2.5 The 74,220 square foot Hamline Center is considered a pre-existing, non-conforming shopping center, built in the early 1960's. The Hamline Center site encompasses one parcel of 6.3 acres in size. The parcel is "L" shaped, with roughly 3 13 feet of frontage on Hamline Avenue, 623 feet of frontage on Terrace Drive, and 292 feet of frontage on Centennial Drive. Adjacent to the Hamline Center, to the northeast is the 2-story 24,000 square foot Hamline Office Complex built in 1960. It is not part of this proposal and will remain as is, sharing its 114 parking places with the Hamline Center. The office building is located on an additional2 acres. The existing Hamline Center building is generally located in the southwest corner of the site with parking located to the east (approximately 183 spaces) and along the south frontage adjacent to Terrace Drive (approximately 40 spaces west). No ponding for storm water management is located on the site and no ponding is proposed because the site will not increase impervious surfaces. 2.6 The Roseville Zoning Code does not distinguish between retail shopping and office uses for parking purposes. The Code requires five (5) off-street parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of leasable retail space or office space. For general assembly/meeting spaces such as the charitable gambling-bingo operation the Code requires 1 space per each 3 seats. The Code also allows for shared/joint parking. The proposal indicates 223 off- street parking spaces for the 66,337 square feet of gross leasable area, of which 13% or 8,632 square feet is now occupied by a non-conforming church (1 space for each 3.3 seats) with evening and weekend uses. The City, in the past, has recognized the unique parking requirements of a mixed-use center project (Section 1005 .0 1 E). 2.7 The Hamline Center incorporates approximately 15 uses into the (1) story structure, which is approximately 24 feet in height. The main entry will continue to be located off of Hamline Avenue. The bingo hall will be located along the southeastern end of the complex. The existing architecture is 1970's retail modem — a mix in design, consisting of brick, concrete block and wood exterior materials and a flat roof with existing roof top HVAC clearly visible from some property lines. Exterior mounted meters and electrical service boxes are also remnants of an earlier age, when few community building guidelines or design standards existed. 2.8 Because of the nature of the request, use inside of an existine buildin�, Kraus-Anderson has not submitted normally required building concept development plans, including site, drainage, landscape, floor plan, and building elevations. They have submitted a site plan for Hamline Center, indicating the specific bay to be used and a narrative describing their intentions for the site. Kraus-Anderson has also submitted interior remodeling plans for review. 2.9 Being relatively flat, the site drains to city catch basins adjacent the site and into the storm water system. There is no new (net) impervious or a bituminous overlay that would required creation of storm water ponding on site. PF3251 RCA (092500) Page 2 of 7
