This request will be considered by the city council <br />during the January 24 meeting. Bradley Management wants to expand the <br />mall <br />,in order to support a new Cub Foods store and needs the vacation of <br />easement <br />in order to proceed. It seems to me that the Har Mar Mall is already <br />:overdeveloped and that allowing it to expand further would make the <br />:problem <br />worse. <br /> <br />Roseville city code states that no more than 25% of a property should be <br />developed. The question is how the developed percentage is calculated. <br />If <br />the land under Snelling Avenue and half of County Road B is included <br />then <br />the mall is <br />limit after <br />!calculation <br />:code <br />'is not clear as to whether or not this extra land should be included. <br />It <br />seems to me that the land under the roads is not usable and should not <br />be <br />included in the calculation. <br />Iland <br />lunder the roads and can not use the land under the roads. Why then <br />should <br />they be able to count this land as part of the lot used to support the <br />building? <br /> <br />just under the 25% limit (24.3%), and would be right at the <br />the expansion. If this extra land is not included in the <br />then the mall is already over the limit (28.5%). The city <br /> <br />Bradley Management is not taxed on the <br /> <br />I request that the council give guidance to the city staff as to how the <br />25% <br />development code should be interpreted such that only usable land is <br />included in the calculation. <br /> <br />Ron Balczewski <br />1391 Ryan Ave W. <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />(651) 917-0391 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />v-f)..\~ <br />\\'0\. \9- <br />9~ <br />()J'" <br />
