M E M O R A N D U M DATE: February 8, 1989 TO: Rick Jopke - Planning Administrator FROM: Joel Hewitt - Fire Chief Jon Nisja - Fire Marshal SUBJECT: Proposed addition to Pavilion Place The Fire Department Chief Officers met on Saturday, February 4, 1989 to discuss the proposed expansion to Pavilion Place at County Road B2 and Snelling. The Fire Department had previously requested of the Planning commission that a Fire Department access point be provided at the northeast corner of the site adjacent to the Snelling Avenue frontage road. This request was not made a condition of the project by the Planning Commission due to extensive concerns by neighboring property owners over potential traffic problems in their residential area. The Fire Department is still concerned about access to the site. Our only access as currently proposed are two points along County Road B2. We feel that the Fire Department access point at the northeast corner of the project is warranted due to the increased traffic volume which is projected on County Road B2. We propose that a gate be installed in the fence along the north edge of the site for access purposes. In addition, it would be possible to provide curbing and some form of all-weather driving surface (such as paving blocks) which would allow fire apparatus access while prohibiting normal vehicular traffic to the site. The property owner would be responsible for maintaining the access. We feel that this would be an acceptable means of providing Fire Department access to the site while not allowing traffic from the neighborhood into and out of the site. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us.
