proposal is considered a major modification to the established (January 1, 2000) Planned Unit Development requiring an approved amendment. 5.4 The proposed 132,679 sq. ft. addition encompasses two levels (floors) of new construction. Specifically, the proposal includes a 63,679 sq. ft. two story addition to the east side of Mervyn's that would include a sporting goods store, bookstore, restaurant, cafe, and 12 retail shops of varying size. Proposed above and east of the retail expansion, the applicant proposes a 69,000 sq. ft., 14 screen stadium seating theater. This is a 2 story structure, with the theater component occupying the top (mall's main level) story. At- grade access to the theater is available from the south Mervyn's and east Herberger's parking lot. 5.5 In its entirety, the mall has over 1.1 million sq. ft. of building area. The large renovation and addition to the mall (about a 10°/o increase and a 10°/o renovation) will also require substantial site improvements including the following: ■ The road entry at Crossroads/Penney's and County Road B2 will be modified within the Rosedale site to include a new island at the access and relocatedreconstructed ring road as it travels east. ■ The road entry from the Snelling Avenue off-ramp (eastern most entry) and County Road B2 will be modified to include a new island at the access point and a relocatedreconstructed ring road. ■ The ring road from Penney's road entry to Herberger's parking lot will be relocated and reconstructed closer to County Road B2 and Snelling Avenue to accommodate the addition and is designed to include the transit hub and customer traffic. ■ The parking lot between Penney's and Mervyn's will be partially reconstructed to accommodate the relocated ring road and new curb islands. The remaining existing paved surface will be re-striped in a north/south direction. ■ The parking lot adjacent to County Road B2 and Snelling Avenue (eastern most lot) will be partially reconstructed due to the relocated/reconstructed ring road. New curb islands would be added and portions of the existing pavement will be re-striped accordingly. 5.6 The proposal does not require additional public infrastructure (watermain, sanitary sewer). However, existing private watermain, and sanitary sewer will need to be relocated and possibly upgraded. 5.7 A storm water management plan encompassing the area of disturbance is required and must be reviewed and approved by the Rice Creek Watershed and consistent with the City PF3608_RCA_GeneralConcept_122004 Page 3 of 20
