ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Steve Ach <br /> <br />Bruce A. West <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />March 8, 1996 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Menards, Elk River Minnesota <br /> Proposed Site Plan <br /> <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 /> <br />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 /> <br />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 Menarcls 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 /> <br />o <br /> <br />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 /> <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 /> <br />s:\offsiteksachmen.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
