CASE #89-22; SITE Planner Bergly reviewed his report dated 12-6-89, PLAN REVIEW, CPI, relative to the proposed site plan review for a • 4100 HAMLINE AVE. storage building addition at Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. , 4100 Hamline Avenue North. Bergly stated the applicant is proposing to construct a 41 x 47 ft. (1,927 sq. ft.) storage building to be attached to the south side of their south building. He explained this additional storage area was not included in the Master Plan for the site which was reviewed by Commission earlier in the year. He reviewed the considerations listed in his report: 1. The addition will be setback over 200 ft. from Hamline Avenue and County Road F and will not be visible from either street. 2. No additional parking will be required as this is a storage facility. 3. The structure will have access to the main building and access from the outside. 4. The structure adjoins the main south building, a small chemical storage building and is located on a small service court. 5. The east facade of the building is 17 ft. high, the west facade serves as a retaining wall with the exposed wall being four feet high at the point it adjoins the main building and eight feet high at the south end of the building. 6. The exterior of the structure will be stucco over concrete block to match the finish of their remodeled building on Fernwood Avenue. 7. Rice Creek Watershed District review is required due to existing wetlands on the CPI property. 8. Site grading is minimal and no drives or other surface improvements will be • made in conjunction with the building. 9. A building permit was issued to allow excavation and construction of the footings before ground freezing occurs. A permit was issued by the Building Inspector with the clear understanding that such action by the contractor would not influence the City's action on the proposal.
