I I I I I I I I I I I I I May 25, 2001 Revised June 19, 200l Scott Wold SW Construction 90 [ West Highway # 10 Anoka, MN 55303 Re: Site Plan - North Pine Office Building Dear Mr. Wold: We are in receipt of a Site Plan (Al), Landscape Plan (L1), Floor Plan (A2), and Building Elevation Plan (A3) prepared by Lampert Architects, dated May 15, 2001, revised June 5, 2001. We are also in receipt of a Utility and Grading Plan prepared by Howard Green Company, dated May 25, 2001. We offer the following comments: General: The site plan is proposing to develop a two-story multi-tenant office building consisting of 12,335 square feet. The site plan indicates that 1,400 square feet will be utilized for storage area. The site plan indicates that the first floor of the proposed office building will be 9,379 square feet in size and the second floor will be 2,956 square feet in size. The .parcel is generally located at the intersection of 153rd Avenue and State Highway # I0. Zoning: The site is currently zoned B-1 Business; multi-tenant office buildings are a permitted use. Lot Coverage: The parcel is approximately 74,681 square feet (1.71 acres) in size. Lot coverage is restricted to 35% or 26,139 square feet. The proposed footprint of the multi-tenant office building is 9,379 square feet, which equates to a lot coverage of approximately 13%. Utilities: Urban Services are not available to the site and the facility is proposed to be served by an on- site septic system, if the comprehensive plan is adopted with a policy statement requiring urban services for commercial development, Staff is recommending that the development permit require connection to urban services within 2 years of availability. Setbacks: The building location exceeds the 35-foot front and rear yard and 20-foot side yard setback requirements. City Code requires a 20-foot green space area adjacent to all public roads, the site plan complies with this requirement. Screening: The surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west are all zoned B-1 Business; City Code does not require screening due to the abutting parcels also being zoned business. Landscaping: The landscaping plan is generally acceptable.
