Mr. Rick Jopke February 23, 1993 Page 2 Computer City is a retail store merchandising computer hardware and software, as well as various related items and services. The typical store size for Computer City is 25,000 square feet. The proposed size for this location is an 18,000 square foot free standing building. The Special Use Permit request for this location is in regard to the 100 foot setback requirement under the SC (Shopping Center) zoning designation for this property. This setback requirement renders a practical difficulty in constructing a permissible use of functional configuration. The Computer City project does not conflict with the general intent of the SC zoning designation since: (1) the south side of the proposed building shall be at a minimum 90 feet from the County Road B-2 R.O.W. across from which is the Rosedale Shopping Center, (2) the north side of the building faces the Crossroads Center which is also zoned SC, (3) the east side of the building shall be at a minimum 83 feet from the Snelling Avenue R.O.W. and approximately 400 feet from the nearest residential property on the east side of Snelling Avenue, and (4) the residential property on the east side of Snelling is effectively isolated from this site by the Snelling Avenue/County Road B-2 interchange. The building and parking lot coverage for the Computer City project is only 61.5% of the total site. Other impervious area on the property includes the existing Crossroads Center Driveway, existing City sidewalk, and future City sidewalk. The lot coverages are as follows: Proposed Building Proposed Parking Lot Existing Crossroads Center Driveway Existing City Sidewalk Future City Sidewalk Greenback Total Site Area = 18,000 SQ. Fr. = 33,690 SQ. Fr. = 4,860 SQ. Fr. = 660 SQ. Fr. = 1,440 SQ. Fr. = 25,442 SQ. Fr. = 84,092 SQ. Fr. (21.4 %) (40.1%) (5.8 %) (0.8 %) (1.7%) (30.2 %) (100% ) . It is proposed to provide 90 parking spaces, of which 3 shall be handicapped car accessible, 1 shall be handicapped van accessible, and 45 shall be designated for compact. The provided parking meets the City's requirements for the size of building proposed. Trash removal will be contracted with a local provider who will furnish containers suitable for the purpose. The trash container area will be enclosed and monitored daily in order to ensure a reasonable neat and clean surrounding. The trash enclosure area will be attached to the building and constructed as part of a screen wall for the proposed loading area on the northeast comer of the building. No adverse impact is expected with respect to parking or traffic since adequate parking will be provided on-site, and since there will be no direct access to the site from City streets. Rooftop mechanical units shall be screened on all four sides. The Beechwood Company is a Texas based Corporation located in Dallas.

Beechwood Company has developed and is currently developing several Computer City stores of quality construction in various locations across the country. .
