Ferry Street Anok,% Mn 55303 ~: Site Plan Rev/ew;, Anoka Electric Cooperative (AEC) Operations Center D~Doug: We are in receipt of a Site Plan consisting of (1) sheet dated 3ruly 24, 1995, drawn by Boatman Moos Pfister Rudin & Associates. We are also in receipt of a Landscaping Plan dated July 20, 19,95, a Grading and Drainage ?lan dated July 7, 1995, and Building Elevations dated July 24, 1995, also consisting of one (1) sheet each prepared by Boatman Kroos Pfister Rudin & ~ssociates The plan proposes to construct an operations center for Anoka Electric Cooperative (~C). We offer the following comments: ~ The site is zoned Business Warehouse and the AEC facility would be considered a pernfttted use. ~;~t Coverage: The site is approximately 37.5 acres in size or 1,633,500 square feet. Lot coverage i~ restricted to 35% or 571,725 square feet.. The proposed size of the structure is 185,000 square f.:eet. The first floor wilt contain 47,900 square feet of office space, 15,600 square feet of'storage aC'em 2,880 square feet of meeting space, 41,292 square feet of heated garage, 34,726 square feet of unheated garage and 17,662 square feet of heated maintenance area. The second floor wilI cgntain 20,330 square feet of office area and 4,575 square feet of office expansion area. Outside Storage: Outside storage is restricted to 10% of the site area or 165,528 square feet. On ~e site plan submitted, it appears that there are 2 areas proposed for outside storage: material storage in the southwest corner of the site and pole storage in the southeast comer of the site. It is e~timated that these areas total 71,500 square feet. In order to meet City Code requirements with respect to hard surfacing, the asphalt line in the vicinity of these storage areas will have to be ~odified to include the pole storage area also. There is also a 900 square foot cold storage area jroposed to be located just southeast of the building and it is staff's understanding that this is ~tended to be a partially enclosed storage area. More detail is required about this structure, the cpnstmcdon materials and its use before City Staff can render an opinion as to whether or not it meets City Code requirements. ~tilities; The facility will be served by municipal utilities. Staff would recommend that a private fire line be included in the site plan which would provide hydrant ava/lability completely around the flacility. Setbacks: The structure setback from C.S.A.H. #116 and #56 is 110 feet from centerline or 50 feet from property line, whichever is greater. The structure meets these setback requirements.
