I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I proposing a two-story addition to the-existing building that would add about 744 square'feet of kitchen space and 744 square feet of office space. The addition will be constructed where the current outdoor bar and grill is located. The proposed addition a_nd existing building complies' with the 35% building coverage restriction and all setback requirements. In the B-3 Zoning District, the exterior finish of the building is required to be brick or other masonry type of exterior material. The applicant is proposing to have vinyl siding on the new addition. The existing building has masonry like material as an exterior surface. City Code does allow for alternative materials to be used when approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. The addition will be in the rear of the building and will not be clearly visible from Hwy. 10. In accordance with City Code, a sufficient number of off-street parking spaces are provided. The current use has 316 parking spaces. The addition does not require additional parking. City Staff recommended site plan approval contingent upon compliance with the City Staff' Review Letter dated August 29, 2002. Gary Gruber, Diamonds Sports Bar and Grill, explained that the addition was being done to add some office space as well as replace the outdoor bar and kitchen area that no longer meets the new health department requirements. Instead of remodeling the kitchen to meet the new standards, they felt it would be beneficial to reconstruct the area with the new standards and provide for more office and storage space. EIe noted that they are requesting to use vinyl siding as opposed to the masonry type siding because it will match the color of the existing building and there would be no maintenance required on the vinyl siding. Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Reeve, to recommend that City Council grant site plan approval to Diamonds Sports Bar and Grill for a kitchen/office addition using the vinyl siding, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated August 29, 2002. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Johnson, Reeve, Brauer, and Kociscak. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Watson.

The property is located in the southeast corner of Alpine Drive and Nowthen Blvd. The Ramsey Dental Clinic would be on one lot and a second lot will be held for future development. The property proposed to be subdivided is approximately 4.53 acres. Lot 1 contains the Ramsey Dental Clinic and is shown as being just under an acre in size. Lot 2' is vacant and is shown to be slightly over 3.5 acres in size. The subject property is currently zoned B-1 Business and the Ramsey Comprehensive Plan shows the subject property as Places to Shop.
