Moyor RE: Site Plan, Building Exterior Plan, and Landscaping Plan - Bliss Direct Media
Richord C,rlbom '
Background I
Bliss Direct Media, a company that specializes in direct mail campaigns and mail list
management, has purchased an 8.31-acre site in the Buettner Business Park for !the
construction of a facility. The company is currently located in Waite Park. I
,
I
Bliss Direct Media is proposing the construction of a 17,034 square foot (167 X 102) facility on
Lot 1, Block 1, Buettner Business Park. , The facility will be a used for the production and
distribution of direct mail marketing materials. I
!
i
The proposed structure includes approximately 4,450 sf of climate-controlled office space Wjth
the remaining 12,556 sf being used for production/storage. The building has been designed
with the possibility of expansion to the west (rear of the building). I
The materials that have been submitted also depict the potential splitting of the 8.31 acre site.
The site plan has been designed as though the lot split has been applied for and approved. I At
the time of the drafting of this memo a request for a lot split has not been submitted; therefore,
this review is predicated upon the lot as it exists on record today (i.e. 8.31-acre site). '
