r Off Street Parking � esi= In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off - street parking, loading and maneuvbring areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B- ' 612 concrete curbin. Off Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires 1 parking space for every 200 square feet of retail space. The facility includes approximately 1,600 square feet of retail space; a minimum of 8 plr 4g spaces are required and 17 are proposed. ' Lighting: An exten r lighting plan has been shown on the site plan. Numerous metal halide area lights are proposed mound the circumference of the site. Details of the proposed lighting should be submitted in order toevaluate whether the lighting meets City standards. Drainage and Grading The plan submitted identifies the general direction of runoff flow which indicates the majori of the runoff would eventually be directed westward and discharged to the County ditch. It is ecessary that runoff for paved areas receive sedimentation treatment prior to ' discharge. The C unty also has a policy of limiting discharge to its highway ditches to predevelopment levejls. It would be preferable to discharge the ponded runoff to the wetland to the west. We would also request submittal of a revised grading plan which includes spot elevations and grades. Because of the relative flatness of this site, you may wish to consider including storm piping in the final drainage plan. Access The site wi have access onto a private service road along the west property line that will provide access to aS.A.H. #116 and T.H. #47. Staff supports the concept of private service roads in commercifl districts as it eliminates the number of accesses required onto major thoroughfares and pi#vate owners can maintain their accesses, especially in winter conditions, in a more timely fashion than the City would be able to accomplish. i gn: There seems {o be some conflicting information with regards to the ground or pylon sign ' proposed. The site plan indicates the placement of a 148 square foot ground sign at the corner of C.S.A.H. #116 and I T.H. #47; the sign drawing provided indicates a 92 square foot sign. Sign regulations establU a 100 square foot size limit, 25 foot height restriction, 12 foot vertical clearance when the s gn is within 25 feet of any road right of way, and one ground or free standing ' sign per parcel. Ad 'donally, the City of Ramsey has also identified the corner of C.S.A.H. #116 and T.H. #47 as an appropriate location for a Ramsey entry sign. Perhaps through further discussion, an agreement can be reached that accomplishes the needs of the facility and the City. 1 The Planning Commission will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, 1995, at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 11153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W., to review the proposed site plan. A copy of the case cover sheet is inclosed. You, or your representative, should be present at the meeting to answer any question that may arise.
