<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 10. 1997 13 <br />. had no reason to assume "other materials" would mean precast concrete. He stated he is willing <br /> to accept the compromise proposal but wishes this had occurred under a different chain of events. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked about the process of submitting plans for building inspector review, <br /> He reviewed the memorandum indicating that on May 21, 1997 tbey submitted drawings that had <br /> identitication saying precast tipup panels. Mr. Ringwald stated when plans are indicated as "not <br /> for construction" then they are not for construction. He explained that Staff does not have time <br /> to review plans that are not for construction. Mr. Ringwald eXplained that from the time "not for <br /> construction" plans are submitted to the time "for construction" plans are submitted, details may <br /> change so StatT does not waste time reviewing the "not for construction" plans. However, Staff <br /> can determine a permit value based on those plans. Once the construction set of plans are <br /> received, the Building Official reviews them in relationship to the Uniform Building Code and <br /> that is his primary responsibility, Until that review is complete the Building Ofticial does not <br /> look beyond that scope. Then he assures Rice Creek Watershed and Council approvals are in <br /> place, <br /> Council member Hicks noted that the City received the "not for construction" plans on June 6th <br /> and then found specitic reference to concrete panels on June 14th, He asked if this is a normal <br /> timetrame for this review given the current work load, Mr. Ringwald answered aftirmatively, <br /> Councilmember Hicks stated his impression that the materials were to be brick except for the <br />. cross and potential breakout for expansion walls. He stated his interpretation of the current <br /> building is brick but, perhaps, there should have been more discussion. Councilmember Hicks <br /> stated he is not concerned that the entire structure be all brick if there are other materials that the <br /> neighbors believe are aesthetically pleasing. He stated he knows neighbors have been concerned <br /> about lighting and NHLC has been responsive to those concerns, Councilmember Hicks asked if <br /> residents have been apprised of this proposal or that part of the exterior may be concrete. <br /> Mr. Ringwald eXplained that when this went before the Planning Commission in October, <br /> notitication was sent out <br /> Councilmember Hicks commented on maintenance issues and asked what percentage of the <br /> exterior portions proposed for precast are now brick and what the dollar difference is between <br /> this proposal and all brick. <br /> Mike Schraad, Welsh Construction, explained that the activity center is about 80% brick and <br /> 20% precast. <br /> Councilmember Hicks stated the permanent exterior surface on the sanctuary is brick. Mr. <br /> Logelin stated this is correct, except for the expansion areas. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked what percentage of precast is now being proposed to be covered <br />. with brick Mr. Schraad stated it is approximately one-third. <br /> Councilmember Hicks asked how much it would cost for all brick Mr, Logelin estimated an all <br /> brick building would be about $75,000, and $40,000 for the new proposal presented tonight~ <br />
