MAY -09 -2001 17:07 HOWARD R. GREEN Howard R. Green Company May 9, 2001 File: 807580J Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road East Little Canada, MN 55117 RE: BIAGINI OFFICE PUD AMENDMENT CITY OF LITTLE CANADA 651 644 9446 P.02/02 Dear Planning Commission Members: As requested we have reviewed the plan for the proposed building at 2935 Country Drive. This building will be the second of two buildings constructed on the County Side Terrace Office Park site. The grading, drainage, and utility plan for this tot was previously reviewed and approved with the rest of the Office Park site, and no additional grading or utility information is shown on the plan. The Ramsey Washington Watershed also reviewed the entire site and all storm water rate and sediment control regulations were met when the original entire site was graded. The first floor elevation of the proposed building is shown at 912.00. The original grading plan indicated a first floor elevation of a building on this lot should be 910.00. The building pad elevation will need to be lowered or additional fill brought to the site. Any additional grading necessary will need to be reviewed. There are two 30 -foot driveways shown that access the site from County Drive. This is above the maximum 24 -foot width allowed by the City zoning code without prior approval. If it is anticipated that large trucks will need to access the site the 30 -foot wide driveways may be necessary. The parking lot configuration has changed from the layout shown on the original grading plan. The paved area has been reduced with an increase in green area both in front of the building and in the northwest comer of the site. Minor modifications to storm sewer inlet locations may need to be made to the storm sewer that was originally installed, but the existing piping system will be of adequate size to serve the site. The plan shows a total of 67 parking stalls with two handicapped spaces In the lot south of the proposed building. For a 67 -space parking supply, state regulations require 3 handicapped spaces, at least one of which must be van accessible, Therefore, an additional handicapped space is required. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. Sincerely, Howard R.
