Plan Review for Daybridge Daycare Center, contingent upon the conditions as outlined by the Planning Commission in their minutes of June 3, 1987, and, upon resolution of Park Dedication. . There was discussion relative to the landscape plan and berm. The Planner stated the berm would be moderate and he would prefer to defer approval of the landscape plan until the site has been graded. Miller also addressed Council questions relative to extending the roofline parapet for screening purposes; he noted that was his recommendation, however, even if that is provided there would be the need for additional screening from the second level of the townhomes. Council concurred that the applicant should be required to provide adequate ,screening since this parcel will set a precedent for the remaining vacant portion of land. Council also commented that they would like to see a fair percentage of the screening provided by evergreens. Council discussed the striping of Hamline Avenue to locate the access drive and a mandatory right turn lane for the access drive off Highway 96. Miller advised he would review both matters with Glen Van Wormer. He stated it was the Engineer's opinion that the right turn lane from Highway 96 would be a mandatory requirement from MN/DOT.

Parks Director Buckley stated he would research the matter and report back to Council. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) EDGEWATER ESTATES LGTING/LANDSCAPE PLAN REPORT Planner reported to Council that he had reviewed the. landscaping and lighting plans and they conform to City requirements for these items. He noted that the landscape plan did not address the entrance to the apartment complex; applicant was unsure as to why this area was not included in the plan submitted. Miller advised that if an adequate job is done at the entrance, similar to the plan submitted this evening he would recommend approval. Planner reviewed the lighting proposed for the driveway, parking lot area and front of the building; it is a low-level bollard light. He stated security lighting is provided at the sides and rear of the building by small building-mounted floodlights. Council questioned if the underground garage facility would be lighted. . Miller stated he was not aware of the light source in the underground garage facility, however, it is usually provided on a permanent basis for security and safety purposes. The consensus of the Council was to accept the Planner's recommendation for approval of the lighting and landscape plans, contingent upon applicant providing Planner with design for entrance landscaping. Council was referred to Fire Chief's memorandum (6-5-87); which states that although the underground garage area will not be sprinkled, the owner has provided the alternatives for compliance with the Uniform Fire Code. Winkel stated the owner is providing portable extinguishers and openings of 20 sq. ft. every 50 linear ft. which are entirely above ground. He noted that the windows in the .garage area are 32 sq. ft. in size and are placed every 30 ft.; which exceeds the U.F.C. requirements.
