Per the site <br />plan, Building 1 has eight (8) 25’ x 60’(1,500sf) industrial units along the north side of <br />the building. On the east side, there are three (3) 25’ x 40’ (1,000sf) industrial units. <br />Building 2 is a 120’ x 160’ (19,200sf) indoor self-storage area. There is one (1) <br />mechanical room. The total building is 36,000sf. The site plan shows 18 parking stalls. <br />The existing stormwater pond is proposed to be expanded. Total site impervious coverage <br />is 56% which is less than the maximum 75% allowed. Access to Phase 2 is proposed <br />through the Phase I mini self-storage private driveways. No additional access onto CSAH <br />23(Lake Drive) is allowed. An 8ft privacy fence and landscaping is shown along the east <br />lot line. <br /> <br />Staff Comments: <br /> <br />1. The site and building plan shall meet the performance standards of the City <br />zoning ordinance. <br />2. The front lot line is along Park Court; therefore, the rear lot line is along the south <br />lot line and the side lot line is along the west lot line. The site plan shall be <br />revised. <br />3. Per the June 23, 2023 Lino Lakes Public Safety Memo, Deputy Director Dan <br />L’Allier has concerns about movability of fire apparatus to the access the <br />buildings. A turning radius study is required using Lino Lakes apparatus <br />templates. <br />4. How do emergency vehicles access the industrial building? <br />5. How does the general public and employees access the industrial building through <br />the locked gate of the mini self-storage? <br />6. Parking spaces were calculated as warehousing at 1 space for each 2,000sf of <br />gross floor area. 36,000sf gross floor area/2,000sf = 18 spaces. <br />a. City ordinance requires 2 spaces for each employee for Contractor’s <br />Offices and 1 space for each 500 sf of gross floor area for Light <br />Manufacturing. <br />b. Per the applicant’s narrative, a variety of industrial uses are proposed on <br />site other than just warehousing. <br />c. Parking space requirements shall be re-evaluated. <br />7. Wetlands exist along the west lot line and appear to be impacted by the proposed <br />expanded stormwater pond. <br />8. More information is needed on the intended use and build out of Building 2.
