Case/14: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of Holiday Recreational Ind., Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik advised that Liz Peterson of Holiday R.V. has applied for site plan review to construct and operate a full service recreational vehicle center on the south side of Highway #10, west of Armstrong Boulevard NW. The facility is currently leasing space from the Anoka Independent Grain & Feed offices near the Ramsey/Anoka border, also on the south side of Highway #10. Site plans are not required to be subjected to public hearings. Ms. Frolik noted the access point to Riverdale Drive, outdoor paved display area, and stated it is in compliance with regard to site coverage, setbacks, architectural standards, paved areas, display area and customer parking, and number of parking spaces. She noted the location of the concrete curb and gutter with the exception of the east property line. However, the applicant has indicated an intention to expand the facility onto the adjacent lot within five years and prefers not to make an investment in concrete curbing that will have to be demolished within five years to facilitate the expansion. Ms. Frolik noted the location of the garbage dumpsters and landscaping which was reviewed by the Parks/Utilities Supervisor who recommends additional plantings which the application agrees with. Ms. Frolik stated the Planning Commission recommends site plan approval with a temporary bituminous curb along the east property line and contingent upon compliance with the City Staff review letter which will include relocating the waste enclosure, adding trees to the north property line, and providing an acceptable lighting plan. City Staff recommends that the bituminous curb along the east property line be replaced with a concrete curb if the expansion to the east does not occur within a five year time frame. Councilmember Haas Steffen asked what is between Armstrong Boulevard and this site. Ms. Frolik stated that Shorewood RV is in that location. Hal Pierce, architect for the applicant, presented a colored rendering of the building exterior. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to grant site plan approval to Holiday R.V. contingent upon compliance with the City Staff review letter dated May 28, 1998, and replacement of the bituminous curb in five years if expansion of the facility does not occur. Motion Carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beahen, Beyer, and Haas Steffen. Voting No: None. Mayor Gamec complimented the applicant on this attractive project and welcomed them to the City of Ramsey. City Council/June 9, 1998 Page 12 of 27
