Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 Dear Mr. Rychner: I am in receipt of your application and site plan prepared by John Oliver & Associates for your aluminum recycling facility proposed to be located on Lot 2 of Block 1 of Gateway North Industrial Park. I am also in receipt of a two sheet set of architectural plans prepared by Phillip D. Johnson with the latest revision dated March 18, 1991. I have reviewed the above and offer the following comments: 1) Location: The subject property is an irregularly shaped parcel approximately 2.5 acres is size and is located in the B-W Busines Warehouse District within the Urban Reserve Area. Surrounding land use includes adjacent industrial properties to the west and east and also across proposed 142nd Avenue N.W. to the northeast. Land immediately north of the subject property across proposed 142nd Avenue N.W. is currently vacant. 2) Lot Coverage: Structures are proposed to cover less than four percent of the total lot. This is considerably less that the allowable 35% maximum coverage. 3) Parking; City Code requires industrial buildings to provide one space for each employee on the maximum worldng shift. The applicant has indicated there will be six employees on the maximum shift, and the site plan provides for eight parking stalls. 4) Setbacks: The setbacks listed on the site plan are correct. All buildings appear to comply with the stated setbacks, although some setback dimensions have been omitted on the site plan. .Utilities: This site is located outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. Provisions for on-site water and waste water disposal are illustrated. 6) Loading Facilities: City Code requires loading dock facilities or industrial facilities having a floor area of 10,000 square feet or more. This facility has less than 10,000 square feet of floor area. However, three trailer loading lanes are provided. Care should be taken to allow proper turning radii to provide access to these loading berths. 7) Lighting: Two security lights are proposed, one on each proposed building. Care should be taken to insure that this lighting does not emit excessive bounce-off the property. The light proposed for the office building is approximately 70 feet away fi.om the street right-of- way.
