. Minutes of the Regular~Cil Meeting, June 8, 1987 Page 5 . CASE #87-18 (Cont'd) Council questioned the 40 ft. height of the air-supported structure; asked the Planner if this is the standard height for this type of structure. . Miller stated he has not verified a standard height for air-supported structures; however, since they are commonly used he could research the matter. Fire Chief Winkel commented that Council may consider reviewing the Uniform Fire Code relating to this type of structure before approval is granted; he advised there are requirements such as, distance of air-supported structures from existing buildings and storage. Moved by Hansen, seconded by Sather, that Case H87-18 be continued to the Regular Council Meeting of July 13th, to allow the Fire Chief time to review the Uniform Fire Code, as it relates to air-supported structures, 'and to provide the Planner time to review typical heights of these 'structures. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) CASE #87-19; MINOR SUBD. & SITE PLAN REV. DAYBRIDGE CNTR. Council was referred to Planner's report (5-28-87) and Planning Commission minutes of June 3rd; recommending approval with several contingencies. . Planner Miller reviewed the conditions of the recommended approval and explained the Minor Subdivision. He advised the City required a 20 ft. easement be provided, granted to the City, between the City property and the proposed Daycare site. Miller noted that the easement would have to be maintained and was granted in lieu of partial park dedication; he was unsure if the park dedication had been fully resolved. Planner explained the temporary access drive that will be provided to Hamline Avenue and eventually will serve the entire site; applicant advised the south side of the access drive will have permanent curb at this time and the other side would be blacktop only. He noted that no grading plans have been received yet and upon receipt they should be evaluated relative to drainage, tree removal and grading. Miller also reviewed the single access to the site from Highway 96, centered on the east property line; this driveway will also serve the future development to the east. Both access drives have been reviewed by Glen Van Wormer, Trsffic Engineer, and have been determined acceptable in te~ of sight distances and separation from the Hamline/Highway 96 intersection. Miller reviewed the sign proposal and advised the applicant had assured the Planning Commission members the sign would meet code requirements and, therefore, no variances are being requested at this time. . Miller discussed the landscape plan and suggested some berming at the front of the site and additional plantings at the rear of the site where the property abuts the'Townhouse Villages. The applicant has evaluated the plantings at the rear of the site and has a plan to present this evening that addresses the matter. Council was referred to the discussion at the Planning Commission meeting relative to screening of the mechanical equipment on the roof of the proposed daycare center. Miller displayed a site-line visibility diagram, which indicates that the rooftop mechanical equipment will be visible from the second level of the townhomes, unless screening is provided at the property line or on the building. He stated the applicant has indicated that they are agreeable to working with staff to provide adequate screening of the rooftop equipment. There was discussion regarding the screening of the trash containers. Miller explained the containers would be located near the front of the site and stated that the applicant had not provided a plan for screening but would be willing to do so. Dwight Chestnut and Randy Petersen, Daybridge Daycare Center, displayed photos of the site showing site lines on the property looking south toward the townhomes. They stated they are agreeable to providing additional plantings and to work with staff on this issue. ... There was discussion relative to the operation of the daycare facility. Council questioned if there'would be a crossover provided on Highway 96. Randy Petersen stated there would not be a crossover, which was the reason for the access drive to Hamline Avenue.
