PLANNING REPORT <br />no <br />hwest E-ssociEted consultants, inc. <br />TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: 27 March 1985 <br />RE: Peterson Maintenance Expansion <br />FILE NO: 758.09 - 85.10 <br />BACKGROUND <br />Peterson Maintenance Corporation (PMC) has applied for permits to construct <br />a second structure on their site in Ryan Industrial Park. The specific site <br />is Lot 3, Block 1 along Ryan Drive. The lot is wide (550 faet) and snaillow <br />(131 feet at its deepest). As the entire park is under a PUD, setbacks for <br />new buildings are negotiable, provided that the developer can demonstrate <br />that the setback changes allow more desirable conditions of traffic flow, <br />loading, parking, or other performance standards. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The proposed building is open on one side for access and loading. Setback <br />from the Burlington Northern Railroad is not dimensioned on the plan. It <br />appears to be approximately 5 feet. As mentioned previously, such setback <br />encroachments are acceptable, provided other performance standards are met <br />which create a more functional site. <br />The proposal appears to have merit in terms of making the best use of the lot. <br />However, no parking, loading, or drive aisle space is delineated. The intent <br />of the PUD is to insure that encroachments into the right -of -way, inadequate <br />loading and parking, and other problems can be rectified. Site plans must <br />show all the required information for this to occur. <br />Required site improvements are listed in several areas of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />Some of the requirements are listed below: <br />e Accessory buildings may not be located in an easement (903.020.D.3.). <br />No easements are shown on the plan. <br />Page 26 <br />4820 minneEonka bivd. , c_ut_c, ste. 47 <br />1 ; <br />J J V <br />_.925 -942( <br />
