resulting from the force of explosion, if it should occur. Because the masonry walls will provide the explosion shield, the earth berm is no longer needed and has been deleted from the plan.

Case #6: Request for Revised Site Plan Approval; Case of Amcon Corporation Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the City has received a revised site plan for approval from Amcon Corporation. The plan, approved in 1997, was for a 49,390 square foot office, manufacturing and warehouse facility on Lot 1, Block 2, Business Park 95 4th Addition. It included a future expansion of approximately 20,000 square feet. The developer has decided to construct the entire structure in one phase, thus the site plan approval needs to be amended for a 69,440 square foot facility. The proposal is for three accesses onto McKinley Street - one for truck traffic and two for customers/employees. The site is approximately 5.3 acres in size and the proposed plan is in conformance with City Code. Staff and the Planning Commission are recommending approval. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the revised site plan for Amcon contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated February 27, 1998, and modifications to the Landscape Plan. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #7: Consider Adopting Resolution Related to Memorandum of Understanding with MnDOT on Burger King Access City Engineer Jankowski stated that August 12, 1997, the City of Ramsey granted approval to the Burger King site plan, contingent upon resolving access issues on Highway #10 with MnDOT. He noted that the sketch shows the access onto Highway #10 being on the far west end of the site. MnDOT has not acquired right-of-access onto the Highway #10 of this property, so it must grant a request for access. Mr. Jankowski explained that the City, MnDOT, and the developer all concede that a safer, workable access would be preferably located farther to the west in the vicinity of the pet clinic's current access. To work toward this goal, MnDOT has requested that the City enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Mr. Jankowski interpreted the memorandum as committing the City only to using its best efforts to facilitate obtaining the necessary mutual agreements between the pet clinic and Burger King to consolidate access. The developer will receive a permit to construct an access as approved in the site plan, and MnDOT City Council/March 10, 1998 Page 14 of 24
