Box 510, Rosemount, Mignesota 55068-0510 COUNCILMEMBERS Sheila Klassen James (Red) Staats Harry Willcox Dennis Wippermann ADMINISTRATOR Stephan Jilk Chairperson Dunn Commissioners: Anderson, Edwards, Mawe, McMenomy, Sinnwell, and Wippermann John Miller, Economic Development Coordinator July 2, 1992 Dr. Johnson's Relocation Dr. Kerry Johnson had been considering two sites for new office building. These are the Repairs, Inc. property on Highway 3 and the McMenomy Appraisal site on 145th Street and Burnley Avenue. Steve Jilk asked me to do some concept plans for both sites. Attached you will find two concept plans for the McMenomy site and one for Repairs, Inc.. I found the Repairs, Inc. location to have several limitations. 1. Too small. In previous work completed the lot was thought to be 110 feet wide and 196 feet deep. I determined the lot is only 166 feet deep with 30 feet being used for road right-of-way. I confirmed this with Rick Pearson, Assistant Planner. This gives a lot area of about .42 of an acre.An earlier sketch plan assuming the larger dimension met code requirements for parking only by surrounding the proposed building with a literal sea -of -asphalt. 2. Steep slope. The steep slope at the rear (north) of the lot presents building limitations through the issue of stability. 3. Park Consideration. The area immediately north of the Repairs Inc. site is the planned location of the park shelter and the amphitheater. Work should be completed to limit the slope at the rear of the Repairs, Inc. lot to give better aesthetics to the park. This reworking of the land contours limits the flat and perceived buildable area even more. ver lktn.gs �omtng (UP gosemounill Dr. Johnson Future Clinic July 1, 1992 Page 2 4. Fill material. I have been verbally advised that fill material unsuitable for building purposes has been deposited on both the Repairs, Inc. lot and the adjacent "church property" lot. 5. Church Lot issues. The "church property" lot was thought to be a possible location for additional parking. At the boundary with the Repairs, Inc. lot, the church lot is only 33 feet wide, not enough width to permit any practical combination of parking area. In addition the deed to the property restricts use of the land to "park entrance". Now for some good news. I visited with Dave Bechtold, the Parks and Recreation Director, and confirmed that a land swap that would straighten park and Repairs, Inc./Church property lot boundaries was possible. The park people also hope that landscaping and grading of all the properties could be combined. Bottom line? The site is too small for a free standing clinic/office building of the size Dr. Johnson is considering. Another location should be sought. In reviewing the McMenomy site, I was at first dubious of its value. The land is adjacent to a railroad and is in the shape of a trapezoid. By definition the shape makes a portion of the parcel unbuildable. From the attached concept plan you can see however that even a one-story office building fits nicely on the parcel. Parking requirements are easily met and one plan has a loading zone and a screened dumpster location. A very significant area remains available for sidewalk and green area, a condition that among other things allows for screening of trucks. I walked the site on June 30" and was pleased with its gentle slope and elevation. An office building located on the parcel should be an impressive addition to the downtown due to the elevation of the land. It should offer a good transition from the historic downtown to newer land uses east of the site. Dr. Johnson is on vacation this week (until July 3). I will attempt to visit with him on Monday or Tuesday prior to the Port Authority meeting on July 7, 1992. ij 0 REPAIRS INC.
