Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 10,2017 Page 13 actually provide as much light and visibility, and would avoid negative flow for rentals with standard doors located in strategic spots that impacted traffic flow and food service and access between tables. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. McILwain clarified that the glass was double-paned and argon gas filled and exceeded state energy analyses. While deferring to the architect, Councilmember McGehee opined that her expe- rience had proven that triple-paned glass was significantly quieter and didn't re- sult in a significant cost difference. Councilmember McGehee suggested the less expensive glass could be used in the small clerestory windows as they were less likely strike targets for birds than the longer panels of glass based on reflection and length of overhangs. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. McILwain advised that the roof overhangs were between 8' to 10' over the patio, but the remainder were between 3' and 4' for gutters around the perimeter. Mr. MclLwain noted that the over- hangs would direct stormwater to catch basins and subsequently captured at a stormwater retention basin as part of the overall stormwater management plan al- ready submitted to the watershed district. Mr. MclLwain clarified that city staff had spent considerable time with their firm's civil engineer and the watershed dis- trict to contain as much runoff as possible kept on-site, but due to grades with the existing parking lot only being milled and overlaid but not reconstructed, some runoff would continue. Speaking to efficiencies, Councilmember McGehee noted that LEED certification may be desireable to promote City sustainability efforts. Mr. MclLwain reviewed the administrative nature of LEED certification, advising that for his firm's cli- ents, they used an amended LEED checklist as a guideline, including this project and addressing the City of Roseville's interest in such sustainable criteria. Given the additional cost involved, Mr. MclLwain noted that many use the LEED check- list without going through the actual checklist itself, and opined that this proposed building design would fare well with those criteria as well. Councilmember McGehee noted the considerable attention received and resident education from the Ramsey County Library— Roseville branch. At the request of Councilmem- ber McGehee, Mr. MclLwain clarified that LEED fees were based on the size and type of project, fees paid and additional design fees required due to documenta- tion and submission of criteria. Having taken a number of buildings through the LEED process, Mr. MclLwain noted certification was not an insignificant cost. On page 2 of the RCA, Councilmember Laliberte noted the reference to costs for temporary operating quarters during construction at an estimated $18,000 to $30,000 and sought clarification. Mr. Brokke advised that this was en evolving number at this time and only an estimate by staff to address safety, security and communication issues during the interim, but still requiring more information gathering. Mr. Brokke advised that the temporary quarters were for golf course operations (e.g. check-ins) from September through November of 2017 and as
