EXHIBIT F <br />Hardcover <br />Total Area of <br />ProDcrtv <br />Allowed <br />Hardcover <br />Existing <br />Hardcover <br />Proposed <br />Hardcover <br />68,897 s.f <br />24,114 s.f <br />(30%; 250’- <br />500’ zone, <br />35%: 500’- <br />1000’ zone) <br />62,106 s.f.* <br />(90%) <br />62,106 s.f. <br />(90%) <br />NO <br />CHANGES <br />PROPOSED <br />Because the applicant is proposing site improvements associated with the commercial site <br />plan review a hardcover analysis'^is required. The hardcover was figured for the entire <br />site rather than zones due to the commercial nature of the property and the amount of <br />hardcover that currently exists. <br />The proposal doesn’t include ary new hardcover. The major changes that should be <br />noted is the 16’ x 132’ proposed entrance and the existing upper gravel area being figured <br />as hardcover as it is needed to meet parking requirements The non-hardcover areas of <br />the site are a small area of grass along the southern boundary of the site facing residential <br />property and a smaller, un-kept landscape area between the retaining walls separating the <br />lower parking lot from the upper paiking lot. The proposed hardcover breakdown is as <br />follows; <br />BUILDING !11,032 s.f <br />PROPOSED ENTRANCE ADDITION 2,026 s.f <br />LOWER LEVEL GARAGE 2,671 s.f <br />BITUMINOUS PARKING AREA 31,350 s.f. <br />CONCRETE WALLS 2,811 s.f <br />GRAVEL PARKING AREA 11.391 s.f <br />RETAINING WALLS 825 s.f <br />TOTAL 90% <br />HARDSHIP <br />The nature of this particular property is retail establisliments at the front of the building <br />and entertainment oriented businesses (Navarre Lanes/The Crib/Proposed Game Room) <br />at the rear of the building. The grade changes between the rear and front of the building <br />are quite drastic and cause the need for a stairway system and retaining walls. Parking <br />also needs to be accommodated at the front and rear further lessening potential areas for <br />green space, all of which are hardships which have caused the existing 90% hardcover <br />percentage. <br />The existing gravel parking area in the northeast corner of the site is the site of an old gas <br />station and has been the subject of past actions by the Pollution Control Agency in order <br />to clean the site. Those actions have since been closed and there are no current <br />environmental issues associated with the gravel area. This brings the potential for added <br />green space. The applicant has proposed a par ’xing plan for the lot which was reviewed
