DATE <br />PROJECT. TITLE <br />ESCROW # <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />AUGUST 16, 2018 <br />PROJECT ADDRESS <br />BUNKER LAKE INDUSTRIAL PARK LOT 3 <br />116486 <br />TBD <br />Community Development: Planning Division (Landscape Plan & Environmental <br />Resources) <br />Name: Chris Anderson, City- Planner <br />Phone: 763-433-9817 <br />Email: canderson@citvoframsev.com <br />The proposed project is on what is presently Outlot A, Bunker Lake Industrial Park Addition and <br />includes a plat to create a buildable lot. The property is in the E-3 Employment District and the <br />standards from City Code Section 117-124 are applicable. <br />We offer the following comments regarding the Landscape Plan, prepared by Brodsho Consulting <br />and dated July 16, 2018: <br />Sheet 7: <br />• One tree per fifty (50) lineal feet of site perimeter or one tree per 1,000 square feet of <br />building footprint, whichever is greater, is required. One tree for every ten (10) parking <br />stalls is also required. Based on the square footage of the building footprint and the <br />number of parking stalls, a total of seventy-one (71) trees required. However, as noted <br />later in this review, reforestation is required and the additional proposed trees will help <br />satisfy that requirement. <br />• One shrub per thirty (30) lineal feet of site perimeter or one shrub per 300 square feet of <br />building footprint, whichever is greater, is required. The building footprint is 59,200, <br />which requires 197 shrubs. Additional shrubs must be incorporated into the Landscape <br />Plan to comply with this standard. <br />• Use of seed rather than sod internal to the site is acceptable but does require City Council <br />approval. The proposed seed mix, which consists of several native prairie grasses, is <br />acceptable to City Staff. All boulevard areas shall be finished with sod. <br />Sheet 8: <br />• Add Planting Note specifying that all areas, including boulevards, not otherwise improved <br />with impervious surfaces shall receive four (4) inches of topsoil meeting the Citv's topsoil <br />specification. This includes boulevard areas between property boundaries and streets. <br />Copies of the load tickets shall be provided to the City and a topsoil inspection shall be <br />completed prior to installation of any landscaping. <br />• Update the Tree Planting Detail to specify that the top 1/3 to 1/2 of the wire basket shall <br />also be removed. <br />
