The property is located in the northwest corne~; of the intersection of McKinley Street and Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. The site will have two ac~sses onto McKinley Street. a) Stte location map - Business Park 95 & Command Corp. parcel b) S!te plan c) Oty Staff review letter dated August 31, 1995 d) Pl'oposed development permit Notification: ~ Site plans are n~ required to be subjected to public hearings. In addition, the surrounding parcels are zoned Indusffial and this development would have no peculiar impact on any adjacent industrial property. Therefore, no notice of the pending development to adjacent parcels was necessary. Observations:i The building is l~roposed to be 53,000 square feet in size; 10,000 square feet of office space and 43,000 square fe~et of warehouse and manufacturing. The exterior facing finish on the building is proposed to be aicombination of glass curtain walls, decorative and standard concrete block. The proposed p,roject meets City Code requirements for lot coverage, setbacks, architectural standards, land,aping, waste storage, and paved and curbed off-street customer/employee parking spaces and loadi~ g areas. In an effort to protect the City's investment in both the plat of Business Park 95 and the ~ndividual projects within the plat, City Staff recommended that the landscaped areas be develoPed, with irrigation systems and that any mechanical units on the roof be screened or color matched to the roof. At their meeting on September 5, the Planning Commission clarified that code does not require an irrigation system for landscaped areas nor color matching or screening of m~hanical units on roofs. Mr. Meyer of Smith Architectts responded that these suggestions are r~ot a problem. The Drainage Plan is acceptable to the City, but must also be reviewed by the Anoka County Highway Depa~ment. A permit must also be obtained from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization. The site wil! accommodate the 47,000 square foot future expansion to the manufacturing/wiarehouse area noted on the site plan. Recommendation: City Staff and ithe Planning Commission recommend site plan approval contingent upon compliance withiCity Staff review letter. Council: Action: Motion ~: Approve]deny the proposed site plan for Command Corporation on Lot 2, Block 1, Businessl Park 95, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff review letter dated August 311, 1995.
