Hakanson Anderson Assoc., Inc. Engineers, Surveyors & Landscape Architects November 16, 1989 Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman Planning & Zoning Commission City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Site Plan for Building Expansion - Waltek, Inc. 14310 Sunfish Lake Boulevard Dear Mr. Zimmerman: We have reviewed the proposed site plan for Waltek, Inc. and offer the following comments: General Considerations Waltek is proposing to add on to an existing building. The existing building is 3,200 SF and would be expanded to 6,200 SF. The building addition is proposed to be of the same material and design as the existing building (sheet metal/pole barn). The existing building and proposed addition would be utilized as warehouse/storage area. Building Issues While not indicated on the drawing, it is assumed that the floor elevation of the addition will be 889.5 which is the same as the existing structure. This meets the 18" elevation requirement above city streets. City Code requires buildings to be 50% other than metal, however, the city has in similar situations allowed expansion of existing buildings to be of like material. Due to the location of the addition, it would make little aesthetic difference whether all metal or an alternative cladding is used. In lieu of this requirement, P&Z may wish to consider whether the east side of the existing structure (side facing road) should be rec!ad in a manner to meet the zoning ordinance. Ail final plans must be certified by a registered architect cr engineer. Z22 Monroe Street Anoka, Minnesota 55303 612/427-5860 Fax 612/427-3401 Eusene ]. Hakanson, RE James M. Winter, kS. Lawrence G.
