So as to accommodate this office building, the land was rezoned from R-1 to 8-18. The Medical Office Building proposed was ultimately not constructed. The B-16, however, requires a Special Use Permit for site plan approval and that is why such being Special Permit is Part of the development approval process currently 9 considered. 9. Attached are a series of reductions offive pdrawings landscaper plan and the proposed development plan, the survey, grading exterior elevations of the building. With respect to these plans, the Planning Commission and Council should note that there will be a reduction in the setback for the parking along the south side of County Road B .since additional right-of-way is being acquired by the County for future expansion of County Road B. This does not have to be processed as a variance since the Shopping Center District makes provisions for the Council to approve a site plan that may differ from the minimum setbacks required and since such a plan is subject to the Council review and approval. 10. Likewicze, or, the west side of the site near the southwest corner, additional parking is being proposed where the service road at one time extended northerly into the site from the south. Here, parking is proposed contiguous to the lot line. The exact location of this lot line is somewhat in doubt since the planning negotiations for the reacquisition of the land by the Har Mar people from MnDOT are not yet complete. In any case, a sidewalk should be constructed as required along the public right-of-way frontage on Snelling Avenue and County Road B.
