ty of / MEMORANDUM <br /> lkRi• <br /> ver TO: Steve Ach <br /> FROM: Bruce A.West <br /> Fire Chief <br /> DATE: March 8, 1996 <br /> SUBJECT: Menards, Elk River Minnesota <br /> Proposed Site Plan <br /> After review of the Menards proposed site plan, and with discussion during <br /> staff review, I have a few comments that I would like to make reference to at <br /> this time. <br /> 1. Designated no parking fire lane area. The entire westside of the <br /> Menards complex which entails the front elevation or entrance area <br /> shall be designated a "no parking fire lane" area. This includes the <br /> • entire west area north to south side. <br /> 2. Emergency access in the northwest corner of the complex near the <br /> yard barn display area. After review of the site layout plan, one of my <br /> concerns is access to the west side of the building in an emergency <br /> situation. A gate added to the northwest corner chainlink fence near <br /> the yard barn display, would allow emergency vehicles access to all <br /> area of the Menards complex. This gate could be locked at all times <br /> with accessibility only in an emergency situation for Police or Fire. We <br /> would like to see a gate with a fourteen foot clear opening in this area. <br /> 3. After review of the hydrant locations surrounding the complex, I have <br /> one change or concern referencing the hydrant in the southwest corner <br /> by the yard gate canopy. I would like to see the hydrant moved from <br /> the present proposed location along the parking stall area east into the <br /> landscape island and landscape planter area. The remaining hydrant <br /> locations have been reviewed and are acceptable at this time. <br /> If you have any questions referencing the issues raised, please feel free to <br /> give me a call at the Elk River Fire Department 441-4919. <br /> 110 s:\offsite\sachmen.doc <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
