May 14, 2001 Lino Lakes City Offices 1189 Main Street Circle Pines, MN 55014 -2123 Attn: City Planning RE: Lino Lakes Family Dentistry Narrative PROGRESSIVE Architecture 275 East Fourth Street Suite 530 Saint Paul, MN 55101 (612) 292 -1061 Fax 292 -1819 Attached is our application for a new Dental office. The proposed location is on the north side of Apollo Drive and West of Lake Drive. Lino Lakes Family Dentistry has had a reputable practice in the city of Lino Lakes for many years. It is owned and operated by Dr Mike Hyden and Dr. Craig Sulzdorf. If approved, they are planning to move their practice to this new location. The site is presently zoned GB "General Business ", and a Dental office is considered to be conforming use. We are proposing a 5,067 square foot building. 4,039 square feet will be used for office space and the additional 1,028 square feet is planned as storage and or future office space. Parking requirements have been met for the proposed office space and provisions have been made on the site to accommodate for the additional parking requirements if and when the storage area is converted to office space. The site location is divided into approximately two equal halves. The West side of the parcel will accommodate the Dental office and the East side will remain for future development. Because of a restriction limiting the number of driveways on to Apollo Drive, our lot will share a common driveway with the lot to the West. This will be located in the drive easement previously approved by the city council. Our main and customer driveway will quickly turn to parallel Apollo Drive. Parking will be on the East side of our building. Future parking spaces will have a "green strip" between the existing and proposed. This will break up the mass of asphalt and give more of a rhythm to building mass and vacant or parking space. We will also have a service drive directly down the parking easement. This is a temporary drive and will service storage area and the trash receptacle. This service drive is temporary and will only service minor traffic. Due to its low use, we would like to use an asphalt curb in this area. The rest of our site will have a B 6/12 concrete curb.
