• <br />, <br />Planning Office Hours <br />`June 18, 1986 <br />� <br />Page 2 <br />We emphasized the need for quality building materials, land- <br />scape requirements in and around the parking lot, and other <br />el.ements of the development proposal. They noted that the <br />average shopping trip for Price Savers is $77.00 per trip, with <br />a stay of an hour to an hour and one-half per customer. A <br />relatively long stay is one of the reasons for the larger <br />parking ratio, greater than the five spaces per thousand <br />required by the City. <br />The proposed building has been reduced to 148,000 square feet. <br />Kraus-Anderson has proposed to build the building. The clevel- <br />opment will result in elimination of the northerly most <br />property (139,828 square feet) currently north of the St. <br />Paul and Suburban Bus Company garage site. <br />4. Murray, 450-1500 <br />Bob Murray is a realtor and broker, and was in suggesting the <br />development of a residence site north of County Road C-2 tor an <br />8,000 to 10,OOQ square £oot SMR Computer Software buidling. <br />The property is one of a row of single tamily homes, which wexe <br />requested b� t�e property owners to be shown as high density, <br />multi-family housing on the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Murray propos�d not to purchase the house on the site, but to <br />� utilize the remaining land only. In my opinion„ this makes <br />the problem wors�, leaving a house with a very :small piece of <br />property, making it more difficult to redevelop the land fox <br />the future. I suggested he discuss this proposal with other <br />neighbors, who in the past have expressed their willingness to <br />�ell out as a group. I noted that the use for the overall <br />properties might b�e office, or similar use, but we did not want <br />t�o ].eave existing residents "holding the bag". <br />We noted the Council's criteria for a"overwhelming majority" <br />af residents d�siring to change the land use. <br />5. Ryden, �84-337]. <br />Bruc� Ryden, Raseville Fire Marshal, reviewed a condition at <br />Fairdale Shop� wherein Vision World, Inc., is running an <br />optica]. factory in the basemenic of the Fairdale Shops building, <br />producing lenses for fiftecan retail stores. He noted <br />approximately thirty person� are employed. He is concerned <br />about multiple violations rela�ting to life safety code require- <br />ments. We noted that such a manufacturing operation is neither <br />a special or permitted use in the B-1-b zone, to which this <br />property is currently zoned. This fact to reinforce his objec- <br />tive to ensure safe working conditions at the site. <br />We noted that the original parking calculations were based on <br />storage utilization of the basement a�ea. <br />� <br />
