NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. TO: David Licht FROM: James Vick DATE: 1 August 1983 RE: Round Lake Estates FILE #: 758.09 - 83.09 In a meeting with the fire marshall and assistant fire chief of Little Canada, the following items were discussed regarding the proposed Round Lake Estates. Of initial concern was the building height of the apartments. The critical dimension to the fire fighters is the elevation to the bottom roof line. This is only 30 feet on the proposed building and within the capabilities of the fire department. The gable roof adds 14 feet of elevation; however, due to the building's construction, this does not pose any problems. The other concerns of the fire officials are in reference to the circulation on the site. The following three changes have been requested to suit their needs: JV /jto • The second and fourth driveways north of County Road C, which service the quads, are to designate an area on the east edge for a fire lane. This will provide access to the back side of the apartments. To accommodate this lane, the two parking stalls which exist in both driveways will need to be relocated. • The emergency access should not be chained off, but rather a continuous road. This will ensure that the road will be maintained year- round. To accommodate a fire truck, this road should be 24 feet wide and located north of the apart- ment parking area with direct linkage to the easternmost townhouse lot. • The driveway of the westernmost townhouse should have a wider access onto Spruce Street. Again, this will allow proper space for maneuvering a fire truck. P�i� �'r�Ea �� ,..� 1 E� AUG 4 1983 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925 -9420
