Agenda - Planning Commission - 10/05/1999

Monarch Homes Page 3 of 3 September 28, 1999 This grading plan purposes to divide the drainage from the impervious area, such that the front parking lot flows to the street, while the building and the side and rear parking lots drain to a detention pond located on the south property line. This detention pond would overflow onto the neighboring residential property, given a sufficiently large storm event. The adjacent property owner to the south has had a history of drainage problems, as the structure is built low on the lot. I would recommend the following modifications: 1. The rear half of the structure be raised two feet so that the lowest building elevation would be 874.5, which is 1.67 feet higher than the street, and 2. The existing berm along the south property line be raised to a minimum elevation of 873. As an alternative to the above, calculations could be submitted which would demonstrate that a seven-inch snowmelt/perception event could be contained on the property. Access: The site proposes to have one access from Riverdale Drive. Sign: A sign permit is required for site signagel The cost of the permit is $100.00. No roof sign is allowed and no wall sign may extend above the top of the wall. The parcel may have 1 free standing sign at 100 square feet and wail signs are limited to 15% of the area of the front wall and 50 % of that allotment may be distributed to other wails of the facility. The building elevations propose a sign or painted lettering on the north wall of the building to identify the business. Storm Water Management Fee: The City has enacted a Stormwater Management Fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars per commercial acre. The amount of Stormwater Management Fee due on Lot 2, Block 4, Alpaca Estates is Five Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($5,600.00) (1.6 acres x $3500). A cash payment will be required prior to the City issuing a Building Permit. The Planning Commission will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 5, 1999, at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, to review the proposed site plan. A copy of the case cover sheet is enclosed. You, or your representative, should be present at the meeting to answer any questions that may arise. If you have any questions, please call our office at 427-1410. Sincerely, Frolik Zoning Administrator City Engineer Sean Walther Community Development Assistant //
