<br />~ <br /> <br />February 8, 1999 <br /> <br />Cub Foods - Har Mar Mall <br />Roseville, Minnesota <br /> <br />Jerry's Food's is proposing a new 76.500 sq. ft. building on the south end ofHar Mar Mall for a Cub <br />Foods store and retail space. The building will replace the vacant 54,500:t sq. ft. structure that was <br />formerly occupied by Homeplace. This expansion will require vacation/relocation of an existing public <br />utility easement to accommodate the relocation of existing utilities. Application is made for this easement <br />vacation/relocation. <br /> <br />The proposed building will be sited primarily in the same location as the existing structure. There will be a <br />minor expansion to both the west and the east. As with the existing structure, docking will be located on <br />the east side utilizing a screen wall to provide visual separation from the adjacent residential area. The <br />screened dock area will accommodate waste compactors and deliveries. <br /> <br />Portions of the existing parking lot to the south and east will be reconstructed to provide proper slope and <br />grade transitions between the new building and existing site conditions. Two small ponds along the east <br />site boundary will be consolidated and relocated to the southeast comer of the site which will result in.a net <br />increase of green area. This larger pond will be designed to NURP (storm water quality treatment) <br />standards and storage prior to storm water being discharged from the site into an existing public storm <br />sewer pipe. Sanitary sewer and water are adjacent to the building for short service connections. The <br />existing parking area has sufficient stalls to accommodate City requirements (5 stallsllOOO sq. ft.). <br /> <br />The building is designed to be compatible architecturally with the existing center. It will be built with <br />brick, decorative block and EIFS using existing colors. There will be an internal connection to the Mall <br />which will likely interface with the pharmacy in the supermarket. <br /> <br />Site lighting will be designed to be consistent with the present lighting. Lighting will be increased only if <br />the minimum two (2) footcandle requirement isn't met. All lighting will be shielded from adjacent <br />properties. <br /> <br />This project will utilize the existing Mall access points including the signalized intersections at Snelling <br />Avenue west of the proposed store and at County Road B north ofthe store. The traffic will utilize the <br />same internal Mall drives as currently exist. The internal drive from Snelling A venue will be slightly <br />altered to provide better directional access to the Cub parking area and increase parking availability near <br />the theaters. <br /> <br />Site landscaping will be maintained and reconstructed as required to current levels to accommodate <br />screening of the adjacent residential and parking area/dock areas as required. <br /> <br />Noise will be reduced with the use of screen walls at the docks and parapet walls on the building. All' <br />equipment utilize the most efficient motors to further reduce noise. <br /> <br />The added traffic is anticipated to have minimal impact on circulation and intersections. Per "Trip <br />Generation" by ITE, a shopping center ofthis size would generate about 4 trips during the p.m. peak hour. <br />The existing Mall at 429,584 sq. ft. would produce about 1719 trips. The proposed Cub would increase the <br />Mall size to 451,584 sq. ft. generating about 1807 trips. A 5% trip passby reduction could be applied to <br />drop the difference in trip from 88 to 83. The 83 added trips is less than 5% of the total now generated by <br />Har Mar Mall. <br /> <br />Cub is locating many of their stores adjacent to residential areas. All attempts are made to be good, <br />cooperative neighbors. This will be the top priority at this location as well. <br /> <br />'b ~AO\ <br />
