8) State reasons supporting the Development Standards Variance: (Additionally, complete the
attached question sheet entitled "Finding of Facts-Development Standards Variance").
A. The existing grocery store is 64,810 square feet and with the 13,596 square foot expansion the
total footprint will be 78,406 square feet, a 21% increase. The owner finds the added space and
upgrade will enhance their service to the customer and competitiveness.

E. The north 5 foot bufferyard contains 8 trees, 4 of which will be removed, 50%, due to the
expansion area foundation excavation and the relocation of utilities. The remaining 6'-10' of
green space between the building expansion and the lot line is not conducive to the proper
planting and care of trees, particularly with the proximity of a public watermain within 5' of the
lotline. •F. - • • •. ` .• .. . '. . - - .'.- • - - - - - . •; of

ch g the ,t^&ti o1-r_ P, les would require either the installation of more parking lot poles or
higher intensity light output from the fixture to achieve the same level of consistency and
safety. ■ QT
H. Th ecutive Drive is 5 feet in width and the distance between the curb
and lot line is less than 8 feet. With 10 feet or less between the building expansion and-fhb—lot
line, wi.en : - .. _ - alk to 12 feet would encroach onto i- • - • • s- . i• educe
the plantable greenspace in the bufferyard to between 2 and 6 feet. %. my/Ail
I. The site is allowed 3 signs on the west elevation through previous variances. Currently there is 1
- 88 square foot Kroger sign, 1 — 53 square foot Rx Drive-Thru sign, and 1 - 12.5 square foot
tenant sign. The expansion project calls for the addition of 1—39 square foot tenant sign to the
west elevation, and the addition of 1—88 square foot Kroger sign on the north elevation. The 1
additional tenant sign on the west elevation would alert the customer of the available service
within the store. The Kroger sign on the north elevation serves to enhance the makeup of the
facade and provides visibility to the Executive Drive frontage.
