CASE REQUEST FOR REVISED SITE PLAN APPROVAL; CASE OF AMCON CORPORATION By: Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator Background: The City of Ramsey has received a revised site plan for approval from Amcon Corporation. The plan approved in 1997 was for a 49,390 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse facility on Lot 1, Block 2, Business Park 95 4th Addition. The approved plan included a future expansion of approximately 20,000 square feet. The developer has made a decision to construct the entire structure in one phase and thus the site plan approval needs to be amended for a 69,440 square foot facility. Chem-Graphics will be the anchor tenant in this multi-tenant facility.
