5. Planning Cases
A. DE2014-001 Development Review for a new commercial building on County
Road 10, west of Woodale Drive
Applicant: Build to Suit, Inc., representing BioLife Plasma Services
Address: 1805 State Street, Bettendorf, IA
Planning Associate Heller indicated BioLife Plasma Services has been located in Mounds View
for several years and is currently leasing space at 2222 Woodale Drive, in the Mounds View
Business Park. They now want their own building and have a purchase agreement to buy the
vacant land on the east side of the Mounds View Motors car dealership on County Road 10.
Multi-Tech, 2205 Woodale Drive, is the owner of the vacant land. Build to Suit, Inc. is the
developer for this site and is requesting a development review for a new 16,692 square foot
building to be built on the south side of the site, fronting County Road 10.
Associate Heller explained that BioLife will be creating two lots from the land they are
purchasing and will sell the north lot in the future. A major subdivision application will be
submitted in the coming weeks. A new building will allow the company to continue its success
in Mounds View and the north metro. She estimated that construction would take seven to nine
months. She anticipated that BioLife would move their existing sign to the new location. Staff
reviewed the plans in further detail and recommended approval of Resolution 1011-14, which
approves the plans submitted by Build to Suit, Inc. for a new 16,692 square foot building for a
BioLife Plasma Services facility. She noted the representative from Build to Suit, Inc. wasn’t in
attendance because he had plane trouble and was stuck in Rochester.
Chair Stevenson expressed concern with the landscaping plan and how it would be reviewed.
Associate Heller indicated the City no longer had a forester to review the tree and landscape
situation. She commented staff would review the landscaping issue and a financial guarantee
would be required. She reviewed City Code requirements for tree replacement and anticipated
that the applicant would meet the City requirements.
Commissioner Schiltgen asked if the City’s approval had any bearing on the watershed permit.
Associate Heller reported building permits would not be given out until the applicant received
approval from Ramsey County and the watershed district.
MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Schiltgen/Commissioner Rundle. To approve Resolution
1011-14, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Development Review for a New 16,692
Square Foot Commercial Building on County Road 10, West of Woodale Drive; Planning Case
No. DE2014-001.
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
