<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - APRIL 24, 2000 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Case #00-17a, pun Amendment, Welsh, 1987 and 1887 Gateway Boulevard <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch explained that the applicant has two separate requests amending the Planned Unit <br />Development for 1987 and 1887 Gateway Boulevard. The first is to allow the placement of two <br />exterior solvent storage tanks, a catalytic oxidizer, and to expand an existing dock door at 1887 <br />Gateway Blvd. <br /> <br />The second is to modify the existing Planned Unit Development to allow for staff approval for <br />certain requests. This portion of the request was tabled and is still being reviewed by the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting permission to install an oxidizer and solvent storage tanks on site. <br />The oxidizer removes solvent emissions that are ducted from the printing presses. The applicant <br />claims it removes 98 percent ofthe solvent vapors from the process. The solvent storage tanks <br />hold normal propyl and ethyl alcohol. They are both classified flammable liquids. The tanks <br />will meet the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requirements. A building permit is <br />required for the installation and the tanks will need to meet the building/fire code. <br /> <br />The applicant plans to screen these areas with cedar wood fencing painted to match the building. <br />The fencing will not screen the pipes entering the building. Staff would suggest bollards be <br />placed at each corner of the solvent tank fencing and one bollard on the corner of the oxidizer <br />fencing. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing two bays be filled with blow-out panels, one be expanded to 14 feet <br />by 14 feet, and the elimination of a stairway/entry door in front of the oxidizer. It also appears <br />that the door in front of the solvent tanks will not be usable once the tanks are installed. <br /> <br />Staff has some concerns with the use of the dock door next to the oxidizer. It appears this will be <br />a very tight area with the possibility of the fence being damaged. Staff recommends this bay not <br />be used once the oxidizer is in place. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch stated the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #00-17a, <br />Planned Unit Development Amendment, to allow for a Catalytic Oxidizer, two solvent storage <br />tanks, and the enlargement of and existing dock door with 6 conditions. <br /> <br />Donna Becker, a representative of Welsh Companies, stated that her company is flexible with <br />regard to fencing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson expressed his support of the amendment, but added he is concerned that <br />the development has many trash enclosures built back in loading and parking areas, and now <br />tanks and an oxidizer are being added. He stated that if the trend continues, the development will <br />be completely altered from the original site plan approved by the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated that a suggestion was made by the Planning Commission that <br />wing walls be constructed to provide some screening for those buildings from the road. <br /> <br />. <br />
