C ity of Ramsey PHONE(612)427 -1410 FAX (612) 427 -5543 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 TDD (612) 427 -8591 June 1, 1995 Sam Van Tassel Fayette Funding 1240 West 98th Street Bloomington, Mn 55431 Re: Site Plan Review; Superamerica Dear Mr. Van Tassel: We are. in receipt of a Site Plan consisting of (1) sheet dated May 11, 1995, drawn by C. Childers. The plan proposes to construct a convenience store with gas and car wash in the proposed plat of River /47 Plaza. We offer the following comments: Zo ning: The site was recently rezoned from B -1 to B -2 Business to accommodate a convenience store that also offered fuel services. Lot Coverage; The site is approximately 2.5 acres in size or 111,458 square feet, Lot coverage is restricted to 35% or 39,010 square feet. The proposed size of the principal structure is 3,520 square feet and the accessory structure (car wash) is 864 square feet for a total of 4,384 square feet. Uti lit ies: The facility will be served by municipal utilities. Setbacks: The structure setback from C.S.A.H. #116 and T.H. #47_ is 110 feet from centerline or 50 feet from property line, whichever is greater. Both the principal and the accessory structure meet these setback requirements. In addition, it is Staff s understanding that there will be a private service road constructed along the west property line to provide access to the three lots in River /47 Plaza.. The exact alignment of that service mad is not reflected on the site plan and the car wash structure will have to meet a 35 foot setback from that service road. creening: No screening is required as the site is surrounded by commercial properties. Landacapin Section 9.11.09 of City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped area along all streets. it appears from the site plan that only a 12 foot yard is proposed along T.H. #47 and an 18 foot yard along C.S.A.H. #116. The remainder of the landscape plan is acceptable. Archit chiral Standards City Code restricts structure heights to 35 feet and exterior wall finishes must be of material that is 100% other than metal on the exposed walls. The site plan specifies a one -story building and it is assumed that it will not exceed 35 feet in height. The service island canopy is also subject to the 35 foot height restriction. Although the building elevation provided does not identify the construction material, it is also assumed that the exterior facing on the walls will not be metal. Wade Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles shall be stored within a completely screened structure or container. In accordance with City Code, the site plan identifies a waste storage area enclosed by an 8 foot high wood fence. 0 1 10 �11 L �I t
