Location: 5605 Xerxes Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant seeks site and building plan approval for a 7500 sq. ft commercial building which represents the last construction phase of Westbrook Mall Shopping Center. The original site and building plans for the center were approved by the City Council on July 22, 1974 (Application No. 74040) and there have been several amendments, the most recent being August 18, 1975. The project was originally comprehended in two phases. The first phase accounted for an existing power line and power pole easement running across the property. The second phase accounted for the erection of a freestanding building -- then proposed as a 5000 sq. ft. building -- and presumed the elimination of the easement. The power lines and power poles have been eliminated and thus, certain parking lot improvements such as curb and gutter and parking space delineation which were viewed as temporary can now be finalized. Earlier approvals have included the deferral of a certain number of parking spaces (most recently.115 spaces) in consideration of the following: the applicant's contention that the full compliment of ordinance required spaces is not necessary given the type of uses in the center; the submission and approval of a "proof of parking plan" which shows that thS ordinance required parking can be installed on the land available using a 90 parking stall design rather than the installed diagonal design; and the eventual development of a freestanding building near Xerxes Avenue North as represented by this application. We have analyzed the parking situation and will be prepared to comment on the final figures representing the current amount to be deferred as proposed by the applicant as well as the amount of spaces required under the ordinance given the size of the proposed new building, the size of the mall itself and the size of the Hirshfield's Paint Store building. The plans indicate at this time the proposed freestanding building would con- sist of a financial institution and one or two other office -type tenancies. The plans indicate a future remote teller station for the bank which would be located on a parking lot delineator west of the building. On November 13, 1975 the Planning Commission reviewed a proposal by the appli- cant wherein crushed rock or washed gravel would be used in the parking lot delineators rather than the originally approved wood chip mulch. It was the consensus of the Commission that the rock could be used, but that it would be subject to review at the time of the final development. It is suggested that Commissioners drive by the premises and view this situation. We will be prepared to discuss the parking space deferment as well as the design of the proposed building in more detail. 4-28-77 Gabbert & Beck, Inc. continued Approval would be subject the following: 1. Building plans are subject to review by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading and drainage utility and berming plans are subject to review by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. The performance agreement and financial guarantee submitted under Application No. 74040 shall include the completion of site improvements comprehended under this approval. 4. Installation of certain parking stalls as indicated on the approved site and building plans may be deferred until deemed necessary by the City Council, providing such deferred areas are developed, landscaped, and maintained in accordance with approved site plans and ordinance requirements. 5. All site improvements previously deferred in consideration of the then existing power company pole and line easement shall be installed and/or completed as permanent improvements. 6. All landscaped areas on the site shall be provided with under- ground irrigation. 7. All trash disposal facilities and roof -top mechanical equipment shall be appropriately enclosed and screened from view. 8. Site and building plans shall comply with State provisions for the handicapped. 9. Installation of the proposed remote bank teller station shall be subject to review by the Planning and Inspection and Engineering Departments. 4-28-77 -2- c- i l3 , A P"PL1LAToN No, 77016 NonrN WESTBROOK WI -IF y I C® Gz 1 ._:__._ n ual site plan pAagERT 8 ¢ECK INC.

Mr Fred Dahl, the project superintendent with your firm, verbally authorized us to determine if the exposed soils in the footing excavations would provide adequate support for the design unit loadings. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of our hand auger borings and density testing, it is our opinion the foundation network included in our investigation should adequately support the design unit loadings. BUILDING PLAN We understand the proposed structure will be a single -story, slab -on -grade building approx- imately 125' x 61' in plan dimension. The structure will be supported by perimeter strip footings and two interior column pads designed to rest on natural soil having an allowable bearing capacity of 2000 psf. The bottom of the perimeter footings will be at project ele- vation 96'-4", while the two interior column pads will be founded at 98'-4". Finished floor is at project elevation 100'. INVESTIGATION METHODS AND RESULTS On July 29 we performed a visual inspection of the footing excavations. The exposed soils were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System, and estimates were made of their strength properties. A series of shallow hand auger borings were also put down to further determine local subsurface soil conditions. In addition, a hand penetrometer was also utilized to further determine the in -place density of the natural sands. A hand penetrometer relates the density of the soil from the resistance required to penetrate the soil stratum with a calibrated steel tipped probe. In addition, three density tests were also performed within the footing areas, the results of which were evaluated according to the maximum -minimum relation of cohesionless soil as designated by ASTM:D2049.70. At the time of our inspection, all footing areas had been excavated to designed bottom footing elevation,and natural sands were exposed at all footing areas. The results of our penetrometer readings and density tests indicated the natural sands were of adequate density to provide support for the 2000 psf design unit loadings. The results of these density tests are attached. AS A MUTUAL PROTECTION TO CLIENTS, THE PUBLIC AND OURSELVES. ALL REPORTS ARE SUBMITTED AS THE CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CLIENTS.

MN 55114 PHONE 612/645.3601 EXCAVATION INSPECTION REMARKS DATE: August 12, 1977 PAGE: 2 Due to the fact that no deep soil borings were conducted within the confines of the structure, we cannot warrant the competency of the soil beneath the depth of our shallow hand auger bor- ings. However, based on previous sail investigations in the immediate area, the likelihood of encountering inferior soil at depth is remote.
