Ramsey, Mn 55303 Re: Review of Site Plan for expansion of Accessory Storage Building Lot 1, Block 1, RIVERSIDE WEST PIN 34~32-25-13-0002 Dear John: We have receiv, ed the proposed site plan for the expansion of the accessory storage building to the Anoka Ramse)~ Sports Center. Thc site plan consists of 3 sheets (site plan, ~ading and drainage plan, landscapihg plan), drawn by Peter R.. Raafikka of t-lakanson Anderson Associates, lnc., and is dated June ~8, 1994. We are also in receipt of building elevations prepared by Adkins Construction Inc. dated June 15, 1994. We offer the following comments: Zoning: The subject property is zoned B-3 I--I/ghway Business and the principal use of the property, recreational equipment sales, is a permitted use in this District. The proposed expansion is ro the accessory warehouse on the property and accessow buildings are perminetl in the B-3 H/ghway Business DisuScu Lo: Size.: The subject property is 1.93 acres or 82,,102 square feet in size, including afdirion~ property to be acquir~ as a result of the reatignmem of Feldspar Street N.W. ~o? Coverage: The subject property is resuScted ~o a 35% lot coverage or 29,436 square feet. The existing principal building is 10,500 square feet; the existing accessory, building is 4,000 ~;quare feet; Se proposed expansion to the accessoD, building is 8,000 square feet; for a tora:! lot coverage of 22,500 square feet, which is in compliance with City Code but renders the parcel developed to the maximum. Accessor~, Structures' Accessory, structures in the B-3 Highway Business DisuSct are resrr/ctec~to 30% of the ~oss area of the principal building unless otherwise approved by City CoUncil. If the expansion to the accessory, warehouse is approved, it represents just over 100¢'o of the ~oss area of the principal building. City Staff recommends approval of the oversized accessory, building in order to eliminate outside storage on the propert3', which is ho longer pertained in the t..Iighway Business district. Building Elevation: City Code requires the finished floor elevation to be 18 inches above the cent~lines of Riverdale Dr/ye and Feldspar Street N.W. The proposed structure .elevationS; meet hhis requirement. Setbacks:_ CiW Code requires 35 foot front yard, l0 foot side yard and 35 foot rear yard setbacks'for structures in the B-3 District. The proposed structure meets these requirements.
