^TOLD <br />DEVELOPMENT COMPANY <br />l>-t <br />August 19,1998 <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelly ParUay <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />Dear Sir or Madam: <br />TOLD Development Company is making application for Site Plan Review and an Amendment to current <br />zoning code (or re-zone) for the propert>' located along County Road 19 (partially vacated) at Nevar Lane. <br />We are proposing to; 1) demolish the existing, abandoned church, 2) re-grade the site, 3) construct a free <br />standing Walgreens Drug Store. <br />The Walgreens Drug Store will total approximately 13,905 square feet with approximately 67 parking <br />stalls and a dual drive through prescription lane. <br />The building will be brick on all four elevations and will include a brick wall for screening the truck <br />loading area and the trash storage area. The building meets all set back requirements and parking <br />requirements found in the Cit>* of Orono code, but does not meet the hard surface requirements. We <br />therefore seek a variance to the hard surface requirements. The overall impervious surface calculations are <br />found elsewhere in this application. The elevations included in this application are Walgreens protot>pe. <br />We can modify the elevations to address any design concerns of the City. <br />The entire parcel is presently zoned B5. It is our understanding that B5, as presently written, does not <br />allow diug store use. It does, however, allow some of the ancillar>' items found in a drug store.3^ <br />Therefore, we are making application for either; 1) a modification of what is permitted under B5 zoning <br />allow ‘'drugs, candy, ice-cream, soft drinks, cosmetics and other usual drug store merchandise”, or 2) to tl i <br />allow' the parcel to be re-zoned to Bl. <br />Enclosed are applications that are complete for both the Site Plan Review and Zoning Amendment, e.xcept <br />for the labels, which are ordered and will be shipped directly to you from Hennepin County to the City'. '.J <br />We will be available in the coming weeks to provide additional information as required or requested by thef <br />City'. We also can provide any additional drawings, elevations or other clarifications required by the City ‘ <br />Verv' ti^v vours. <br />Vice President - Dwelopment <br />RHC/kmm <br />Enclosures <br />MIliMEAPOLIS • MILWAUKEE <br />WEDGWOOD COMMERCE CENTRE • 6900 Wedgwood Road.
