ty <br /> of Ramsey <br />1515~ NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 <br /> <br />PHONE (612) 427~1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 <br /> TDD (612) 427-8591 <br /> <br />June 29, 1995 <br /> <br />Matt Hinrichs <br />Blue Velvet, Inc. <br />1319 Oakwew Way <br />Anoka, Mn 55303 <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Site Plan l~eview; Car Wash Expansion <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Hinrichs: <br /> <br />We are in receipt Of a Site Plan consisting of (1) sheet dated June 8, 1995, prepared by Grace-Lee. <br />The plan propose~, to construct a 3,570 square foot expansion to the former Tender Touch Car <br />Wash at 14101 St~ Francis Blvd. N.W. to convert the facility to a full-serve wash. We offer the <br />following commenB: <br /> <br />Zonin e: The site il~ part of River's Bend Plaza Addition and is zoned Planned Unit Development, <br />for which there wet'e no specific performance standards established. Therefore, Staff defers to the <br />B-1 Business DisMct standards for reviewing development within this PUD. <br /> <br />Lot Coverage: Tt{e site is approximately .6 acres in size or 27,500 square feet. Lot coverage is <br />restricted to-35% O;r 9,625 square feet. The size of the existing structure is 3,132 square feet and <br />the 3,570 square fc0. t addition results in a total lot coverage of 6,702 square feet. <br /> <br />Utilities: The facili!Y is currently served by municipal utilities. <br /> <br />Setbacks: The setback from the front property line is not a concern with this expansion plan. The <br />expansion will me4t the 10 foot side yard setback along the north and south property lines but it is <br />1 foot shy of the 3~ foot setback along the rear property line. It is staff's understanding that the <br />Applicant desires t~,at the approved site plan development permit grant a 1 foot variance to the 35 <br />foot rear yard setback in order to facilitate the 105 foot long expansion necessary to convert the <br />facility to one of full serve. Staff recommends approval of the 1 foot deviation from the rear yard <br />setback. <br /> <br />Landscaping; Sec[ion 9.11.09 of City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped area along all <br />streets. Although t~e site plan does not clearly indicate it, what is shown as the easternmost curb <br />line is actually a rel~cation of the existing curb line 12 feet to the east or right on the property line. <br />The Xkimo Street right-of-way or boulevard would have to fulfill the requirement for a landscape <br />area along Xkimo ~d the site plan indicates that there will be 17 feet remaining between the curb <br />and the street paveSent. In order to improve traffic patterns on the site, especially with the turn <br />radius needed to en[er the car wash at the east end of the site, Staff is recommending approval to <br />relocate the east cur.b line to the property line and allowing for the landscape area to be fulf'flled by <br />Xkimo Street right 6f way. <br /> <br /> <br />
