I I I I I I I REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW; CASE OF BUILDING FASTENERS AND SHARP AND ASSOCIATES By: Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator CASE Background: The City of Ramsey has received a request for site plan review and approval from Dennis Sharp of Sharp and Associates Building Fasteners. The plan proposes to construct an office/warehouse facility on Lot 2 of the A.E.C. Energy Park 3rd Addition. The following items are enclosed: a) Site location map b) Site plan c) City Staff Review Letter dated July 28, 1998 Observations: The office warehouse use is consistent with the permitted uses in the Business Warehouse zoning district. The site plan proposes an initial building size of 31,404 square feet with a future addition of 19,352 square feet. The ultimate 'facility size complies with the 35% lot coverage restriction. In accordance with City Code, the exterior walls of the building are proposed to consist of concrete masonry units. The plan shows one access onto Sunwood Drive and two accesses onto the future Jasper Street. It has not been determined when Jasper Street will be constructed. Code requires a minimum of 1 loading berth; 4 loading docks and 2 overhead doors are proposed. All driveways, parking areas and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. Two waste storage areas are proposed to consist of materials matching the building and this is consistent with the 100% screening requirement in City Code. The Landscape Plans complies with the 20 foot wide landscape area requirement along Sunwood Drive and the future Jasper Street. Staff has recommended that the Landscape Plan be modified to provide more trees. The City Engineer will present a verbal report on the grading plan at the August 4 Planning Commission meeting. The draft Lighting Plan appears to comply with City Code requirements; fixture diagrams have been requested of the Developer. O5"
