Regular Planning Commission 6. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 08/02/2018 <br />By: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community <br />Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Review Site Plan Review for Sterling Trophy, 6710 Highway 10; Project 18-125 <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to review the Site Plan application made by Sterling Trophy for a new commercial <br />building located at 6710 Highway 10. The city -owned property is approximately 1. 23 acres and currently vacant. <br />The City is working with the applicant to sell the property. The development would be a 4,048 square foot <br />commercial building to allow for trophy sales, engraving and assembly. <br />Sterling Trophy currently operates in Anoka and is looking to move to the City of Ramsey. <br />Notification: <br />No notification is required for a site plan. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Zoning and Land Use <br />The property is zoned B-2 Business District and guided for future commercial use. The applicant is proposing a <br />retail location with engraving and light assembly of trophies onsite. Retail is an allowed use in this district. <br />Setbacks <br />The proposal meets the setback requirements. <br />Storage <br />There is no proposed outdoor storage onsite. All storage will be inside. <br />Parking and Traffic <br />The applicant is proposing 12 parking stalls, which meets the requirements from the City for this use. The City <br />requires a minimum parking stall width of 9 feet; three stalls currently do not meet the width requirement, including <br />the handicapped accessible stall. <br />Materials and Architecture <br />The proposed building is a one-story building with a mix of brick, rockface block, prefinished metal, and <br />aluminium frames. Brick and rockface block are allowed materials in this district, but metal is not an outright <br />permitted material. The Planning Commission and City Council may allow these materials in this district. The City <br />Council has directed staff to aim for high quality, excellent design along Highway 10. Staff believes that the metal <br />accents should meet the requirements of the City Council for great design. <br />Environmental Policy Board <br />The EPB recommended approval of the landscape plan contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter <br />and requested the applicant consider or explore options for the southern portion of the property, including the <br />possibility of establishment of a native landscape. <br />Funding Source: <br />
