permitted uses in the Business Warehouse zoning district. The site plan proposes an initial building size of 84,000 square feet with a possible future expansion onto the adjacent lot to the south. The initial building complies with the 35% lot coverage restriction on Lot 1. The building location meets all setback requirements. Ms. Frolik noted that, in accordance with City Code, the exterior walls of the building are proposed to consist of Fabcon low rib panels with red aggregate and two smooth face bands around the front and sides of the building. The front entrance will be tinted, curved glass. Ramsey's maximum building height is 35 feet; the south end of the building is 40 feet in height to accommodate 10-ton overhead cranes. The Board of Adjustment granted a five foot variance to the height restriction on June 8, 1999. The plan shows two accesses onto Sunwood Drive, which is acceptable to the City. All driveways, parking areas and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. A sufficient number of parking spaces are proposed. If waste storage is to be conducted outdoors, then the site plan needs to be modified to include a 100% screened waste storage area.

Energy Park. Part of their proposal is to purchase a portion of an existing lot. In order to facilitate the sale of the property, a new plat has been created which splits the existing lot into three parcels. One lot is to be sold to Knoll Properties for immediate construction, the second parcel is an outlot to be held for two years for expansion of Knoll properties, and the third parcel is a lot to be retained by Connexus Energy for construction of a substation. Ms. Sherman explained that Lot 1 will have access to Sunwood Drive.

Connexus Energy currently has an easement over the outlot for access to the lot they will be retaining.
