4.8 Access to the site will initially be from County Road C. In 2004, Ramsey County will construct a frontage road as part of the County Road C reconstruction project between the proposed Abra structure and the railroad right-of-way. This frontage road will have a direct access to County Road C via the new Prior Street intersection. This intersection is anticipated to be signalized when Twin Lakes Business Park is complete (attachment A - a photo copy not to scale). 4.9 The Abra structure will be constructed of color impregnated (tan) burnished block, spandrel glass panels, glazed accent (black) blocks, pre-finished metal (silver) panels and flashing, as well as anodized aluminum doors and windows. 4.10 The structure will have a primary height of 20 feet, with the portion encompassing the customer service increased to 25 feet in height. The structure will be 150 feet long (north to south) and generally 120 feet wide (east to west). 4.11 Trash and recyclables will be contained in a fenced and screened enclosure within the secured (fenced) vehicle area at the rear of the structure. The secured vehicle storage area is for only those vehicles awaiting repair, which area has two access points; one on the east and one on the south. 4.12 A full site landscape plan has been submitted for review and comment. The extensive plan indicates the use of linden, honey locust, ash, flowering crab, lilac and spruce trees, dogwood, spirea, and juniper shrubs, daylily perennials, and sod. Irrigation will be required for the full site. 4.13 A full site lighting plan has been submitted for review and comment. The plan includes single and double shoebox/cut-off variety lighting standards on poles that are 32 feet in height. 4.14 Utilities (sanitary sewer and water main) will be provided to both structures from existing main lines that lie in the front yard portion of the subject site. City storm sewer has capacity and will be provided for the site. The proposal also includes two designated infiltration areas to reduce particulate and storm water rate, one west of the Casci development and one in the front yard of the Abra development. The storm water plan for the site has received the approval of the Rice Creek Watershed (see attached). 4.15 Traffic for the Abra development (new vehicles) is estimated at 224 vehicle movements per day. Daily vehicle counts on County Road Care 16,000, with an anticipated volume of 17,300 by 2010 and 18,700 by 2020. The new County Road C will have a capacity between 20,000 to 24,000 vehicle trips/day. CASCI DEVELOPMENT: 4.16 The. 76 acre Casci development will consist of a 7,200 square foot single story structure located at the rear of the subject site. Access to the lot will be through a perpetual private, shared access easement for a driveway and parking area over the Abra parcel. This access drive is the north-south private, shared driveway surface for the two ownerships. PF3448 - ReA Final Development Plan - 111703 Page 3 of 7
