Box 336 Elk River, MN 55330 Re: Site Plan - Ramsey Towne Square Dear Mr. Johnson: We are in receipt of a Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Floor Plans and Elevations consisting of four (4) sheets, prepared by Lampert Architects dated April 13, 2000. We are also in receipt of the Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control, Utility, and Details Plan consisting of two (2) sheets, prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates dated April 13, 2000. We offer the following comments: General: The site-plan proposes to develop a 17,815 square foot retail store with a potential drive-in on Lot 2, Block 1, River/47 Plaza Addition. The site is generally located west of State Trunk Highway No. 47 (TH47) and north of County Road 116. Zoning: The site is zoned B-1 Business. The City Code permits retail business, eating and drinking establishments, offices, banks and medical clinics. Lot Coverage: The site is 117,420 square feet in size. Lot coverage is restricted to 35% or 41,097 square feet. The proposed size of the retail building is 17,815 square feet, which equates to a lot coverage of approximately 15%. Utilities: The facility will be served by municipal utilities. Setbacks: The building location meets the 35 foot front, 35 foot rear, and 10 foot side setback requirements. Screening: The abutting properties to the north, south and east are Business uses. City Code does not require screening between non-residential uses. Landscaping: The following points must be addressed to meet the m/n/mum standards for the landscape plan to be viewed as acceptable: 1. A minimum spacing of 35 feet for trees is required along all street frontages. This boulevard treatment should be considered for the side and rear streets as well. -200- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
