OTION PPROVED Commission Business: LP2007-004 Site Plan Review Concerning the New Brighton Post Office Carrier thst Annex to be Located at the NW Corner of 5 Ave NW & 1 St NW Ryan Companies, who is working on behalf of the City, has requested Site Plan approval in order to develop the thst vacate site at the northwest corner of 5 Avenue NW and 1 Street NW. The proposed project includes a 57,806 s.f. office/warehouse/showroom, a 20,089 s.f. garage to accommodate the post office, and 11,079 s.f. of warehouse space also for use by the post office. The project includes off-street surface parking, eight loading th docks, a shared access with the Dalco site to the north, an access off of 5 Avenue NW, and a third access off of st 1 Street NW. Procedurally, a public hearing is not required. The City has been working on relocating the New Brighton Post Office as part of the redevelopment occurring within the Northwest Quadrant. While the current post office operates out of one building/site, the proposed relocation would separate the retail portion from the carrier annex. It is planned that the retail portion will be developed at Main Street Village with those approvals coming before the Commission in the next couple of months. This proposal accommodates not only the post office carrier annex but additional office/warehouse/showroom space to be shared within a single building. O’Keefe stated that the site plan does not show a sidewalk connecting to the site. Fernelius replied that this is not the retail site for the post office, but the carrier annex, so the general public will not be going to this site. Genevieve McJilton, Ryan Companies, stated that they are willing to place a sidewalk to the more traditional office/showroom/ warehouse space, but one is not required for the annex. Zisla inquired if it would be possible to have the building closer to the street. McJilton replied that the site is extremely tight, so the accommodate parking the building has been pushed back.
