<br /> <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />The Applicants are applying for Site Plan Review for evaluation of the site layout and parking <br />modifications that are being proposed as a result of the operational changes impacted by the <br />County Road E/Old Snelling Avenue Roundabout project. There are no changes to the <br />restaurant operations or the building as part of this application. As a legal nonconforming site, <br />the County has allowed the continuation of use of the two driveway accesses along Old Snelling <br />Avenue and one access off of County Road E. The access off of County Road E is a smaller <br />commercial/residential driveway. With the roadway project, the Applicants are required by <br />Ramsey County to eliminate one of the driveway accesses along Old Snelling Avenue in order to <br />bring the property closer to conformance with current County standards. Thus, the proposed <br />parking lot improvements have triggered the Site Plan Review process for reconfiguration of the <br />site layout. <br /> <br />The Subject Property is approximately 1.5 acres which includes both a restaurant, a residential <br />home, and a detached cottage. The main parking lot is located in the western and central <br />portions of the lot. The site has significant tree canopy coverage with more green areas on the <br />southern and eastern portion of the property. The parking lot reconfiguration will occur <br />essentially within the same footprint that exists today with the exception of the addition of <br />parking spaces between the building and eastern property line. For the Site Plan review, the <br />proposed improvements include elimination of the southern most access on Old Snelling <br />Avenue, upgrading the driveway access off of County Road E to full commercial standards, and <br />the addition of parking stalls and a trash enclosure. <br /> <br />2.
