Planning File 1354 - Fine Associates' request for rezoning from B-1 to B-l-b, special use permit and variance to setback at 2750 Snelling Avenue Frontage Road East. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated Fine Associates proposes to construct a shopping center on their property west of the Comten headquarters building. A portion of the property is currently zoned B-l-b. The request is to rezone the remaining property from B-1 to B-l-b to permit construction of the center. The City Code requires a 10' landscape strip between a commercial area and a contiguous residential area. The easterly half of the northern boundary of the shopping center site is contiguous to the garage and parking area that serves the residential property. This garage area will be screened with a vertical poured concrete retaining wall, which is required to adjust the grades along the property line. Mr. Dahlgren suggested that instead of providing this 10' strip which would not be seen from the garage area, that a 5' strip be left, and that an additional 5' of landscaping be provided along the east side of the shopping center, contiguous to the Comten site. Mr. Dahlgren commented this additional 5' would be helpful in creating a more aesthetically pleasing transition to the Comten office building. Mr. Bob Kueppers, representing Fine Associates, indicated the shopping center would be an enclosed mall of approximately 73,000 square feet. He stated the center would be of high quality, and be finished with brick on all sides. He said there would be two restaurants and various other shops in the center. Mr. Kueppers commented he has met with officers of the Comten Corporation, and they have indicated they are not opposed to the development. The center will cost over $5.5 million.
