<br />Page 7 of 9 <br /> <br />The Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans. He has requested there be two outward swinging gates. <br />The gates could be self-latching. If the gates lock for the outside, the Fire Marshal would require <br />some type of panic hardware to allow the gates to open to allow egress. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer <br />The Public Works Director/City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has the following comments: <br /> It appears the land disturbance area does not trigger the need for a Grading and Erosion <br />Control permit but the Public Works Department will need to see the final erosion control <br />plans to make sure there is perimeter control planned. <br /> No Right-of-Way permit needed with the City. <br /> Right-of-Way permit likely needed with the County. Applicant shall provide verification <br />if a permit is issued or not prior to commencement of project. <br /> The sidewalk connection is approved as long as Ramsey County has no issues with it as <br />well. The property owner must understand that if there is a need in the future for the City <br />or County to remove any portion within the easement, that they will do so and not be <br />obligated to replace it. <br /> <br />Findings of Fact <br /> <br />The Planning Commission must make a finding as to whether or not the proposed application <br />would adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole based on the <br />aforementioned factors.
