Wetland Considerations and Wetland Alteration Permit: This lot was platted as part of the Northstar Industrial Park 2nd Addition. At the time of platting, • a comprehensive drainage plan was prepared which identified the ponding requirements for Lots 1, 2 and 3. The major wetland along the western boundary of these lots was also delineated at that time. The applicant is proposing a drainage system which coordinates with the earlier plan. There will be a storm drain at the rear of the building to capture the building a parking lot runoff, directing it to the existing stormwater retention/detention pond behind the existing building. The runoff in the front of the building will drain into a catch basin which is then directed to the City of Blaine's storm sewer under Coral Sea Street. Because work is being done within 100 feet of the wetland, the applicant will need to have a wetland buffer permit approved by the City. From the site plans, the new parking area will be eight feet from the delineated edge of the wetland, but will not encroach into the wetland. The existing building and parking lot come within 18 feet of the wetland, but no closer. The applicant will have prepared a revision to the site plan prior to the meeting of thee Planning Commission which shows where the 100-foot wetland buffer is, indicating the amount of impervious surface within the buffer. Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed the applicant's drainage plans and has approved them pending payment of a cash surety and dedication of an easement area over the existing wetlands on site. Parking: The parking ratios as required in the City Code for office and warehouse uses are as follows: Office: 3 spaces plus 1 per 175 square feet of floor area • Warehouse: 8 spaces plus 1 per 500 square feet of floor area
