City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 i , · (612) 427-1410 September 26, 1991 Mr. John Weicht Weicht and Associates P.O. Box 368 Elk River, MN 55330 Re: Site plan review; Adolfson Peterson cold storage warehouse John: We have received your submittal for site plan review of a 5,250 square foot cold storage warehouse for Adolfson Peterson to be located on Lot 2, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey 2nd Addition. The submittal consists of the following: a) certified lot survey; b) a site plan and architectural drawings consisting of 3 sheets dated 9/17/91 drawn by Robert Baker, John Weicht and Associates. We offer the following comments. 7 n_.42_Q~' The subject propert3, is zoned I-1 Industrial for which warehousing is a permiued use. The property is currently being used as a supply yard, which is also a permitted use in the I-1 Industrial District. There will continue to be exterior storage of equipment and materials on the property following the construction of the warehouse. The parcels south, west and north of the subject parcel are zoned I-1 Industrial; the property to the east across Armstrong Blvd. is zoned B-1 Business. Lot Size: In the I-1 Industrial District, the minimum lot size is one acre and the minimum lot width is 200 feet. The subject property is approximately 10 acres in size and 330 feet wide. o Setbacks: In the I-1 Industrial District, the setbacks are 40 feet in the front, 35 feet in the rear and 20 feet on the sides. The setback from a major thoroughfare is 110 feet from the centerline or 50 feet from the right-of-way, whichever is greater. It should be noted that there is a total of 120 feet of drainage and utility fight-of-way running east and west between Lots 1 and 2 of HY- 10 Ramsey 2nd Addition. This fight-of-way was acquired at the time the property was platted to preserve a corridor for the future extension of Industry Avenue. Industry Avenue is a planned-for major thoroughfare and therefore the warehouse should .meet setbacks as if the northern boundary of the parcel abutting the fight-of-way will someday be the front yard. The building is proposed to be located 50 feet from the future road fight-of-way and more than adequately meets side and rear yard setbacks. Architectural Standards: The proposed structure does not exceed the 35 foot height limit established in City Code. City Code also requires that 50% of the exposed wall be at least 50% other than metal. The drawings submitted propose that all four walls will be 50% STUCCO.,
