Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: DEANO'S COLLISION CENTER ADDITION <br /> Dear Ms. McPherson: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the submittal for the proposed building addition to <br /> Deano's Collision Center. The submittal package was prepared by John Weicht & <br /> Associates and Paul Meyer Architects. Based on our review and comments received at <br /> • the staff review meeting, we would offer the following comments: <br /> 1. The additional land added to the lot for the expansion of Deano's Collision Center <br /> is a portion of the K & L plat. This plat has not yet been filed. Obviously, this plat <br /> will need to be recorded prior to any construction activities on Deano's Collision <br /> Center. <br /> 2. This business should be required to hook up to sanitary sewer and water as a <br /> condition of the expansion if they have not done so already. <br /> 3. Drainage calculations will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved relative to <br /> the expansion of the ponding area on the existing lot. The pond will need to be <br /> expanded to take into account the additional drainage from the building expansion. <br /> 4. The Site Plan shows parking stalls approximately 38 feet deep on the east side of <br /> the lot. It is unclear what this additional depth beyond the 18 to 20 feet normally <br /> required is for. If there is this much additional depth, perhaps a better use would <br /> be to make a wider travel lane or move the curb line in and provide additional <br /> green space. <br /> 5. No landscaping plan was provided with the submittal package. <br /> 6. The Site Plan in its entirety only shows one handicap parking stall for Deano's <br /> Collision Center. This is a stall that is on the west side of the existing building. We <br /> • question whether one handicap parking stall is sufficient with the expanded square <br /> footage. <br /> Ltr 8-22-01 McPherson.rev <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
