<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for October 9, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-012 - Presbyterian Homes - SP, VA\Memos Reports <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />A. Site Plan <br /> <br />An engineered concrete pad 9' X 19' X 12" will be poured in the location indicated on the plan. <br />Four concrete bollards will be installed on the north side of the pad to protect the EPSS. The <br />concrete pad will be located 60 feet from the nearest property line to the north and <br />approximately194 feet from the nearest residential structure. The western edge of the property that <br />is on Lake Johanna lies within an area FEMA designates has a high degree of flooding. The <br />concrete pad is located further to the east in a zone designated with minimal risk of flooding. <br /> <br /> Distance to nearest residential units <br /> <br />B. Screening and Fencing – Section 1325.05, Subd. 4 <br /> <br />According to City Code, mechanical equipment requires screening to be “constructed and located <br />so as to completely screen from view of adjacent streets and differing land uses.” The proposed <br />EPSS will be located near the north of the site, adjacent to Sandeen Road. The site plan indicates <br />that mechanical equipment will be screened with a chain link fence with beige fence weave privacy <br />slats. It will be installed on all 4 sides of the concrete pad to a height of 11 ½ feet above grade. <br />The EPSS is 11.5 feet tall from grade. Zoning code section 1325.05 Subd. 4, D, 7, states that in <br />exceptional and unusual circumstances in residential districts a deviation from the maximum <br />permitted residential fence height of six (6) feet may be permitted via site plan review and Planning <br />Commission and City Council Approval. This situation is unique as the proposed EPSS is 11.5 <br />feet tall and requires a tall fence for appropriate screening. The Applicant is proposing to construct <br />a 10 to 12-foot-tall fence. As a condition of approval, the proposed fence shall be black vinyl- <br />coated chain link. The intent of requiring the fence color to be black is to match the existing <br />fencing onsite. In addition, the site is screened by landscaping. <br /> <br />C. Noise <br /> <br />Screens and fencing help minimize adverse impacts of public nuisances, such as noise from <br />monthly emergency tests on the EPSS. State licensing requires the facility to test the EPSS <br />monthly to ensure that the equipment is working properly. The Applicant indicated to staff that <br />emergency testing of the EPSS would be confined to daytime hours. To help attenuate noise an air
