By: Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator Background: The City of Ramsey has received a request for site plan review and approval from Indianhead Construction for A&R Manufacturing. The plan proposes to construct an office/manufacturing facility on Lot 1, Block 1, Business Park 95 7th Addition. The following items are enclosed: · Site location map · Site plan · City Staff Review Letter dated July 29, 1998 · Original landscape plan dated 6/29/98 · Modified landscape plan dated 8/3/98 · Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated August 4, 1998 (will be available at the meeting Observations: The office/manufacturing use is consistent with the permitted uses in the Industrial zoning district. The site is approximately 1 acre in size and the building will be 11,049 square feet; this converts to a lot coverage of 24% which is in compliance with City Code. The exterior walls of the building are proposed to be a combination of painted rock face, split-rib and scored concrete block. The plan shows one access onto 140th Avenue N.W.; the building will be oriented towards Unity Street. The overhead loading doors are located on the south and east walls, not facing public streets. All driveways, parking areas and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous. The site plan has been modified to specify the use orB-612 concrete curbing around the perimeter of all blacktop. Waste storage areas will be provided for inside the building. The Landscape Plans complies with the 20 foot wide landscape area requirement along Unity and 140th. Staff had recommended that the 'future plantings' identified on the 6/29/98 landscape plan (on the south and east sides of the property) be incorporated into the current planting proposal. The applicants submitted a modified landscape plan dated 8/3/98 at the August 4 Planning Commission meeting. The plan reduced the number of trees in the 'current' planting plan from 7 to 4 and retained a 'future' planting plan that reduced the number of plantings from 19 to 5. Staffs position is that the 9 trees shown on the modified plan are the minimum that will be accepted, but all 9 should be installed under the current planting plan. "Future' planting plans can be cumbersome from a follow-up aspect.
