Medtronic Review September 21, 2005 Page 9 Municipal Coordination OPUS and Medtronic will be presenting their site plans and preliminary plat to the City of Blaine in October. Blaine will need to approve any redesign of Coral Sea Street and 82 Lane NE as they are Blaine streets. Blaine has been supportive of the Medtronic development plans and improvements to County Road J and the bridge over 35W. Preliminary Plat Issues The Medtronic CRM preliminary plat was prepared by E. G. RUD & Sons, Inc. The plat proposes five distinct lots in one block. The lot layout is summarized in the table below. Copies of the Medtronic CRM preliminary plat have been provided to the City’s public works department, the City Attorney and Ramsey County. Ramsey County will forward copies of the plat to MnDOT since the property abuts state right of way, even though no access or change is planned to Highway 10 or 35W. Lot Proposed Usage Lot Area (acres / sq. ft.) Lot 1 Phase 1 820,000 sq. ft. 27.77 acres 1,209,626 sq. ft. Lot 2 Phase 2 380,000 sq. ft. 3.17 acres 138,269 sq. ft Lot 3 Phase 3 300,000 sq. ft 2.32 acres 101,117 sq. ft Lot 4 Blaine lots, parking areas 15.83 acres 689,453 sq. ft. Outlot A Wetlands, ponds, mitigations areas 36.17 acres 1,575,752 sq. ft. Total area:85.26 acres 3,714,217 sq. ft While only five lots are shown on the preliminary plat, it is likely the case that a sixth lot will be added which would encompass the first phase parking ramp north of the phase 1 buildings. It may also be the case that after the preliminary plat has been approved, the lot lines and area for lots 2 and 3 may be adjusted on the final plat. Such changes, so long as they do not alter the essential character and nature of the preliminary plat, may be approved. Easements Perimeter drainage and utility easements will be taken with this plat, although the exact dimensions and locations are yet to be determined. It is likely that easements will be taken over all ponds, wetlands and storm water conveyance systems. There are existing easements associated with the Northstar Industrial Park and Northstar Industrial Park 2nd Addition plats that will need to be vacated. There is an easement toward the east end of the Medtronic CRM preliminary plat protecting a Met Council Environmental Services sanitary sewer interceptor, buried thirty feet underground. This will remain unchanged.
