Central Sandblasting Staff Report <br />April 18, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Setbacks <br />Setback requirements for this property are as follows: front: 40 feet, side: 20 feet, rear: 40 <br />feet, front parking area: 40 feet, side and rear parking area/driveway: 5 feet. The site plan <br />shows that all required setbacks would be met. There is currently a 30 foot easement along <br />the west property line. They are proposing to install a driveway over this easement which <br />has been approved by the public works department, on the condition that the applicant is <br />aware that the City is not responsible for repairs or replacement if for some reason this <br />easement would need to be accessed by the City. <br /> <br />Grading and Drainage <br />Central Sandblasting has submitted an application to Rice Creek Watershed District for this <br />expansion, along with grading and drainage plans. The City’s Public Works department has <br />also reviewed these plans. At this time, the applicant’s engineer is waiting for comments <br />from Rice Creek Watershed District, and will incorporate any of their changes with the one <br />request from Mounds View Public Works. <br /> <br />In 2001, the City built a regional storm water pond on the property directly west of Central <br />Sandblasting. At that time, Central Sandblasting opted to “buy in” to this pond, which has the <br />capacity to meet the Rice Creek Watershed Districts surface water management <br />requirements should they ever decide to expand or redevelop their property. Central <br />Sandblasting still needs to get the water off of their property and into this pond, which is what <br />the current grading and drainage plans are addressing. <br /> <br />Summary: <br /> <br />Central Sandblasting is requesting development review approval to construct an additional <br />11,000 square foot building on their property at 2299 County Road H. Such an expansion <br />would bring additional tax base to the community, and the availability of more space would <br />allow Central Sandblasting to increase the capabilities of their business. They also plan to <br />move all of their office space into the new building. <br /> <br />Deadline for Action: <br />This application was accepted on March 21, 2007 and in accordance with MN Statute 15.99, <br />a decision shall be made within 60 days of application acceptance. The deadline for action <br />for this request is May 20, 2007. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Review and consider attached Resolution 865-07, which recommends approval of the plans <br />submitted by Mr. Herbst proposing a new 11,000 square foot building on the west side of the <br />property. <br /> ________________________________ <br />Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate
