City of Ramsey 15153NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W.,RAMSEY,MINNESOTA55303 · ~612) 427-1410 Jut5, 28, 1992 Ray Hamdoff Skelgas, Inc. 7255 Hwy. #10 N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Review of Site Plan for Sketgas PIN 28-32-25-44-0008 We have received the two-sheet site and architectural plans for Skelgas drawn by Graphic Design Architects dated July 21, 1992. The site plan indicates the acquisition of the adjacent parcel west of the existing Skelgas facility and construction of a building on that newly acquired parcel to provide an indoor area for filling propane cylinders. We offer the following comments: ~ The subject property is zoned B-3 Highway Business for which this type of use has been interpreted by the Zoning Administrator to be permitted. It is Staffs understanding that the Applicant will do a tot combination to combine the two lots that will be occupied by Skelgas facilities. The adjacent parcels are also zoned B-3 Highway Business. Lot Coverage: The square feet of the proposed structure (1,280 square feet) is well within the 35% maximum lot coverage (35% x 51,324 square feet = 17,963 square feet). Setbacks: City Code requires 35 foot front yard, l0 foot side yard and 35 foot rear vard setbacks for structures in the B-3 District. The proposed structure location meets all o? the required setbacks with the exception of the east side yard. That setback is proposed at 5 feet from the existing property line. However, if the owners follow through with the lot combination then that particular side yard setback would not apply. The structure also meets the thoroughfare setback from ~wy. #10 (110 feet from centerline or 50 feet from property line, whichever is ~eater). Off Street Pgrking Spaces: The proposed use of the new structure would not require any additional off-street parking space, but the growth of the facility justifies re-evaluating the adequacy of the existing off-street parking area. City Code requires 1 parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift and 1 space for every 200 square feet of area devoted to retail related activity. Based on these requirements, the facility should provide a minimum of 12 parking spaces (9 employees and 630 square feet of retail area). The site currently has 7 paved (uncurbed) off-street parking spaces. C/ty Staff recommends expanding the paved off-street parking area to 13 spaces -- 9 employee, 3 customer, I handicapped.
