4.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: 4.6 The joint development proposals by ASI and VSI Construction seek to redevelop the four- parcel 71,648 square foot (1.65 acre) former Kath gas station and upholstery shop sites into a two parcel mixed use development consisting of a professional office on one lot and supportive housing on the second lot. 4.7 Accessible Space Inc has received $360,000 from Ramsey County, $160,000 from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and a Federal Housing and Urban Development mortgage for the purchase and development of the site and the supportive housing complex. 4.8 Professional Office Complex: A. The proposed offices are in an "L" shaped configuration on the northwest comer of proposed Lot 1 and run in south and east direction. The office structure is proposed as a four to eight unit office condominium with such uses as a dentist, orthodontist, ophthalmologist, accountant, attorney, and other professional office uses. The intent is to market the local office space to professional service uses needing 3,000 to 4,000 square feet of office space. B. Because a new subdivision ofland is required, the County is requiring an additional 15 feet (approximate) of right of way dedication along Lexington and Roselawn A venues. The office structure would set back 26 feet from the back of the curb along Lexington Avenue or one foot off the newly established (street right-of-way to be dedicated) property line. This proposal allows for a 10-foot separation from the curb to the proposed six-foot wide sidewalk and a 10 foot green area from the sidewalk to the office structure. The sidewalk setback distance is exactly the same as that of Suburban Hardware and Cryogenic Laboratory, the two building sites located directly to the north. The setback along Roselawn Avenue would be approximately 27 feet from the edge of pavement or 10 feet from the newly established (street right-of-way to be dedicated) property line. This proposal allows a five foot green area between the road surface and the eight-foot wide pathway and an approximate 14-1/2 foot separation from the edge of path to the office structure. The office building is angled towards the intersection and the parking lot, and includes an inset-building jog at each end (south and east). The angled area of the office building becomes the central entry corridor that has a two-story foyer with windows at both ends and a stairwell and elevator on opposite sides of the Lexington Avenue entry. C. Three stairwells and one elevator provide employees and clients general and emergency access to and from the office building. The structure also proposes a single restroom for each floor. D. The office building is proposed with rock-faced block around its perimeter, changing to brick for the remainder of the first floor and the balance being masonry lap siding. An aluminum soffit and fascia and asphalt shingles complete the 4/12 pitch hip roof. The proposal also includes dormers as a method to break-up the roofline and structure wall.
