The Applicant <br />shall be responsible for obtaining any permits necessary from other agencies, including <br />but not limited to, MPCA, Rice Creek Watershed District, and Ramsey County prior to <br />the start of any site activities. <br />6. Heavy duty silt fence and adequate erosion control around the entire construction site <br />shall be required and maintained by the Developer during construction to ensure that <br />sediment and storm water does not leave the project site. <br />7. The Applicant shall be responsible for protecting the proposed on-site storm sewer <br />infrastructure and components and any existing storm sewer from exposure to any and all <br />stormwater runoff, sediments and debris during all construction activities. <br />8. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a landscape financial security equal to 125% of <br />the cost of the landscaping to be installed on the site shall be submitted. The Applicant <br />must submit a detailed cost estimate for the landscaping so staff can determine the final <br />amount.

All light poles, including base, shall be a maximum of 25 feet in height and shall be <br />shoebox style, downward directed, with high-pressure sodium lamps or LED and flush <br />lenses. Other than wash or architectural lighting, attached security lighting shall be <br />shoebox style, downward directed with flush lenses. In addition, any lighting under <br />canopies (building entries) shall be recessed and use a flush lens. The applicant must <br />provide photometric calculations for the lighting at the west property line. <br />11. Once construction is complete and the equipment is operational, the Applicant must <br />conduct a noise study to ensure the facility does not exceed maximum noise standards.

Recommend Approval with Conditions <br />2. Recommend Approval as Submitted <br />3. Recommend Denial <br />4. Table <br /> <br />Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lambeth reported the proposed building height was five feet higher than was <br />allowed within City Code. He understood the excess height was due to the mechanical equipment <br />penthouse which enclosed the equipment that would typically be mounted on the roof. <br /> <br />Jeff Hale, Facility Engineer for Boston Scientific, reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lambeth explained the purpose of this facility was to manufacture lithium <br />batteries for use in medical devices.
