OERTEL ARCHITECTS 1795 ST CLAIR AVENUE,ST PAUL,MINNESOTA 55105 DATE: June 10, 2003 TO: Saint Anthony Village Planning Commission FROM: Oertel Architects RE: Saint Anthony Public Works Building MEMORANDUM General Description of Building Plan and Site Layout The Public Works building consists of three general areas: vehicle storage,vehicle maintenance, and office. The vehicle storage area is on the north side of the building with associated shop spaces directly off the back wall. The vehicle maintenance area is on the southwest side of the building and the office is located on the southeast side directly off of Chandler Drive. The Public Works building occupies the north half of the site. The southern half of the site has been dedicated to parking,the gas island, exterior storage, and a separate salt/sand building. Fencing will be utilized as a buffer for sound and noise and also to control access to the yard. Specific Site Layout The building footprint will sit 30'-0" off the north property line, 40'-0"off the west property line, 200'-0 off the south property line, and 23'-0"off the east property line. The salt/sand building and mixing area will be located in the southwest corner of the site. The gas island will remain in its current location in the southeast comer, directly north of the proposed salt/sand building. A fenced area will be provided at the north side of the building for police impound and bike storage. Public and employee parking for twenty—one vehicles will be located to the south of the office area. Access to the site will be provided at two locations. Vehicles will enter the vehicle storage area off of Chandler Drive at the location of the current north curb cut. The south curb cut will be reconfigured further south and will prove access for public and employee vehicles as well as exiting for vehicles from vehicle storage. The current zoning code requires a front yard setback of the greater of 40'-0"of a distance equal to the average of the setbacks of structures on the two adjoining lots. The current building plan will require a variance as it currently sits 23'-0"off of the eastern property line. The code also requires a 15% 0"rear and side yard setback. The salt/sand building, which will occupy the southeast comer of the site, will also require a variance. Building Plan R\2003 Proiects103-14 St.Anthonv PWOocsTlannina Commission Memo.doc
