Bo~ 1228 <br />St. Cloud,, Mn 56302 <br /> <br />Re; <br /> <br />Siite Plan Review; Retail Center <br />L4t 1, Block 1, Riverview Estates <br /> <br />Dear Craig: <br /> <br />We have received the proposed site plan for the development of a retail facility on Lot 1, <br />Block 1, Riverview Estates. The site plan consists of one sheet dated April 26, 1996, <br />prepared by Miller Architects & Builders. We are also in receipt of a Boundary & <br />Topograpl~y Survey prepared by Kemper & Associates, Inc., dated March 15, 1996; and <br />Exterior E~evations and Floor Plan dated April 26, 1996, prepared by Miller Architects & <br />Builders. We offer the following comments: <br /> <br /> General: 'The site plan proposes the development of a 13,680 square foot retail facility <br /> with futura expansions identified at 13,680 square feet and 9,230 square feet each. <br /> <br /> Zoning: ~he subject property is zoned B-3 Highway Business for which enclosed retail is <br /> a permitted~ use. <br />Access: The one access onto Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and the two accesses onto <br />Riverdale l~rive N.W. are acceptable. The site plan also proposes a right-in/right-out only <br />onto T.H. #10, which Staffdoes not find acceptable. The site plan has been forwarded to <br />Mn/DOT for review and comment. <br /> <br />Lot CoverSge: Structure coverage in the B-3 Highway Business District is restricted to <br />35% of the tot. The area of the site is 216,258 square feet; the total square footage of the <br />currently p~posed structure and the two future additions is 36,590 square feet, which is in <br />compliance!iwith the 75,690 square foot structure coverage restriction. Apparently, there is <br />a possibilityi that additional structure space may be developed in the northeast comer of the <br />site also asi computations for this area were added into the total impervious surface <br />calculations ~shown on the site plan. Even if this entire area identified as Outlot A were <br />developed v~ith structure, the site would still be in compliance with the structure coverage <br />restriction. · <br /> <br />However, We subject property is also in the Mississippi River Critical Overlay District <br />where lot coverage is restricted to 30% of the lot area and is defined as including <br />impervious slurfaces in addition to structures. The site plan proposal reflects a 77% lot <br />coverage for; structures and impervious surfaces. A variance to the 30% lot coverage <br />restriction has been applied for. <br /> <br /> <br />
