Planning & Zoning Board March 12, 1997 Page 7 • Mr. Brixius responded that the Metropolitan Council is not flexible on this ratio. However, through the Comprehensive Plan update process, several pockets of land will be identified as necessary to bring into MUSA. • • Mr. Dunn asked if the small parcel not included in MUSA would affect overall development. Mr. Wessel stated that it would have an ultimate effect but not in this first phase of development.

The motion carried unanimously, 5 -0. C. Fogerty II - Apollo Business Park, Site Plan Review Mr. Brixius stated that Fogerty Investments has submitted a site plan for a site located in Apollo Industrial Park. The applicant is proposing to develop 5.5 acres, including a pond. The City will retain Outlot A. Ordinance allows multiple buildings on a single industrial lot, but in order to create a buildable parcel, a survey must be submitted. The proposal is consistent with the Town Center Plan. Adjacent zoning is also industrial. No park dedication is required. Anoka County has limited accesses off Apollo Drive, and the proposed access for this site is at a joint access location. It is recommended that the applicant be required to enter into an access agreement with the adjoining property owner for upkeep of the shared access and driveway areas. Turning radiuses meet standards for semi - trucks. The lot meets or exceeds all general industrial performance standards. It is recommended that handicapped parking be relocated to the center of the building and be properly signed. There is ample room for snow storage in the parking lot. It is also recommended that additional landscaping be provided with different plants hardy to the environment and that a revised landscape plan be reviewed by the City Forester. No outdoor trash receptacle is shown, but should there be one, it would have to be screened from view.
