The site plan is proposing to construct an office/warehouse <br />facility. The area is generally located to the north of State Highway #10 and abuts the common <br />borderline of the City of Elk River and Ramsey. Minndak is proposing to develop on Lot 1 <br />Block 1, of the proposed West Ramsey Industrial Park. Minndak is a residential home and <br />plumbing contractor, which according to the City's zoning regulations, would be an Industrial <br />use. The subject property is currently zoned B-1 Business. J.R. Land and Cattle Company is the <br />owner and developer of the proposed West Ramsey Industrial Park. J.R. Land and Cattle <br />Company is proposing to rezone property located in the proposed West Ramsey Industrial Park <br />to Industrial in order to facilitate Minndak's development. J.R. Land and Cattle Company is also <br />requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment in conjunction with the rezoning request since the <br />parcel is designated as "Places to Shop" in the 2001 Comprehensive Plan and will need to be <br />changed to "Places to Work" in order to allow for Industrial uses. The site plan is proposing to <br />construct a 15,000 square foot office/warehouse structure. The principal structure meets the front <br />yard, rear yard, and side yard setbacks established in the Industrial district. The Industrial district <br />restricts lot coverage to 35%, the site plan is proposing to construct a total of 15,000 square feet <br />of building space on 4.6 acres, which equates to approximately a 7.5% lot coverage. The site <br />will derive one access point from the extension of 156t~' Avenue. City Code requires all <br />driveways and off-street parking areas to be paved and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. <br />The site plan indicates that the employee/customer parking area and the loading berth area will <br />be surfaced with bituminous pavement. According to the site plan, the customer/employee <br />parking area will be finished with concrete curbing and the loading berth area will be absent of <br /> <br />City Council/February 26, 2002 <br /> Page 11 of 35 <br /> <br /> <br />
