<br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />April 12, 2000 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />City Council <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Joe Lynch, City Admiuistrator <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mounds View O.S, Water Line extension <br /> <br />Backl!;round: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MoundsView High School presented their site plan for improvements to the buildings <br />and grounds to the Planning Commission at their meeting on April 5, 2000. These <br />improvements include: classroom expansions, traffic and parking area reconfigurations, <br />athletic field installations and changes to the heating, ventilating and air conditioning <br />systems. All of this will come before you at your regular meeting on April 24, 2000. <br />Before going to the Planning Commission they asked to sit down with the staff to talk <br />about the possibility of running a water line across their property and looping with a <br />water line in Gramsie Road. <br /> <br />Situation: <br /> <br />A water line, running from east to west, along Valentine Lake Road, terminates just to the <br />west of the school. Because of the changes being made the Fire Inspector has opined that <br />the school should upgrade it's water supply to the buildings and systems. His <br />recommendation was a connection with the water line in front of the school. The <br />Engineers representing the school indicated that this would not be sufficient for their <br />needs and in case of a large scale emergency could cause serious damage to this water <br />line. Another option for meeting the high demand for water supply is a fire pump, but the <br />Fire Inspector indicated that he would not find this fire suppression system satisfactory <br />because it was a mechanical one and subject to failure. <br /> <br />e <br />
