Signage: All proposed signage will require a permanent sign permit. The application for this permit can be found online at www.ci.ramsev.mn.us.Asign permit will need to be approved separate from site plan approval. Waste Storage: All trash receptacles are required to be fully enclosed. Your plan indicates the location of receptacle to be located on the north side of the building. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: Parking in the Town Center District is intended to be shared to the greatest extent possible. The standard for parking in Town Center is 3 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of space, resulting in a total of 46 parking spaces required for the site. The proposed plan indicates the construction of 58 stalls. The City -only permits an increase of the required parking of 25%, resulting in a maximum requirement of 57 spaces. It is strongly encouraged to provide only the minimum number of spots to facilitate shared parking practices. Traffic Generation: As part of the Town Center AUAR, a detailed traffic analysis was completed that anticipated the type and size of development shown on the plat. The proposed development is consistent with the traffic modeling system used as part of the AUAR analysis. Regional road improvements to facilitate the whole Ramsey Town Center development have been agreed upon and have already begun construction. This proposed development does not generate more traffic than was anticipated. On-site Traffic Circulation: Please submit an internal traffic ciculation plan for the entire site to ensure the proposed bank access will be compatible with the entire development. Access: The site plan proposes access from Sunwood Drive by means of a temporary driveway and from West Ramsey Parkway. West Ramsey Parkway has not been constructed and is not currently scheduled for completion. West Ramsey Parkway must be constructed as part of this site plan in order to provide a permanent access to the site. The temporary driveway will need to be removed when future phases are developed on Outlot A. Drainage and Grading: The grading plan includes a requirement for installation of a rock construction entrance; they are not effective in Ramsey soils. All references to rock construction entrances must be replaced with the following requirement: "All adjacent streets must be swept daily during active construction and as directed by the City." The contours at the perimeter of the site must be tied into the existing contours and into the proposed driveway along the east line of the lot. The contours at the southeast drive are not depicted correctly and must be revised. Utilities and Stormwater Management: The plan shows connection of a storm sewer- to a stub from West Ramsey Parkway. The proposed storm sewer in West Ramsey Parkway is designed to connect to a regional treatment pond east of the site. The pond will be connected to the regional storm sewer system which will ultimately outlet to the 32
