development agreement with the City, submittal of a landscape/screening plan and modifying the site plan to provide B-612 concrete curbing around the perimeter of bituminous from the front of the building to the front property line. Also, the financial guarantee will not be released until the curbing and pavement is installed and that the landscaping and screening has been worked out. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #5: Request for Site Plan Approval for Copper Sales; Case of Corporate Real Estate Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Copper Sales is proposing constructing a facility in Business Park 95 2nd Addition on the south side of McKinley Street. The proposed project is a 30,400 square foot office/warehouse facility and meets City Code requirements for lot coverage, setbacks, architectural standards, landscaping, screening, waste storage and number of off-street parking spaces. All driveways, parking lots, maneuvering areas and outside storage yards are required to be paved and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. At the applicant's request, the Planning Commission recommended waiving the curbing requirements for the storage yard on the east side of the building and the driveways along the south side of the building. The storage yard on the east is proposed as a future expansion area and the improvements would have to be destroyed. The driveways along the south side of the property are adjacent to a railroad track and a power line easement. The Planning Commission and City staff recommend site plan approval. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to approve Corporate Real Estate's site plan for the Copper Sales facility contingent upon supplying the City with a modified site plan clearly identifying pavement and curbing in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning Commission, providing a lighting plan and the approval of the Business Park 95 Architectural Review Board. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beahen, Beyer and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #6: Request for Final Plat Approval of Ferrum Addition; Case of City of Ramsey Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the City of Ramsey is in the process of platting recently acquired property lying west of Sunfish Lake Boulevard and north of the Burlington Northern Railroad. The area to be platted is approximately 8.5 acres in size and is proposed to be subdivided into one industrial lot for development and one outlot for possible future development. The lot to be platted meets the one-acre area and 200 feet of frontage on a public road requirement. The lot will receive access from McKinley Street and was proposed to have an exit only onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard. Anoka County is denying access onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard so our right-of-way along Sunfish Lake would have to be dedicated to the County. City Administrator Schroeder suggested it makes it difficult to develop but that does not impact the platting. We are still trying to get access onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard - it is proposed as an out only. We need to ensure that the County was clear on the intent of the drive. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #96-04-073 granting final plat approval to Fermm Addition contingent upon a favorable response from Anoka County regarding the exit onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard as it is felt the request to the County should be made again.
