1\RDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION -MAY 5, 2004 7 . Commissioner Zimmerman replied they needed to have the emergency exits, but if they had to have sprinklers to, then that was fine, Commissioner Larson noted they might run into a problem that if they had windows there, they might have to be protected and if they had extra openings, they might be limited to the amount of openings they had in that wall during the construction, He indicated there were a lot of things playing in there. Commissioner Zimmerman stated looking at the diagram; the emergency exits would be on the outside walls that were facing away from Robertson Building. Chair Sand stated he agreed with Commissioner Larson in that they should really leave this up to the Building Official and Fire Marshal to determine what was the appropriate method, He did not believe it was their job to determine Code requirements, He noted right now they had a motion pending that would require approval subject to the conditions one through eleven as amended by Commissioner Ricke.

Commissioner Larson noted the Planning Commission has considered the effect of the proposed special use upon the health, safety, convenience, and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land, in particular, and the community as a whole and have found that the proposed special use would not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood and larger community as per the factors as listed in Section 8, D, 3, b ofthe Zoning Ordinance, .
