Medtronic Review October 5, 2005 Page 9 Snow Storage The design of the Medtronic project on the site provides for numerous areas in which snow may be collected during winter months. The City Forester cautions that landscaping be planted with some forethought as to snow plow routes and snow storage. Medtronic will be responsible for snow removal from the site if the available parking spaces are insufficient to satisfy the daily needs of the facility. Municipal Coordination OPUS and Medtronic will be presenting their site plans and preliminary plat to the City of Blaine on October 11 and October 20. 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.
