CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION TECHNICAL.REVIEW FILE DATE 8/26/16 PROJECT ADDRESS 6850 SUNWOOD DRIVE NW PROJECT.TITLE 16-06 ANDERSON DAHLEN SITE PLAN ESCROW# 115213 DEPARTMENT: Community Development: Planning Division (Zoning Code) Name: Chris Anderson TECHNICAL REVIEWER: Phone: 763-433-9817 Email: canderson a-)ci roframsev.com General: The purpose of this file is to review a Site Plan for a proposed building expansion. The proposed addition is 98,092 square feet in size, which is 106% of the size of the existing building and thus, it exceeds the threshold for administrative review (cannot exceed a cumulative expansion of 100% of the square footage of the existing building to qualify for administrative review). The property is zoned E-2 Employment District and the existing and proposed use (additional office, manufacturing, and storage space) is permitted in this district. The proposed addition meets all minimum setback standards of the E-2 Employment District and is below the maximum allowable building coverage for the property. Please note that the civil plans are still being reviewed and an addendum to this review letter will be provided once that review is complete. The following revisions and/or clarifications are required on the plans prepared by HTG Architects and dated August 23, 2016: Sheet TS • Building Addition square footage must be updated to reflect the total building addition. Sheet L1.1 • Please clarify what the dashed lines are east of the stormwater pond. It appears to possibly indicate an expansion of the pond but that is not reflected on the civil plans. • Curb lines adjacent to the pond do not line up. This drafting must be corrected. • Drainage and Utility Easement around pond does not match the easement on the approved plat for Knoll Properties nor does it incorporate all of the stormwater pond. • It appears that the parking stalls on the south end of the site are 'proof of parking', if so, please add that label. • Due to the overhead utility line, the proposed trees along the eastern lot line should be relocated elsewhere on the site, preferably along the boulevard of 143rd Ave NW (swapping out those that are coniferous with deciduous species). • Plant list must be revised to include tree size. Note that evergreens must be at least six(6)feet in height measured to the first whorl and deciduous trees shall be at least 2.5 inches in diameter. • Add the City's Planting Detail to the plan set. Sheet A1.1 • Please clarify what the dashed lines are east of the stormwater pond. It appears to possibly indicate an expansion of the pond but that is not reflected on the civil plans. • Curb lines adjacent to the pond do not line up. This drafting must be corrected. • Drainage and Utility Easement around pond does not match the easement on the approved plat for Knoll Properties nor does it incorporate all of the stormwater pond. • It appears that the parking stalls on the south end of the site are 'proof of parking', if so, please add that label.
