The conclusions state that the 96/W. Round Lake Road intersection will operate at <br /> acceptable levels with the implementation of both the Chesapeake and Arden <br /> Towers projects. There would also be less than desirable operations at the 96/I- <br /> 35W ramps and it was suggested that signalization should be reviewed for these <br /> areas. Biko suggested that improvements be made to the 96/I-35W bridge and <br /> improvements be made at the 96/10 intersection. Both of these areas are under <br /> review with Ramsey County and the State although they may not be scheduled for <br /> quite some time. <br /> e) Parking <br /> By the Zoning Ordinance, the parking requirement for an office development is 1 <br /> parking space for every 250 square feet. There is 265,514 square feet of office <br /> space, requiring 1,062 parking spaces which is satisfied by the proposal. <br /> The parking area includes surface parking and two, two level parking ramps. <br /> There must be a 50 foot landscape setback from all public streets and 20 feet from <br /> other property lines to surface parking areas. The parking ramps are not <br /> considered to be principal structures so they are subject to the accessory structure <br /> or parking setback requirements, since the Zoning Ordinance is unclear on this <br /> issue. The parking setbacks are more stringent and, therefore, the ramps are <br /> evaluated accordingly. The setbacks are not met when measured from the <br /> proposed street at 21 feet when 50 is required. <br /> f) Site Access <br /> There is currently a 66'wide utility easement that runs east to west across the <br /> middle of this property. This easement can not be built upon by a structure so a <br /> road is being proposed over it. The City would need to maintain access to this <br /> easement and it should be,therefore, a public street with a right of way of no less <br /> than 60', as required for local streets. The proposed street is a width of 24 feet. <br /> The only public street that could serve this site, Gateway Boulevard, does not <br /> connect to the west property line of this property. <br /> There is currently an unimproved road serving the tower site, for maintenance of <br /> the tower. Staff is unaware if the applicant has an easement agreement with other <br /> property owners to access the site as no easement is shown on the submitted <br /> plans. The improved portion of the road stops on the west side of the pond for <br /> Apache. The land between existing Gateway Boulevard and the applicant's <br /> property was previously owned by Morris Communications and just recently <br /> acquired by Chesapeake Companies. Therefore, this site does not currently have a <br /> connection to a public street, as is required for development. <br /> g) Public Safety <br /> The proposal discusses the construction of a 750 foot antenna tower(although 700 <br /> feet is shown in the plans). Due to the fact that the current antenna has been found <br /> unsafe, the applicant needs to build another tower, although zoning prohibits it. <br /> The Building Official has stated that numerous additional antennas have been <br /> added to the tower without building permits or staff approval, creating this unsafe <br /> condition. <br /> 4 <br />
