step down to the one-story Retail Building to the north and to the two- story Hotel units on the east. The intense development of the site is relieved by this change in massing and building scale throughout the site. Staggering the three-story Bank/Office Building from the two-story Office Building opens up the corner of the site providing views of the entire development. While refinement to the buildings and site layout may be made during the course of the development, the goal of the master plan is to make efficient use of the available land and create a development that has a unified appearance. BUILDING AND PARKING SETBACKS The proposed location of the building and parking areas throughout the develop- ment meet or exceed the minimum requirements established for building and park- ing setbacks under the proposed zoning. The following table illustrates the required setbacks. Building Front Yard/Street Right-of-Way 30 ft. Lot Line 10 ft. Parking Front Yard/Street Right-of-Way 15 ft. Lot Line 5 ft. TRAFFIC/PARKING Access to the development is off of the Snelling Avenue Frontage Road along the northeast side of the site. There are four (4) proposed entrances leading to the interior streets which circulate throughout the site. Interior streets will have a minimum width of 24' and provide two-way circulation. The Bank/ Office Building will have a drive-up facility on the south side. This location keeps car stacking out of the main circulation route.
