• • CASE NUMBER: 1569-84 Page 4 been achieved, and has been incorporated into the development plan as approved by the City for the shopping center to the east. At the far southeast corner of the structure, the building will be as close as ten feet to the property line. This is done so as to achieve a loading bay area, the doors of which open north, rather than to the east. A screen wall will be constructed here to hide this service entrance from America Street to the east. this end of the building the developers wanted to extend the shopping center further to the south. However, the City was concerned about the extension of America Street so as to connect to County Road B-2 and westerly to Fairview. Thus, the building was angled at approximately 45 degrees as you will note on the plan so as to achieve this connection in a more reasonable fashion. The traffic geometries have been examined by the developers' traffic engineers (Strgar-Roscoe) and is recommended as an appropriate solution by the City staff. On the southerly part of the development, a separate structure is proposed as a part of the overall plan under the Shopping Center District, wherein the structure will be 25 feet from the south property line. This structure is proposed to be it TGIFriday's Restaurant. Detail plans for this structure have not been submitted but the siting of the building, access, and parking arrangements, is definitive and requested for approval along with the overall plan under consideration. The setbacks for the parking are proposed to be 11 feet on the west side, 10 feet on the north side, 10 feet on the east side (except for the joint driveway area), and 10 feet on the south side. In view of the overall objectives of the plan (maximum efficiency of the site), we feel that these setbacks are reasonable. The 10 feet is a normal requirement in the B-IB District for instance for interior lot lines. b. Access. The developers in the City have successfully negotiated with Ramsey County to allow full turning movements at the new access to be provided at the southeast corner of the site, approximately halfway between the existing entrances to Rosedale, along County Road B-2 in this sector. The existing right -turn in and right --turn out access to the small shopping center to the east (Audio King building) will remain. An additional access is proposed as indicated on the plan. Three curb cuts are proposed on Fairview Avenue which have been approved by the County and designed in accordance with the traffic engineers recommendations. It is important to note that the access to the north of the shopping center (furthest north on Fairview Avenue) will be a one-way access in only. An important condition to consider attaching to any approvals would be that there would be easements provided to the City guaranteeing
