City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 (612) 427-1410 October 31, 1990 Mr. W. A. Egan Egan Oil Company 500 Industry Avenue Anoka, MN 55303 Dear Mr. Egan: I have received the proposed site plan for a cold storage warehouse to be located on a parcel at the Northwest comer of the intersection of Armstrong Boulevard and 146th Avenue and offer the following comments: The zoning for this property is I- 1 Industrial as is the adjacent property immediately North and West of the subject property. Properties to the South, across 146th Avenue and the properties to the East across Armstrong Boulevard are zoned B-1 Business district. Subject property has no existing permanent structures. It is presently fenced and is occupied with sheds, tracks and similar equipment. Lot Coverage: The proposed structure will cover approximately 6.4% of the lot which is considerably less than the allowable 35% maximum coverage. o Building Elevation: The building is proposed to be at least 18 inches higher than the grade of the adjacent road. Parking: Code requires 1 parking space per employee in the industrial zone. Since the. proposed use is cold storage, no full-time employees are anticipated to be on this site and therefore no parking would be 'required. However, the developer is proposing four parking stalls. Setbacks: The location of the proposed structure complies with all setback requirements. Loading Docks: Code requires no loading facilities for a facility of this size. However, due to the nature of this facility it can be anticipated that trucks will need to gain access to the site on a regular basis. Three 12 x 14 foot overhead garage type doors will be provided. One door will face South onto 146th Avenue, while two additional loading doors will face East. There is adequate room for large trucks to maneuver to provide loading at these overhead door locations. However, greater ease of maneuverability may be achieved if the overhead door facing South were relocated to face East on the Southeast comer of the building. Likewise, it may also provide easier access to move the 24 foot access drive approximately 40 feet to'the East such that the West side of the access drive would be directly in line with the East side of the building. This would also allow the four parking stalls to be relocated to the area in front of the present drive location which would be closer to the building. Utilities: This property is located outside the urban area boundaries and outside the exi'sting sewer service area. It will be served by a private well and an on site septic system.
