Please contact Mick Kaehler, Building Official at (763) 433-9849 for additional information. Architectural Standards: The exterior building materials of the existing store consist of vinyl siding and coronado field stone. These materials were' approved by the City Council at the time of the original site plan approval. The proposed additions will consist of the same material as the original building. Staff does not feet that the Town Center Development Guidelines sh(Suld apply' to this request since the expansion should match the existing building. However, Staff would reci0mmend some architectural treatment be added to the south wall to break up the long run of vinyl siding. You have submitted revised elevations showing Coronado field stone pillars interspersed along the southern wall, which Staff finds acceptable. Waste Storage: The site plan indicates that the waste storage area will be relocated from its existing location in order to facilitate the expansion. The waste storage area must be enclosed and screened by a privacy fence. Please provide information to Staff regarding'the waste storage enclosure and materials to be used to screen the dumpster.
