Planning Commission Report <br /> Bridges Technology Park Phase II <br /> Planning Case 514-98 <br /> • <br /> March 27, 1998 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Using these ratios and the breakdown of floor area presented above, the expanded building area <br /> would require a total of 119 spaces, of which 61 would be for the office floor area and 58 for the <br /> warehouse space. Five handicap stalls will need to be shown on the plans, at least one of which <br /> will need to be van accessible. Only four handicap stalls are shown all of which are van <br /> accessible. To be in compliance with the parking requirements, an additional 27 stall s would <br /> need to be added, unless the applicant can show that the existing building is currently overpacked. <br /> Easement Vacation: By way of the platting of the North Star Industrial 2nd Addition, perimeter <br /> drainage and utility easements were dedicated to the City. The proposed building expansion and <br /> development will cross over the set of easements between Lots 2 and 3 of that plat. These <br /> easements will need to be vacated before any construction activity can begin. The legal <br /> description for the easement area to be vacated has been forwarded to the City Attorney, who is <br /> drafting an Ordinance to accomplish the vacation. This Ordinance will be presented to the City <br /> Council after or in conjunction with the Council approval of this development review. <br /> Other Issues: <br /> • • Landscaping: The City Forester, Rick Wriskey, has reviewed the landscape plans and <br /> finds them to be acceptable. <br /> • Public Safety: The Fire Marshal for the City of Mounds View,Mark Bishop, has <br /> reviewed the plans as submitted by the applicant and finds the access and drive aisles to be <br /> in conformance with Fire Department requirements and standards. <br /> • Utilities: The building expansion will take all its utilities from the existing building. Water <br /> and sewer are accessed through the City of Blaine, as is sanitary sewer. <br /> drainage and utility easement over that area within the delineated wetland plus a minimum <br /> five-foot buffer beyond the wetland. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> The Planning Commission shall direct the applicant to revise the site plans as it deems necessary <br /> and shall direct staff to prepare a resolution recommending approval of the development review to <br /> be acted on at the April 15, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br />
