H°Ward R, Green Gompany August 22, 2001 File: 815300J-0240 Ms. Michele McPherson Director of Planning City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 RE: DEANO'S COLLISION CENTER ADDITION Dear Ms. McPherson: As requested, we have reviewed the submittal for the proposed building addition to Deano's Collision Center. The submittal package was prepared by John Weicht & Associates and Paul Meyer Architects. Based on our review and comments received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following comments: The additional land added to the lot for the expansion of Deano's Collision Center is a portion of the K & L plat. This plat has not yet been filed. Obviously, this plat will need to be recorded prior to any construction activities on Deano's Collision Center. This business should be required to hook up to sanitary sewer and water as a condition of the expansion if they have not done so already. Drainage calculations will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved relative to the expansion of the ponding area on the existing lot. The pond will need to be expanded to take into account the additional drainage from the building expansion. The Site Plan shows parking stalls approximately 38 feet deep on the east side of the lot. It is unclear what this additional depth beyond the 18 to 20 feet normally required is for. If there is this much additional depth, perhaps a better use would be to make a wider travel lane or move the curb line in and provide additional green space. 5. No landscaping plan was provided with the submittal package. The Site Plan in its entirety only shows one handicap parking stall for Deano's Collision Center. This is a stall that is on the west side of the existing building. We question whether one handicap parking stall is sufficient with the expanded square footage.
