s • CASE NUMBER: 1500-84 Page 2 APPLICANT: Commers-Klodt people who had purchased the site from M & M were, of course, aware of the temporary nature of their vehicular access and sewer connection. When informed of these facts, the Commers-Klodt people, along with their realtor, Roger Rohrer, did go through a great deal of effort to purchase the three properties involved, including the Marabella parcel which was the key to being able to construct the cul-de-sac without condemning anyone's property. 5. The applicant's have filed a petition with the City requesting a feasibility study for the construction of the cul-de-sac and the utilities within it to provide the appropriate services to their site, Vertimag, and the Reim site to the east. Thus, the applicants have performed a considerable service to the City in putting the properties together and proposing the public improvement project for the cul-de-sac. The applicants also have provided a larger area for the ponding that will be required on the northern portion of the land involved. The Engineering Department informs us that subject to final calculations, which have not been submitted as yet by the applicant, that this pond may have to be slightly larger than proposed. In any case, the need for this pond has imposed a hardship to a degree on the development of this land inasmuch as €} shifts the building further south and reduces the amount of land that can be developed. A part of this problom relates to the previous develop- ment of the ,site to the north (the Vertimag building). b. In view of these" constraints, the Applicant proposes to build what is cowa&,nly known in the area are a "high-tech" building, with approximately 35 parco,nt office and 65 percent ancillary storage space. Such structures are sometimes kncmn in the as "Office -Service Building'"+ and are different from the typical office -warehouse inasmuch as the ceiling heights ar,- considerably lower. There is considerable demand for such structures In tlee metropolitan Art- today. 7. The building can be sited in a manner an as to conform to all. City requirements including the appropriate: parking ratios. Due to the long" narrow shape of the property, they are anking that the setback on the cast side contiguous to tfie now street eight-of-wAy be 15 feet, the same as is required in the buoiness district. Normally, this distance in an industrial district: would be 20 fdot, except in this case where it is in tile: "front" of a building, the setback should normally be 40 fact. S. on the south aide of the building, they are proposing, a 15 font setback from the existing right -of -waxy which is 43 feet fr*m the center line of County Read C (a3ast-west section line). flare again, it is a matter of attemmmpting, to compensate for the loss of land on the north end of the building for the: drainage site. On this question, the first point is that there should be 5.5 additional feet of dedication inasmuch as the Ramsey County highway system plan calla f.`at 49.5 ='ct of dedication from the center line of County Road C. Existing dedication is 43 feet. 9. in the applicant's letters and statement of proposal (copies attached) they note that the setback from County Road C for the structures located north of County Road C in Saint Anthony (properties immediately to the
