We offer the following comments: <br />General: The site plan is proposing a 9,920- square -foot addition to the existing GMI <br />manufacturing and office facility located at 6511 Bunker Lake . Blvd. The addition will be <br />used for storage and receiving. <br />Zoning: The site is zoned E -1 Employment District. Offices, warehouses, and manufacturing <br />facilities are permitted uses within this district. <br />Access: The site currently has access from Bunker Lake Blvd. The expansion would not <br />change the access location but would alter its design. Because Bunker Lake Blvd is a County <br />road, Anoka County was notified of the expansion proposal. <br />Lot Coverage: The lot is 103,165 square feet. The existing building is approximately <br />10,000 square feet. With the proposed addition of 9,920 square feet, total building coverage <br />on the site will be 19,920 square feet or 19% (45% is the maximum permitted by City. Code). <br />Utilities: The facility will be served by municipal sewer and water facilities. <br />Setbacks: The E -1 Employment District requires front, side, and rear building setbacks of 35 <br />feet, 20 feet, and 35 feet, respectively. Parking lots and paving must be 20 feet from the street <br />right-of-way. The proposed addition meets setback requirements in the front and 'side yards <br />but not in the rear yard (20 feet is shown). A revised site plan is required that meets the rear <br />yard setback requirement, or a variance must be granted to the rear yard setback requirement. <br />
