I I I I I I I I I I I I I April 26, 1995, Revise, on Date May 18, 1995 Mr. James Brommer Kenko, Inc. : 1694 91st Avenue N.lg. Minneapolis, Mn 55449 Re: Site Plan Review; PIN 29-32-25-11-0011 Dear Mr. Brommen We are in receipt of ~ Site Plan consisting of (I) sheet and a Grading and Drainage Plan dated April 10, 1995, prepared by Meinhardt Associates Architects. Thc plans propose to construct an office and maintenanqe shop for Kenko, Inc. on Lot 3, Block 1, HY-10 Ramscy 4th Addition and Lot 2, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey 3rd Addition. We offer the following comments: Zoning; The site is zoned Industrial and the proposed office and maintenance building falls within the permitted uses for !this district.. l-.9t Coverage: The total area of the two lots involved in the development is approximately 6.9 acres. It is staffs reco~umendation that thc maximum lot coverage allowed be based on the area of the lot that the buildit~gs are proposed to be constructed upon or LOt 3, Block I, HY-10 Ramsey 4th Addition. The are[~ of that lot is approximately 5.5 acres or 243,600 square feet. Lot coverage is restricted to 35 % pr 85,260 square feet. The foot print of the two story office building is approximately 2,200 ~uare feet and the footprint of the maintenance building is 6,000 square feet for a total of 8,200 square feet. Accessory Buildines: iCity Code restricts accessory buildings to 30% of the gross floor area of the principal'building ~)n the property. It is City Staffs opinion that the principal use on this property will be the maintenance and repair of equipment and therefore the office structure is accessory to that activity. Therefdre, the office structure is restricted to 30% of the size of the maintenance building or 1800 squa~.~ feet; the footprint of the office structure is 2,200 square feet. In lieu of the substantial improverr!.ents proposed to the site, City Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission and City Council waive the 30% accessory building restriction. Udli6es: The facility Rs not in the urban service area and will be served by on-site septic and well. _Setbacks: As with lotlcoveragc, staff is recommending that the setbacks be based on the location of property lines for th~ lot on which the structures will be built. ' The sumcture setback from Armstrong Blvd. is 110 feet from centerline or 50 feet from property line, whichever is grea[ter. The office structure will be more than I40 feet from the property line. The proposed locationlof the office structure far exceeds the minimum side and rear yard setbacks. In the case of the mai~enance building, we have established that the Armstrong Blvd. side is to be considered the front y~d. Site Plan Review Letter Landscaping and Screenine: According to Section 9.11.09 of City Code, a 20 foot wide landscape area is required paralle~l to all public streets and equipment stored outside is required to be screened from all public roads. ~All plantings and fencing are to be located 20 feet from streets. qq
