Si~e plan dated received by the City on January 20, 1995 ~ty Staff review letter dated January 30, 1995 pertaining to January 20 site plan Site Option 'E' Siie Plan Development Permit Observations: The building is t¢ be constructed of pre-cast concrete panels and will be served by sanitary sewer and municipal Wpter. The main level is proposed at 19,600 square feet and the upper mezzanine level at 5,000 square feet. The proposed project meets City Code requirements for lot coverage, architectural standards, setbacks and landscaping. Although there ~re projected to be 40 employees on the maximum working shift, it has been indicated that thee could be occasions when all 55 employees would be required to be on the site. The employee p~king lot is proposed at 40 spaces and there is a 10-space visitor parking lot at the front entrance to[the building. The applicant's have noted that there is additional space on the site to expand the pa~king areas if necessary. The applicant has also indicated that the site plan will be modified to include the standard B-612 concrete curbing around the perimeter of all bituminous surfacing. In keeping with Prior development to the east, construction of an 8 foot wide pedestrian pathway is being required p~allel to County Road #I 16 for the entire length of the property. The loading dock and waste storage area will be visible from County Road #116 and accordingly, screening has be~n proposed. The type, size and quantity of plantings and/or fencing needs to be identified on the ~ite plan. The site plan w~ts forwarded to Anoka County for review and they have verbally expressed concern with th~ proposal for two accesses onto County Road #116. In anticipation of the County's recomrhendation for one access and the added pavement costs for that adjustment to the s~te development, Miller Arch~t,ects and Wendell s dewsed what ~s referred to ~n your enclosures as Site Option 'E'. l~ite Option 'E retained two accesses but relocated them to align with street and driveway inters~tions on the south side of County Road #116. At the date of this writing, Staff and the applicants are awaiting a decision from the Anoka County Highway Department regarding the two access point proposal. An accurate grading and drainage plan cannot be prepared until there is a decision from Anoka County regarding whether the site will have one or two access points. Because the weather is not conducive to we' :land delineation, the City Engineer has recommended that grading be restricted to areas having an flevation of at least 862 feet.
