PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant has provided a project narrative that is found as Exhibit 1 of this report.
Purpose of this project is to construct a new office warehouse building to house a small
general contracting company. The site will have approximately 12,100 square feet of
indoor heated warehouse space. It will also have approximately 3,900 square feet of
single -story office space to house office staff, provide a conference room, break area
and restrooms. In addition, we will seek a Conditional Use Permit for a portion of
outdoor storage. The storage will be screened and secured.
The warehouse building will be constructed of tip up panels to be tan or natural color
with possibly some masonry accents. The warehouse will also have (1) loading dock
door to accommodate incidental straight truck or semi -truck deliveries. The office
portion will be single story with modular brick veneer, with possibly two colors of brick
and some architectural corbels and recesses. All roof top mechanical units will be
screened as required by city ordinance..
There is no intention of constructing a monument sign or lighted business signage on
the building. The owner's intent is to have compliant address numbers on the building
and business signage will be on the main entry doors. All site lighting will be full cut off
lighting as required by the city ordinance.
Storm water management will be through a filtration type system, as this area does fall
in the DOC DWSMA, as shown in the source water protection web map that is included
in this packet.
We have contacted the Middle St Croix Watershed Management Organization and
discussed water quality goals and submittal process for this project site.
We have also had a Wetland Delineation Report completed by Bopray Environmental.
It was determined that there are not wetlands on this site. We have provided the
document with this submittal package also.
Note: These are preliminary conceptual plans. Once this preliminary submittal is
approved and a developers agreement signed and the land is purchased from the City
of Oak Park Heights, we will proceed with final architectural drawings and site plans for
review and approval.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Preliminary Plans. The plans that have been submitted to date are in a preliminary
format. The Applicant has requested the Conditional Use Permit review of conceptual
plans so that there is an assurance that the project can move forward prior to securing
the property. If the Conditional Use Permit is approved, the final plans will be produced
and reviewed by the Planning Commission, with final approval by the City Council. In
that the City is the property owner, the City Council will have the final decision in
approval of the land sale, developer's agreement, and plans.
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Residential/Business Transitional
on the proposed Land Use Map. The proposed business, with most of the activity
located on the south side of the subject property will not create a significant impact to
the residential properties to the north. The proposed business will be consistent with
this land use designation.
Zoning. The property is zoned B -W Business Warehouse District. A Conditional Use
Permit is required to allow open and outdoor storage including the parking of
commercial vehicles. The Applicant has indicated that the commercial vehicles will be
stored inside the building most of the time, but on occasion a vehicle will be left in an
outdoor screened area.
Section 401.31.E.1 of the Zoning Ordinance lists criteria for review of open and outdoor
storage. A review of those criteria is found as follows in this report.
Setbacks. The B -W District requires a 50 -foot front yard setback, 20 -foot side yard
setback and 20 -foot rear yard setback. The building will have a setback of 50 feet on
the front at Stagecoach Trail, 50 feet to the north property line, 52 feet to the west, and
85 feet to the south. The setback requirement for parking is 10 feet from property lines.
The parking and driveway setbacks will be 20 feet at the front, 20 feet to the north, 20
feet to the west and 10 feet to the south. All the setbacks are compliant.
Building Height. The building height maximum in the B -W District is 35 feet. At its
highest point, the building will be 24 feet to the top of the parapet.
Access. The site will be accessed by two curb cuts to Stagecoach Trail North. The
curb cuts are subject to review and approval of Washington County. The County would
prefer one access to the site, at the north side of the property. Discussions with the
County will continue as the review process continues.
3
Pedestrian Access. The landscape plan shows a proposed trail on the subject
property along Stagecoach Trail. Currently there is no trail established along that
roadway. The trail could be constructed later as part of a County project. The Applicant
small provide area and an easement for the trail within the subject property.
Parking.. Section 401.15.F.9 of the Zoning Ordinance for offices requires three parking
spaces plus one additional space for each 200 square feet of floor area and for the
warehouse space, one space for each 1,500 square feet of floor area. The parking
calculation for this site is as follows:
3,900 square feet x .9 =
12,100 square feet x .9
Total Requirement
3,510 1200 + 3 = 21 spaces
10,890 / 1500 = 7 spaces
28 spaces
The site plan indicates that there are 25 exterior parking stalls planned for the
development, two of which are disability accessible. Additionally, there is more than
adequate space in the warehouse area that will accommodate the additional three
vehicles. The layout as designed will meet the required number of parking stalls and
disability accessible stalls.
The parking spaces and driveway aisles are sized in accordance with the Zoning
Ordinance. The parking area will be surrounded by curb and gutter. All the parking
areas are setback from the property lines at least 10 feet, in compliance with the
requirements. The parking areas are surrounded with landscaping.
