<br />Memo to Mayor and City CouncillP 99-8 <br />June 21, 1999 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />The owner of the Elk River Mall is proposing to demolish that portion of the <br />mall north of the movie theaters, leaving an end cap adjacent to the theaters, <br />and redevelop the site. The redevelopment plans consist of replatting the <br />existing lot into 3 lots and developing each of the lots. The three components <br />of the redevelopment plans are the construction of a medical clinic, <br />construction of a retail building and the conversion of the end cap into a class <br />I restaurant with on sale liquor and retail space. Scherer Company, current <br />owner of the mall, will be developing the freestanding retail site and the <br />restaurant/retail space. North Memorial Health Care will be developing the <br />medical clinic site. <br /> <br />This report will include a review of the plat for Elk River Plaza 4th Addition <br />and the conditional use permits for the retail building and the restaurant! <br />retail space. The clinic, even though it is a component of the overall <br />redevelopment plan, is being brought forward by North Memorial Health <br />Care and will be the subject of a separate report. The applicants, Scherer <br />Company and North Memorial Health Care, will give a joint presentation to <br />the Council. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Preliminary and Final pla t <br /> <br />The preliminary and final plat for Elk River Plaza 4th Addition involves <br />replatting Lot 4, Block 2, Elk River Plaza into 3 lots. Lot 1 is 1.7 acres, Lot 2 <br />is 2.5 acres and Lot 3 is 4.1 acres. <br /> <br />The existing drainage and utility easements are to remain in place. An <br />additional 10 foot easement will need to be provided along the north property <br />line of Lot 3 and the northwest corner of Lot 1. A 10 foot easement will also <br />have to be provided along the south property line of Lot 3, along a portion of <br />the east property line of Lot 3 and across Lot 2 to the north property line of <br />Lot 2. <br /> <br />No new access drives from Freeport are proposed. The project will utilize the <br />existing drives from Freeport Avenue at the north end and middle of the <br />plaza. Adequate parking is being provided on each of the individual lots. <br />However, overall parking in the plaza does not meet the parking <br />requirements for the existing and proposed uses. Cross parking and access <br />easements will be in place to allow all tenants in the plaza, including the <br />theater, use of the entire parking lot. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />F: \SHRDOC\PLANNING\SCOTT\P99-8CC.DOC <br />
