AGENDA ITEM V B STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Wyland DATE March 7, 1996 TOPIC Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES), 6290 Ware Road, Site Plan Review This case involves a request to construct a building resembling a single family home on Outlots A and B of the Pine Ridge 3rd Addition that will house a MECS Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. The construction of this Sanitary Sewer Lift Station is critical in order to handle increasing sanitary sewer needs for the City of Lino Lakes. Construction of this project was originally anticipated for the Fall of 1995 and is now expected to be;complete in the late fall of 1996. The MCES has already held public hearings and neighborhood meetings concerning the construction of the force main that will service this lift station and actual construction of the main is anticipated in the near future. The force main will run south on Ware Road and then west on Co. Rd. J. (Ash Street) to approximately Lexington Avenue where it will connect with an existing interceptor. This item is being presented to the Planning & Zoning Board for review as any construction, other than single family, in an'R1-X Zoning District requires a site plan review. SITE EVALUATION: The proposed construction will consist of a building approximately 1100 square feet in area very similar to a single family home. It will include the appearance of a double garage, driveway, extensive landscaping, and brick facade on the structure. The structure will be located on Outlot A of the Pine Ridge 3rd Addition, however, a portion of the underground utilities will extend onto Outlot B. The MCES has purchased both outlots for this construction and intends to keep Outlot B as a vacant parcel to help buffer the building from adjoining properties. Staff would recommend approval of this site plan review with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits be obtain prior to construction. 2. The landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City Forester. Outlot A and B shall be maintained as a single family residence at all times with a well trimmed and maintain yard area.
