<br />7 The subject parcel abuts the Rose Vista Apartments on the west (across Fer wood
<br />T1 Avenue), the Roseville Terrace Apartment directly adjacent to the north, and multi-family
<br />75 residential on the south across Larpenteur Avenue. The existing, site includes a varying,
<br />7 Ci, buffer of 22 to 25 feet along, the west side of the theater, a buffer of approximately 25 feet
<br />7.7 along, the north property line which is adjacent to the truck dock and a steep slope, and a
<br />78 30 foot buffer along, the southern property line adjacent to Larpenteur Avenue. The
<br />7 , � existing, buffer areas include grass and minimal landscape.

<br />The existing, parcel is fully developed with structures and paving,, and is constrained on all
<br />sides. As such it would be (is) difficult for this redevelopment proposal to meet the above
<br />requirement (and others as required below). T,hr�oug,h discussions with staff, Roundy's
<br />has developed an efficient design that addresses as best as possible the above
<br />setback/scr�eening, needs, as well as those identified further in the report. In an attempt to
<br />assist Roundy's and to gauge options, the Planning, Division completed a structure
<br />placement exercise, concluding, that the most efficient and least impacting, location was
<br />generally where the existing, structure stands.
<br />0 The Planning, Division has concluded that the west and south sides of the development,
<br />though important, are least likely to be impacted greatly by the redevelopment versus the
<br />2 adjacent roadways. The area north of the parcel, due to its proximity to the dock area and
<br />structure may be impacted and as such buffering, and screening, are more important in
<br />this location. The redevelopment as proposed includes an approximate 20 foot wide buffer
<br />5 along, the west side of the property, an approximately 25 foot wide buffer aloe the south
<br />side of the property, and an approximately 40 wide buffer along, the north side of the
<br />7 parcel. The Planning, Division and DRC support this proposal.
<br />r�r 6.16 §1006.05A3 (Special Requirements When Rear and Includes Loading Area) states: Here a
<br />200 rearyard of'a sbopping center district includes the loading and servicing area of'a sbopping
<br />20 center building and were such a rearyard is adjacent to or across the street from a residential
<br />202 district, the building setback x° 11 be one bundred twenty feet (120), and the buffer strip s° 11
<br />2 0 be sixty feet (60).

<br />205 Given the complexities in locating the new store (addressed above) it would be nearly
<br />2 0 Ci, impossible to achieve full compliance with these requirements and still construct an
<br />2 0, 7? efficient site and store. The Planning, Division has concluded that requiring, an additional
<br />208 buffer and setback is impractical and that the impact of the new store and drive lane,
<br />2 0 ,, � though in a very similar location to the existing, condition, can be mitigated by the
<br />2 0 inclusion of landscape, specifically coniferous trees (evergreens) on the slope.
