The ordinance requires seven trees on the site. The applicant has pro-
vided 3 trees, however the applicant has stated he will comply with the
requirements of the ordinance. The applicant is proposing grass in the
front and rear setback areas. Along the alley the applicant is proposing
crushed rock since grass may not grow well with the sand and salt in the
winter. If the Commission desires grass in this area, the applicant will
put grass here.
The exterior of the building will be painted concrete block.
The Building Inspector has reviewed the proposed building. His memo con-
cerning the building is enclosed.
The City Engineer has received the plans, however no report has been re-
ceived as of the time of this report. Any approval should be contingent
upon approval of the City Engineer.
The Pines Trailer Court is located to the south, a home to the north, the
Auto Doctor to the west and an empty lot to the east. The home to the
east is setback quite a distance from the alley.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed building meets the requirements of the ordinance except for
the number of trees. The applicant has stated more trees will be planted.
This building will provide a current business in Hopkins a new location to
continue their business.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit.

Memorandum
City of Hopkins
I have done a cursory review of the preliminary plans you
submitted to for Crown Autos new structure. I have the following
code comments:
a. the structure is large enough to require the plans and
specifications that will be provided for a building permit
to be signed by a registered architect and engineer.
b. all exterior walls less than 20' to a property line must be
a one hour rated fire wall and all walls less than 10' would
require rated one hour exterior doors or windows. (for purposes
of this requirement the centerline of the alley is considered
their property line).
c. there is a one hour fire rated occupancy seperation required
between the service area and retail portions of the structure.
All door or window openings must be one hour rated assemblies.
d. the bathrooms must meet the handicap code and handicap accessi-
bility to the building is required.
These comments are not intended to be a complete Building Code Plan
Review but mainly general comments based on very preliminary plans and several
assumptions on my part about the use of the structure.
We will require after reviewing the signed architectural plans and
an application for permit a complete plan review.
I appreciated the opportunity to comment on these plans.
