Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
Blaine Ulysses LLC is proposing to replat five existing parcels into one lot, and construct a two story office building on the new lot. The names of the tenant or tenants are not yet known. The property is zoned B-2 (Community Commercial) and the office use is a permitted use.
Preliminary Plat
The proposed preliminary plat includes one lot and one outlot. Lot 1 includes several existing parcels adjacent to Highway 65 and east of Ulysses Street, and this is where the office building will be located. This lot is 5.35 acres in size.
The outlot being proposed is located between Buchanan Road and Ulysses Street. This outlot is located as such due to the fact that the construction and right-of-way acquisition for Ulysses Street split this lot from the other property on the east side of Ulysses Street. This outlot is being used for ponding purposes, but had the potential for the creation of single-family parcels along Buchanan Street. The developer is proposing to enlarge the city pond for the benefit of this development, thus removing the opportunity for homes to be constructed along Buchanan Street. The developer will be required to pay for upgrades to 168 feet of Buchanan Street, the frontage of this outlot, in the amount of $15,800 based on a feasibility report the city had prepared in 2006.
Park dedication will be required for this plat in the amount of $8,704 per acre. Since the entire plat is 6.26 acres, the total park dedication fee required is $54,487. This amount is due prior to the release of mylars for recording at Anoka County.
Office Use
The building being proposed on this lot is a two story, 56,416 square foot office building. This use is a permitted use and no action is required from the Planning Commission or City Council on the actual site development. Staff is sharing the details of the development for informational purposes only.
The building itself will be comprised brick, metal panels, glass, stone and EIFS and will be a very attractive addition to the area. The building and landscaping on site will be required to meet the Highway 65 Overlay District requirements.
The parking provided on site is sufficient for the use but will it be monitored as the tenants are known for the building.
All details of this site development will be handled through the site plan and building permit approval process.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
