Review Final Plat and Site Plan for Bunker Lake Industrial Park Third Addition, Case of PSD LLC (Project #21-109)

The purpose of this case is to review a request from PSD, LLC (the "Applicant") for Site Plan and Final Plat approval for a new building in Bunker Lake Industrial Park. In total, Bunker Lake Industrial Park (BLIP) is approximately 45 acres and this will be the fourth building in the development. The Subject Property is south of Bunker Lake Blvd and west of Jackal St NW, and the property is approximately 26 acres, of which 8.1 acres will be platted. The proposed building is approximately 72,000 square feet and will be used by an industrial user.

No notification is required for final plat or site plan approval. This case does not request any deviations from the City's Code that would require notice.

Summary
The Applicant is requesting approval of Final Plat for Bunker Lake Industrial Park 3rd Addition and Site Plan approval for BLIP 4 (the 4th building in the development). BLIP has been a very successful industrial district in the City of Ramsey, which is generally south of Bunker Lake Boulevard and west of Ferret Street and Armstrong Boulevard. The industrial park is home to Adrenaline Sports, Team Packaging, Jump'n Gymnastics, Northwoods Machine, Diamond Graphics, and 401 Manufacturing, to name a few. The existing buildings are east of Jackal Street NW and south of 147th Lane NW. The new proposed building will be east of Jackal Street and north of 147th Lane NW. The City is excited to see the desire and need for industrial growth in Ramsey.

Zoning:
The site is zoned E-3 Industrial District. The Site Plan generally meets the requirements of the district, with one change required to the site plan based on Planning requirements - the parking setback needs to be updated to the correct setback from the ROW boundary (20 feet). This is a minor change and should not cause significant changes on the Site Plan. Additionally, the ROW should be drawn to the correct dimensions as required by City Code. These types of comments are standard and have been communicated to the Applicant.

Code Sections:

• Section 117-124: E-3 Employment District

Note: This case does include both a request for right-of-way (ROW) and drainage and utility (D/U) easement vacation. Those requests are handled by City Council only.

Alternatives:

• Alternative 1: Recommend approval of Resolution #21-089. This would move the project to City Council to formally approve the Site Plan and Final Plat. As the project meets all City Code standards and there are no requested deviations at this time, Staff is supportive of this alternative.
• Alternative 2: Recommend denial of Resolution #21-089. As the project meets all City Code standards and there are no requested deviations at this time, Staff is not supportive of this alternative.

The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this request.

Staff recommends approval of the project and Resolution #21-089.

Motion to recommend the City Council adopt Resolution #21-089 Approving Bunker Lake Industrial Park 3rd Addition and Building 4.
