City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W,, RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 November 15, 1990 Mr. Glen Rychner Aluminum Recycling, Inc. 6200 - 177th Lane N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mr. Rychner: I have reviewed the site plan submitted for a proposed aluminum recycling facility which is to be located on the former site of Supreme Rental property on Sunfish Lake Boulevard and offer the following comments: 1) Zoning and Land Use: The property is zoned I-1 Industrial as are the properties North, West and South. The property immediately to the East across Sunfish Lake Boulevard is zoned R-IR. The property to the North is occupied by a furnace cleaning business. The area to the West is generally wetland and the land to the South is occupied by Parabody, Inc. The Hunters Hill Addition is located immediately East of the subject site and an occupied residence is located within 250 feet of the property and within 500 feet of the nearest site structure. 2) Setbacks: All structures meet the required setbacks of the industrial district. The Code specifies a maximum "building" height of 35 feet and all buildings comply with this restriction. It should be noted, however, that a crane will be located on the site, which may exceed 40 feet in height on occasion depending upon its orientation. 3) Lot Coverage: The maximum permitted lot coverage within the Industrial District is 35%. The existing and proposed structures, including the loading and storage areas is 9%. 4) Parking: In industrial areas, one parking space is required per employee on the largest shift. The plan sheet identifies six employees are anticipated and six parking areas are proposed. 5) Loading Facilities: The unique nature of this operation will necessitate that most facilities in designated Area B be accessible to mack traffic. The site plan appears generally adequate to accommodate most truck traffic. However, I question whether storage trailers located in Area B-3 can be maneuvered into and out of the bays without traversing the landscaped area in front of the existing wood frame building (B-5). 6) Site Access: The site access from the site will be onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard at the location of the existing access. 7) Utilities: The site is located just North of the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary and will be served by the existing private well and on-site septic system.
