( , ,-- ot Rq CD CD City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE (612) 427 -1410 FAX (612) 427 -5543 TDD (612) 427 -8591 1 Re: Site Plan for Bank Dear Rick: We are in receipt,of a Site Plan consisting of two (2) sheets, a Grading Plan and a Landscape Plan, ' dated January 26 & 29, 1996, prepared by Lampert Architects and Hakanson Anderson Associates. We are also in receipt of a Floor Plan and Building Elevations prepared by Lampert Architects dated February 9, 1996. The plan proposes to construct a bank on the east side of T.H. #47 at 142nd Avenue N.W. (Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, River's Bend Plaza 3rd Addition). We offer the following comments: nin • The property is zoned Planned Unit Developmnet for which banks are a permitted use. Access The site is proposed to have one access onto 142nd Avenue N.W. and one access onto Xkimo Street N.W. A right -in only is also proposed from T.H. #47. The issue of accesses onto T.H. #47 is one of the chief elements of the T.H. #47 Corridor Study which is currently being finalized. It is the, recommendation of that report that such accesses be discouraged. A discussion is presented supporting that policy (see pages 37 through 40 of the draft study which has been ' attached to this letter). Additionallly, where such accesses may be considered, they should not be within 600 feet of an intersection or another access since this distance represents a ten second reaction time for vehicles travelling 40 mph. This drive access would be located 320 feet from 142nd Avenue 4nd 200 feet from the access to River's Bend Plaza. The site plan has been forwarded to WDOT for review and comment. Lot Coverage: The site is 1.6 acres or 68,073 square feet in size. Lot coverage is restricted to 35% or 23,825 square feet; building coverage is proposed at 4,539 square feet. A possible future expansion of 2,0Q0 square feet is noted on the site plan. The lot coverage restriction would not be exceeded by such an expansion. 'li ' • The facility will be served by municipal utilities. Setbacks: The structure is proposed to be located on the common property line between Lots 3 and 4. If this becomes problematic for some reason, a minor subdivision would be required to eliminate the common property line and replat the property into one lot. It appears that the structure is oriented towards 142nd Avenue. On that basis, the structure meets the 35 foot front, 20 foot corner side yard, 35 foot rear yard setbacks and the T.H. #47 setback (60 feet from center of right - of -way plus the local applicable setback of 20 feet).
