Cas� Nu�ber: 958-76 1��1arch 3, 1976 Page Three 5. As you a71 know, this portion of the s�opping center site and the contiguous property to the west �niti�lly developed for the Spar�an Stores is separa�ed from Dione 5treet and Dunlap Street by a 40 foot screening urea and a fer�ce. 7his �las done at the time af the develop- ment af the expar►sion of the shop��ng center and the Spartan Stores so as to provide a transition �o the single fam�ly areas to the north and to pr°�vent persons parking on those stree�s and qoing to the snopping center. This condition ►vauld appear to a�F�fectively ir�h7bit anyone from parking in �hose residential s�reets for purposes of shopping at the garden eenter. 5. The ovErall development plan of �he proposed center appears to be attractively done. The only area o� cancern m�ght be that of adequa-t� parking space. 7he proposed developmen� design includes 10 par�Cing spaces contiguous ta the garden center, itse�f. There are an additiona� 9 spaces on the west side of the shopping center immediately sa�rth of ti�e �roposed garden center. The exis�irrg garden center building of 3,750 square feet plus the praposed 1,400 square foo� gt�e�n- house t�rould total 5,15D square feet. TY�is would theoretically require 28 park�ng spaces �n accordance with the retail building parking requirements of the Qrdir�ance �vhich is 5.5 parking spaces for the firs� 25,000 square feet and 7 parking spaces fror the remaining square footage up to 2Qa,000 square -Feet. 7. The shopping center to the south has 73,430 gross square fee�. The cen�er has a theoretical parfcing ne�d far 476.5 parKing spaces. 7ota1 parking spaces provided are 369, hotiver,rer, observat�on of the shopping center over these rnany years would indicate that there �s adequa�e parEcing space for this particular center. In view of �the seasanal nat�re of the garden center, i tsel f, ti�re quest� on ti�rhe �her the addi ti on of the �,400 square foot greenhause will have any significant effect on the parl:ing nzeds 1n thE shopping center, itself. 7he Rosevil�e ardinance provides.#'or the use of joint Qarking faci7ities witE� stipulation that such parl;ing be within 300 feet ofi joint uses. The distance fron� the garden center to the main parking area serving the shopping center is app'roximaiely 24Q feet. 8. 7here also exi�ts a joint parking easemen� agreement bet4,reen ti�e Rasevil� Shapping Center and the"Spartan Propert�`to t�e west. This easei��ent appiies to the southerly I6& feet ��lhich is the depti� �north-south) of the main parking lot an �he sauth side of the shop�ing center. Though this agree�neni provides for parking efficiency, it has relatively little impact on need in the sense that parking requirements for the remodeled Spartan Siore are as great or greater than the shopping center itself. The fact is that people shoppir�g in the area, paric v�herevEr tk�ey lifce +rrhether they are shopping at the eenter or at one of the three uses in the old Spartan Store (Applebaums, Roseville Theatr�, ar the Craft Shop} . A number of ti�e exi sti ng uses i n ti�e shoppi ng center ar�d the garden center, itself, are not typica7 reiail square footage and require less parking than the formu�a ti•lould indieate, such uses in�lude the doctor's o�fices, the Community Credii offzces, the photograpl�y shop, the insurance office, ttie carpet shop(a 1Qw �nte�sity user), and the cleaners.
