City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (612) 427-8591 I I I April 30, 1997 Scott Quiring Amcon Corporation 200 West Highway # 13 Burnsville, Minnesota 55337 Regarding: Site Plan Review of Amcon West Dear Scott, We are in receipt of a one-sheet site plan and a one-sheet building elevation plan prepared by the Amcon Corporation dated April 14, 1997. The plan proposes to construct a 48,390 square foot multi-tenant office, warehouse and manufacturing facility in the Business Park 95 4th Addition. We offer the following comments: Zoning: The site is zoned Industrial for which office, manufacturing and warehousing are permitted uses. Access: The site is proposed to have two accesses onto McKinley Street NW. The western access drive will be somewhat problematic particularly for larger semitractor-trailer units. There will be approximately 100 feet from C.R. #57 to the center of the driveway. Tractor-trailer units can be as long as 60 feet, leaving little distance for stacking of vehicles on McKinley waiting to turn onto Sunfish. If the western access did not need to accommodate such traffic, the access could be relocated further eastward and would be more central to the facility, tt would also allow for the preservation of the woodland on the southwestern comer of the property which provides good screening of the dock areas from traffic on C.R. #57. Lot Coverage: The site is approximately 5.3 acres in size and City Code restricts building coverage to 35 percent of a lot area, or 80,800 square feet in this case. The size of the proposed structure is 48,390 square feet and with a proposed expansion of 22,560 square feet, the site is ultimately proposed for 70,950 square feet of building coverage. The proposed site plan does not exceed the 85 percent impervious lot coverage restriction in the Business Park 95 covenants. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
