Five handicap stalls will need to be shown on the plans, at least one of which will need to be van accessible. Only four handicap stalls are shown all of which are van accessible. To be in compliance with the parking requirements, an additional 27 stall s would need to be added, unless the applicant can show that the e�sting building is currently overparked. Easement Vacation: By way of the platting of the North Star Industrial2nd Addition, perimeter drainage and utility easements were dedicated to the City. The proposed building expansion and development will cross over the set of easements between Lots 2 and 3 of that plat. These easements will need to be vacated before any construction activity can begin. The legal description for the easement area to be vacated has been forwarded to the City Attorney, who is drafting an Ordinance to accomplish the vacation. This Ordinance will be presented to the City Council after or in conjunction with the Council approval of this development review.
