A replacement subgrade infiltration basin is being proposed <br />for the area beneath the new parking area. This basin would outlet into a newly constructed <br />retention pond proposed towards the northern end of the property. The stormwater management <br />plan for this area has been reviewed and conditional approval granted by the Rice Creek <br />Watershed District. <br /> <br />The applicant has indicated that the new parking area would have access from both the subject <br />property and the adjacent property to the west located at 1230 Grey Fox Road. Both of these <br />parcels are owned by the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company. The City would require <br />that a cross access easement agreement be filed with Ramsey County in order to permit access to <br />the new parking area from 1230 Grey Fox Road. <br /> <br />The applicant has submitted a narrative of the proposed project and a response to the variance <br />evaluation criteria (Attachment A), a site plan depicting the proposed construction (Attachment <br />B), and a landscaping and planting island plan (Attachment C). <br /> <br /> <br />1.
