<br />Draft 11/13/98 <br /> <br />3. The placement of landscaped islands within the existing parking area and at <br />the perimeter of the site. <br /> <br />4. Design enhancements to the restaurant (Taco Bell) which include, lowering <br />the drive-through and placing a retaining wall around the drive-through in <br />order to create a physical and visual barrier between vehicles on the site and <br />pedestrians on the side walk; shifting the building 10 feet to the west and <br />five feet to the north in order to create additional public space east and <br />south of the wall around the drive-through; adding architectural interest to <br />the exterior of the building with the use of materials that complement the <br />Center as well as the proposed streetscape elements on Larpenteur Avenue; <br />providing pedestrian access to the front of the building (west side) from <br />Lexington Avenue. The exterior of the building will be a combination of <br />masonry materials (brick as the primary material, with a stucco/EFIS <br />product on the four arches, and rock face block similar in color to kasota <br />stone). Arches will be located on all four sides ofthe building, with banding <br />and a metal cap being used to accent the walls and tie the design elements <br />together. Awnings, lighting, and window frames will complement the <br />overall color and design of this building and the Center. <br /> <br />To enable the redevelopment of the Roseville Center, a Special Service District <br />was established which allowed the developer to make the additional <br />improvements required by the Comprehensive Plan and Larpenteur Avenue <br />Streetscape Master Plan. Approximately $180,000 was provided to the project <br />and will be assessed back to the property owner over a 10-year period. This <br />method of financing enable the owner to spread the financial burden of <br />redevelopment out over a longer period of time and pass those costs onto the <br />tenants gradually instead of all at once. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that this method of financing will be used to assist other aging <br />retail centers in the area. <br /> <br />12. Rice Street Corridor <br /> <br />The Rice Street Corridor area includes approximately 66.4 acres of scattered <br />sites with a market value of $8.4 million. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that over the next 5 years a redevelopment plan will be <br />necessary to ensure the vitality of the corridor and plan for the impact of road <br />improvements as the street will be turned over to the County in the year 2001. <br /> <br />13. Arona <br /> <br />The entire Arona area is comprised of 48.3 acres ofland and includes the City <br />Activity Center, Hamline Center and several multi-family buildings. These users <br />generate approximately $10 million in market value. <br /> <br />9 <br />
