City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 TDD (612) 427-8591 October 16, 1997 Ted Erkenbrack 925 Pierce Butler Route St. Paul, MN 55104 Re: Site Plan Review for Northern Airgas Dear Ted: We are in receipt of an undated site development plan prepared by Morrison/Walijarvi Architects, Inc. The site plan submittal also includes a Landscape Plan prepared by MorrisorCWalijarvi, a site survey prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates, a drainage plan prepared by Larson Engineering Of Minnesota, and three sheets of exterior elevations prepared by Morrison/Walijari Architects. The plan proposes to construct a 29,336 square foot office and warehouse structure and a I 1,440 square foot accessory building for Northern Airgas in Business Park 95 6th Addition. We offer the following comments: Zoning: The site is zoned Industrial for which office and warehouse is a permitted use. Access: The site is proposed to have two accesses onto the northerly extension of Radium Street from McKinley Street NW. The northernmost access is located 100 feet from the southerly entrance. This drive should be moved north as much as possible to decrease the conflicts between traffic entering Radium Street. A minimum separation of 150 feet is recommended. Currently, McKinley Street terminates as a cul-de-sac, a portion of which covers the southwest corner of the proposed site. It is anticipated that the cul-de-sac will need to be vacated and replaced with a 90 degree curve fi.om McKinley to Radium. The site plan shows two accesses to a 26 foot driveway which is located on what may become the extension of McKinley Street. This is acceptable to the City, however, the 26 foot driveway will be considered a private drive to be maintained by the property owner until such time that the 80 foot outlot is dedicated and improved as McKinley Street. Lot Coverage: The site is approximately 379,500 square feet in size and City Code restricts building coverage to 35% of the lot area or 132,825 square feet. The size of the proposed structure and accessory building is 40,776 squm/e feet, which equates to 10% lot coverage. The Business Park 95 covenants restricts impervious surface to 85%; the proposed site plan represents an impervious surface of 60%. I I I I I I I I I I i ii I, I I I i I I