Screening. The conceptual landscape plan includes berms, landscaping and fencing
surrounding the property to screen the driveways and loading areas. The fenced area
will be gated at both accesses to the rear of the property. Adequate screening will need
to be provided especially to the single family properties to the north of the site. Details
on this screening will be provided for final approval.
Loading Areas. The loading access to the building will be at the southwest side of the
building and will be in the area that is screened with landscaping and fence.
Trash/Recycling. Details on a trash/recycling storage area have not been included on
the plans, but it will be located within the fenced area of the lot. Additional details will
need to be provided for final review.
Grading/Drainage/Utilities. Grading, drainage, and utility plans have not been
provided yet with sufficient detail. The Applicant has indicated a preliminary review of
the stormwater and utilities has been done and the site can accommodate the building,
driveways and parking areas with adequate utilities and stormwater retention. The final
grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer and the Middle St. Croix Watershed District.
Lighting Plans. The Applicant has indicated that the lighting for the site will be full cut
off and designed to meet City requirements. The final lighting plan will need to show a
4
minimal amount of lighting on the north side of the site so as not to impact the
neighboring single family residences. A final lighting plan will be provided for review.
Landscaping. The project will require removal of existing trees and a tree preservation
plan. The preliminary landscape plan indicates plantings surrounding the parking lot
and drive aisles as well as the front of the property. The final landscape plan is subject
to the review and approval of the City Arborist.
Mechanical Screening. Any exterior mechanical equipment, either on the roof or
ground mounted will need to be screened in accordance with Section 401.15.E.10.e. of
the Zoning Ordinance. The final plans shall show the locations of mechanical
equipment and screening.
Signage. The Applicant has indicated that no monument sign is proposed for the site.
The only signage proposed at this time will be the business name on the main entry
door and required address signage.
Noise. Residential properties exist to the north of the proposed business. The service
doors for the business will face south, away from the residential properties. The service
doors to the building shall be required to remain closed except when vehicles are
moved in and out of the warehouse area. Limitations on hours of operation will be
included as a condition of approval.

Re: Development Application for site 5416 Stagecoach Trail North, Oak Park Heights, MN
Project Narrative
Purpose of this project is to construct a new office warehouse building to house a small general
contracting company. The site will have approximately 12,100 square feet of indoor heated
warehouse space. It will also have approximately 3,900 square feet of single -story office space
to house office staff, provide a conference room, break area and restrooms. In addition, we will
seek a Conditional Use Permit for a portion of outdoor storage. The storage will be screened
and secured.
The warehouse building will be constructed out of tip up panels to be a tan or natural color with
possibly some masonry accents. The warehouse will also have (1) loading dock door to
accommodate incidental straight truck or semi -truck deliveries. The office portion will be single
story with a modular brick veneer, with possibly two colors of brick and some architectural
corbels and recesses. All roof top mechanical units will be screened as required by city
ordinance.
There is no intention of constructing a monument sign or lighted business signage on the
building. The owner's intent to have compliant address numbers on the building and business
signage will be on the main entry doors. All site lighting will be cut off lighting as required by the
city ordinance..
Storm water management will be through a filtration type system, as this area does fall in the
DOC DWSMA, as shown in the source water protection web map that is included in this packet.
We have contacted the Middle St Croix Watershed Management Organization and discussed
water quality goals and submittal process for this project site.
We have also had a Wetland Delineation Report completed by Bopray Environmental. It was
determined that there are no wetlands on this site. We have provided the document with this
submittal package also.
Note: These are preliminary conceptual plans. Once this preliminary submittal is approved and
a developers agreement signed and the land is purchased from the City of Oak Park Heights,
we will proceed with final architectural drawings and site plans for review and approval.

Re: Development Application for site 5416 Stagecoach Trail North, Oak Park Heights, MN
Review Responses:
1) We have looked into site utilities and have determined that we can tie into the city sewer
and water supply, the civil drawings will locate the tie ins and detail the connections. in
regards to storm water management our team has determined that we will be able to
meet the requirements of the city and watershed district as required.
2) Washington County has reviewed the concept drawings and stated they typically only
approve one access to a site. Due to an existing turn lane, they are recommending
access to be located at the north end of the property. No final determination has been
made only recommended.
3) Lighting will be full cut off, wall mounted above the doors and parking lot lighting will be
the same. Lighting will be designed to meet the cities requirements and not be excessive
at the outside storage warehouse access area.
4) A tree inventory has been created and submitted. Once approved a landscape plan will
be created and all trees to be removed will be noted along with tree replacement
calculations. This plan will also note plant types and locations.
5) If retaining walls are needed there will be details and engineering notes for these. There
is no intent on creating any kind of free standing or monument type sign. There is no
intent on having lighted building signage. The proposed signage will be vinyl cut stickers
at the main entrance.
6) All roof mounted mechanical equipment will be screened.
7) Trash receptacles will be kept behind privacy fencing that will meet city requirements.
8) A building materials board will be provided.
