<br /> . January 17, 2006 <br /> City Planner <br /> ARDEN HILLS <br /> 1245 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 <br /> RE: CELESTICA <br /> Comm: 06-01 <br /> DESCRIPTION OF REOUEST SUPPORTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT <br /> This application is for the installation of two ground mounted, exterior mechanical air <br /> handling units to be located at the loading docks of the existing Celestica building. The <br /> first unit is to be install this winter, 2006. The second unit is to be install at a later, <br /> undetermined date depending on operational needs. These units will be enclosed by a 15 <br /> foot high chain link fence with privacy slats. The privacy slats are to be the approximate <br /> color (tan) of the existing building and are expected to provide about 67% opacity. <br /> . Celestica, formerly Manufactures' Services, is located at 4300 W. Round Lake Road. <br /> (See drawing Tl). The location of the area to be occupied by the air handlers and privacy <br /> fence is highlighted in yellow on the Site Plan (See drawing C2.0). This location is well <br /> screened from public view by a sizeable berm and considerable landscaping (See drawing <br /> Cl). <br /> Unit Plan. <br /> Attached is a detailed plan showing the equipment location relative to the building, the <br /> size of the mechanical air handling unit and the location of the screening fence. The <br /> humidifiers are indoor, suspended from the ceiling joist. <br /> Computer Generated Image. <br /> Attached are two photos of the intended equipment location, as taken from Round Lake <br /> Road. The first photo shows existing conditions. Please note the existing nitrogen tank. <br /> It has a privacy fence similar to that proposed for the air handling units. As you can see, <br /> it offers considerable opacity. <br /> The second photo has been computer imaged to show the proposed installation of the air <br /> handling unites). As the air handlers will be painted either tan or gray and do not extend <br /> . above the height of the fence, they are very difficult to see. While the fencing is visible, <br /> it's complimentary color easily blends with the building making is relatively un-noticed. <br /> January 17, 2006 <br />
