on development review. The site is located within the E-1 Employment District which is intended to accommodate general industrial activities. Based on the information submitted thus far, it appears that the proposed expansion shall comply with the bulk standards (setbacks, minimum parking, building height, etc.) and design standards. The proposed expansion appears to qualify for the City's new Administrative Site Plan Review process recently adopted by the City Council. Dedicated Networks has submitted an application for Building Permit. Based on initial review, it appears that the proposed expansion can meet the minimum standards of the zoning code. Staff is also confident that the proposed expansion will be able to meet the required provisions of the Minnesota State Building Code; however Staffs final review has not yet been completed. As it relates to civil engineering design (grading, stormwater, utilities), revised plans and detailed stormwater analysis and calculations have been requested. The concept plan identifies multiple infiltration areas, but Staff does not have sufficient data at this time to make a final determination. There will likely need to be some changes to the grading plan to comply with applicable stormwater provisions. Based on the area of disturbance, the request will also need to be reviewed by the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization. This information has been relayed to the Applicant.
