units are in the area). To the north is a "B-1" (Limited Business) zoned site on which the Roseville Covenant Church is now located. Originally on the corner of Centennial and Hamline there was a small gas station. The 24,000 s.f. office building addition to the site, located to the northeast of the Center, succeeded the gas station and was approved in 1983 as part of a special use permit with in a planned unit development by Tom Wilmus. Shared office and shopping center parking were approved as part of that 1983 PUD. 3.5 In conjunction with the application for conditional use permit approval, the following documents have been submitted and reviewed by staff in preparation of this report: a. Site and trash screening plan (08/14/00) b. Narrative (08/11/00) c. Lighting plan d. Concept landscape plan 3.6 Because of the hours of operation of the bingo hall (typically evenings) off-street parking space for current employee and patrons as well as that necessary for the bingo hall is sufficient. The charitable gaming operation proposes to have a maximum seating capacity of300 customers and a parking need of 120 to 150 spaces. There are over 220 off-street parking spaces at the Hamline Center and another 114 shared with the adjacent (north) office building. Currently the bingo operation reports parking at approximately 90 spaces per session. Customers come to the site at a rate of 1.2 or more customers per vehicle. 3.7 The hours of use are proposed to be: Monday from 7:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.; Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Wednesday from 12:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 12:45 a.m.; Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 12:45 a.m.; and Sunday from 1 :00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. The use of the space as a bingo hall past 10:00 p.m. triggers the heightened 24-hour use requirements. Specifically, parking lot screening from adjacent residential uses and parking lot lighting from adjacent residential uses are required. 3.8 Additional traffic and conduct noise is not a significant problem. The bingo hall does not serve alcohol. Police records from previous license approvals indicate few disturbance or loitering calls at the current location (Knights of Columbus). There will be more traffic noise; because the Center has been vacant for so long, but (from staff experience at other centers) the traffic noise is within the state standards permitted for a commercial area and adjoining residential areas 3.9 Rooftop mechanical units will be screened if necessary. In a preliminary review of the site it appears that only the north and west side of the units may need to be screened. The east side has the advantage of the extended facade and the south side property line lies too close to view the units. The developer will be required to meet MPCA noise standards with the newer units. PF3251 RCA (102300) Page 4 of 9
