PARKING The new total GLA (Gross Leasable Area) of the project is 444,102 square feet including the addition. Based on five (5) cars per 1,000 square feet, this generates a need for 2221 on- site parking spaces. The new site plan with full south lot provides for 2386 on -site parking spaces. SITE LIGHTING We are currently studying the possibility of either installing new high output, low light source light fixtures on the existing poles. Another option would be to install a higher concentration of 30' + site light fixtures throughout the entire site. We are working with the Contractor for the pricing of both schemes. In either case, light fixtures will be of the design which will not cause the light source to be visible to the surrounding residential neighborhoods. 1 "; 1 E .`. : * � we are proposing new landscaping in the south parking lot since this is a BIB zone requiring 3% minimum landscape areas in the parking lot. We are also proposing landscaping around the addition and along the new Snelling Avenue reconstruction area. Actual landscaping plans with species and sizes will be submitted later for staff approval. Three variances are requested. 1. The sign pylon on the west side would be relocated to a new position at the new west entrance. Its proposed new sign face ton one side) would be 375 square feet. The other existing pylon at the northwest corner of the site would remain at 160 square feet. We propose to add together the 200 square feet per sign face for each of three pylons allowed for a total of 600 square feet per sign face. We would divide the available 600 square feet into the two sign pylons listed above (375 + 160 square feet) for a total of 535 square feet per sign face. 2. There is a possibility that the new location of thb South County Road B right of way tat 49.5' south of centerline) would place the existing north parking within the 15' setback.. -Our variance would be to leave the parking as is and decrease the setback as required. We do not know exactly where the new right of way is in relation to the parking. This is in the process of being surveyed at this time.
