515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director <br />DATE: August 25, 1999 <br />RE: Blacktern Office Park <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As requested, I have reviewed the most recent submittal for the Blacktem Office Park dated <br />August 16, 1999. Further, I have reviewed the City Engineer's comments on this project dated <br />August 23, 1999. I concur with his comments. <br />One item that the August 16, 1999 plan submittal does not address is visibility of this office park <br />from Rice Street. The drawings show the first floor elevation ranging from 908.0 at the south <br />end to 908.6 at the north end of the office park. Rice Street ranges from 906.0 at the south end to <br />918.0 at the north end. The parking lot ranges from 906.0 tb 908.0 through this same area. This <br />is basically the same elevation and appearance that was proposed back in June 1999. Essentially, <br />the south end of the project will be very visible (i.e. street elevation at 906.0 with a first floor at <br />908.0). ' However, the north end will not be as visible (i.e. street elevation at 918.0 with a first <br />floor at 908.6). <br />If visibility is still a Council concern, the developer needs to address this issue. <br />GS:kp <br />Page 10 <br />
