cAs #/,9 By: Zoning REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL; CASE OF ANOKA RAMSEY SPORTS CENTER ~.dministrator Sylvia Frolik and City Administrator Ryan Schroeder Background: John Noard of the Anoka Ramsey Sports Center at 6760 Hwy. #10 N.W. is requesting site plan approval to expand the accessory storage building on the property. The following items are enclosed: a) Site location map b) Si~e plan c) C{ty Staff review letter dated June 30, 1994 d) Proposed Site Plan Development Permit Observations: When the RivenWick development was platted, the City determined that Feldspar Street N.W. should be realig ~.~d. This MSA street was not completed at that rime due to the expense of that section of roadwity. As you can see by the site plan presented, the configuration of the Anoka Ramsey Sports ~..enter parcel is changing. Ivan Schwartzman has deeded the remnant parcel created by abandoned Feldspar right-of-way to the City. The City is proposing to deed the property to John ~qoard for the purpose of expanding his off-street parking and maneuvering area. As compensation ifor property received (estimated at a value of $20,000), Mr. Noard will pave the new section of F~ldspar Street N.W. from Rivenwick to Highway 4/10. The Engineering estimate of this project plt/s site work associated with it is $39,134.. 'Therefore, in addition to the land, tax increments (as opposed to MSA funds) are proposed to cover the $19,124 shortfall in the land exchange. The proposed site:plan meets all of City Code requirements with respect to lot coverage, setbacks, number and design of off-street parking spaces and loading areas, landscaping and architectural standards. Areas iaeeding to be addressed include amount of accessory building space allowed in the B-3 Highway Business District and site drainage. Accessory building space in the B-3 Highway Business District is restricted to 30% of the goss floor area of the principal building unless otherwise approved by City Council. Mr. Noard's principal building is 10,500 square feet in size. With the proposed expansion to the storage building, Mr. Noatd's accessory building space will be 12,000 square feet. In lieu of the fact that the intent of the expansion is to reduce or eliminate outside storaee of inventory on the property, an activity which is no longer permitted in the Highway business df'strict, City Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the accessory building space be allowed to exceed standards established in CityiCode. The site currently contains one access onto Riverdale and one onto Feldspar; the site plan proposes an additional acceg. S onto Riverdale. After the expansion, it doesn't appear that the existing access onto Riverdale wilt serve any particular function and Staff recommended elimination of it. In their review on July 5, !1994, the Planning Commission was of the opinion that two accesses onto Riverdale could be a benefit and recommended that Mr. Noard be allowed to retain the existing access onto Riverdltle after the new one is consnmcted.
