I . MinUtes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 12-10-90 Page 4 CASE #90-09 (Cant' d) Malone questioned if the Engineer and Fire Chief have resolved the concerns relative to the steep slope of the westerly driveway entrance along the Control Data property. . Engineer Maurer explained the topography of the site at the driveway l=tion will accommodate vehicle ingress to the site, however, egress is questionable. He advised the south swale has been revised with a more gradual .slope and the pipe underneath the swale, which elllninates his previous concerns regarding vehicle access. Fire Chief Winkel stated the slope of the westerly driveway entrance will =eate a problem for removing emergency vehicles from the site; the vehicles will have to utilize the southerly access drive and the property owner IIU.lSt mintain that area, especially during the winter months. He =mnented that moving the access further west along the northerly border, when the penranent structures are completed, will provide easier access through the parking area. Planner Bergly recalled discussion regarding moving the driveway approximately 20-25 ft. west of its present l=tion at this time, not when the pennanent structures are installed. CoW1Cil1nernber Malone questioned at what point the auxilaI}' parking area will be installed .

He =mnented on the issues raised by Connnissioners at the 12-5-90 meeting, relating to concentration of development and use of building mterials; noted that different approaches are utilized to attractconsl~' , preferences vary substantially, therefore, it is rnot Possible to total agreement on any pro];X)Sa1 suhnitted. Foster explained the concentration of development on the east portion of the site meets all setback and open space requirements. He advised the western portion of the property will not accommodate development, due to poor soil conditions.
