Since that time the developer has acquired the parcel immediately to the west and is presenting a revised site plan on 3 acres instead of the original site plan on 1.5 acres. This acquisition allows compliance with the County recommendation that access on Ramsey Boulevard be aligned with the access to Holiday Stationstore on the east side of Ramsey Boulevard and grovide sufficient space for the septic system. Also, the recommendation from Mn/DOT is for the access on Highway 10 to be further west to accommodate adequate acceleration and deceleration lanes on Highway 10. The propo~ project meets City Code requirements for lot coverage, setback, numbe~ and design of off-meet parking spaces, landscaping, and screened waste enclosure. The exterior walls are proposed to be a combination of brick and masonite tiding. City Co~ requires the exterior to be either natural or prefabricated brick or stone, nnless a different material is approved by the City Council. Staff recom,gads that only a maintenance free siding be allowed. Commissioner Jensen asked the color of the brick and whether a different material than masonite could be u~d. Thc representative from Burgea' King answered that the brick color is tan. He stated that the ~nite siding could be changed to metal.
