<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 31. 1998 DRAFT 9 <br /> . Council member Malone asked if there is a provision for an emergency overflow. Mr. Vesterholt <br /> stated there will be, as required by the Code, <br /> Council member Larson asked if the sidewalk extends toward the north of the canopy. Ms. <br /> Sterner stated the sidewalk from the parking lot will connect to the entryway sidewalk and it <br /> could be minimized by incorporating grass. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski requested a general overview of the plan and building interior. Ms. <br /> Sterner explained the modifications made since the last time the plan was presented to add more <br /> grass area around the building and patio area, Mr. Vesterholt advised that very few existing trees <br /> would be lost. <br /> Ms. Sterner presented the interior building plan, noting the Council Chambers and lobby face the <br /> lake view. She pointed out the location of the fireplace and adjacent reception area to the City <br /> offices. Ms, Sterner then presented the upper level area containing four additional closed City <br /> staff offices, community room, and storage, <br /> Mayor Probst asked if an additional staircase is included. Mr. Fritsinger explained there does not <br /> appear to be a feasible way to place an additional staircase since it takes up too much interior <br /> space if located in the middle, or would have to be placed toward the outside as a Fire Code stair <br /> case. <br /> . Councilmember Larson asked if the stairwell must be enclosed for Fire protection. Mr. <br /> Vesterholt stated since three floors are being connected, it must be an enclosed wall. <br /> Council member Larson asked if a glass wall could be used for separation to create more of an <br /> open area, Mr. Vesterholt suggested he study whether the Fire Code would allow that option. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger asked the Council to consider the issue related to NSP overhead lines. Currently <br /> there is an underground line on TCAAP which is in need of replacement. After meeting 'with <br /> NSP, the company has elected to look at an overhead line along the north side of Highway 96, <br /> the west side of Lexington Avenue, and then along County Road 1. He asked if the Council <br /> believes there will be a significant impact with an overhead line or if staff should discuss the <br /> option of underground, possibly at the City's cost. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated she thought that NSP had to do as the customer requests. Mr. <br /> Fritsinger stated they will, at the City's cost, which is estimated at $40,000 to $60,000. It was <br /> noted that NSP believes underground utilities cost more in maintenance. <br /> Mayor Probst stated he understands staff has expended a lot of time and effort to work with NSP, <br /> but he does not believe NSP will in-kind this additional cost. He stated he believes an overhead <br /> line is inappropriate and the City should continue to investigate undergrounding these lines. <br /> Councilmember Malone stated this is high voltage transmission lines which they do not like to <br /> . place underground. Mr. Ringwald stated this is correct and involves distribution lines. <br /> Councilmember Malone noted this type of line would be at a higher elevation. Mr. Ringwald <br /> stated one alternate that exists would be to duplicate the south side of Highway 96, but NSP <br /> indicated they don't like to do that and would prefer keeping the lines separated. <br />
