Ben Deemer, 14501 Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W., Ramsey, stated he is in favor of Mr. Schroeder's option. This is going to be an awfully expensive park trail. An option would be to not do it and wait for development of his property. This will be the only piece chopped off. l-Ie stated he worked hard with Mr. Peterson to get his own access to his property which he did not get. He feels this is the best solution. When he develops his property, the City will get park dedication and easement. He offered to make it a covenant when the City purchased property for Sunwood Drive N.W. He added that the Park and Recreation Commission was basically told that this was their last chance to get park dedication or trail easement. Harlan Rude, 6219 - 144th Lane N.W., Ramsey, stated that he would be in favor of going along with the idea of the development and see what happens in the future. He added that he was not really in fi~vor of the trail. He inquired about a walkaround as he heard that was an option. Mr. Schroeder replied that this had not been discussed at the City. Mr. Rude stated he would be in favor of getting the easement down to the park in the future. Mr. Schroeder stated that Staff is recommending approval of the final plat contingent upon staff and the developer taking one more "shot" at pm'k trail easement. If it is not possible to get dry land, tl~ere will be no trail easement. Ms. Frolik stated that il' the trail easement is not possible, $3,400 will be given for park dedication. Motion by Councihneml)er Ha,'din and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to adopt Resolution ~)4-07-150 granting final plat approval to Chestnut Hill 5th Addition contingent upon the Developer' entering into a development agreement with the City and resolution of the trail easemem situation. Motion carried. Voting 'Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councitmembers Hardin, Zimmerman, Beyer and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #12: Requesl for Site Plan Approval; Case of Anoka Ramsey Sports Cenler Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Mr. John Noard of the Anoka Ramsey Sports Center at 6760 Itighway itl() N.W. is requesting site plan approval to expand the accessory storage building on his property. She explained that City Code requirements are met with respect t'o lot coverage, setbacks, number and design of off-street parking spaces and loading areas, landscaping and architectural standards. The amount of accessory building space allowed in the B-3 Highway Business District and site drainage still needs to be addressed. The accessory building space in tile B-3 Highway Business District is restricted to 30 percent of the gross t'loor area of the principal building unless otherwise approved by City Council. Mr. Noard's principal bt, ilding is 10,500 square feet in size. With the proposed expansion to the storage building, Mr. Noard's accessory building space will be 12,000 square IYet. Itl [iett of the fitct that the intent of the expansion is to reduce or eliminate outside storage of inventory on the property, an activity which is no longer permitted in tile Highway Business District, City Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that tile accessory building space be allowed to exceed standards established in City Code. She sta~ed that the site currently has an access onto Riverdale and one onto City Council/July 26, 1994 Page 21 of 27
