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