We offer the following comments: General: The preliminary plat is propOsing to replat Outlot A of Regency Pond along with 2 residential unplatted lots on the comer of Bunker Lake Blvd and Ramsey Blvd. The plat proposes to create 4 new lots: one for a self-storage facility and three for 3 new commercial buildings. Staff anticipates that the City Council will review the Site Plan for the storage facility at their October 9th, 2007 meeting. Zoning: All 3 existing lots are currently zoned E-I Employment. The City Council has introduced an ordinance to rezone the 2 comer parcels to B-1 Business; staff will bring this ordinance for adoption at the September 25, 2007 meeting.

Lot 1 will remain E-I Employment/Places to Work. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: E-I District standards were used to evaluate Lot 1, while B-1 standards were used to evaluate Lots 2, 3, and 4. Lot 1 is approximately 2.7 acres in size, which exceeds the I-acre minimum lot size requirement in the E-I district.
