. . . Page 3 Planning Commission Minutes October 21, 1986 Commissioner Kropuenske asked what the water storage capacity would be for fire protection. and was told 200.000 gallons by Mr. Chmiel. Discussion was carried on regarding the possibility of a fire in the proposed facility, the probability that a pumper truck would not be able to keep up emptying the 10,000 gallon wash water holding tank whether or not the site would be able to retain the large quantity of water that may be needed to fight a fire. and what level of contamination. water running off the property would have. Mr. Peter that from fire and a Jones of NSP stated that he felt this was not a serious issue; a practical aspect these would be a very low probability for very low probability of contamination. 4. Building Elevation Mr. Chmiel stated that a variance is needed because the building height will exceed the City Ordinance's maximum allowance by 24 to 30 feet. He explained that a 53 ft. long segment of the processing plant (the flail mill area) will reach a height of approximately 64 ft. 8 inches and further. that the solid waste receiving building would reach a height of 52 ft. 8 inches. Commissioner Fuchs questioned what the type of construction material would be. Mr. Norm Schiefe1 stated that the building would be all steel with steel I-Beams. Commissioner Fuchs further questioned what the likelihood for fire would be. Mr. Norm Schiefe1 stated that there would be very little combustible material and low probability for fire. Mr. Chmiel stated that depending on which contractor received the bid award, at this time there is a 10 inch to 6 foot difference in the possible maximum height of the building and that a variance for a maximum of 70 ft. 8 inches would cover the issue. Further discussion was carried on regarding fire protection measures. Mr. Chmiel stated that the flail mill area would be protected by both he10n and sprinklers. Mr. Chmiel commented that the Baltimore facility has been approved by the State Fire Marshal and this facility will be build like it. 5. Drainage Plan Mr. Chmiel explained the flow and flow containment and how the contours will be designed to direct flows back to the retention pond. Mr. Terry Maurer stated that he had just recieved this evening. the calculations and information he had requested from NSP on the drainage and will not be able to make a judgement at this time whether or not the information is adequate. He also stated that just from paging through the documents. it appears his questions and concerns have been answered.
