c 41 M% celemeeek 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: April 21, 1995 RE: Controlled Burn Request at St. Jude Medical MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scaize Jim LaValle Steve Moreton Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson Attached is a copy of a letter received from Prairie Restorations, Inc. regarding their request to do a controlled burn of the prairie grass plantings at the St. Jude Medical Woodland facility located on County Road B. As you know, City ordinance restricts open burning. Granting an exemption to allow this activity to take place appears to be the best course of action. In discussing this matter with the Fire Chief, we would recommend a one -time exemption from our ordinance which regulates open burning subject to the following conditions: * Receipt of a copy of the contract between St. Jude Medical and Prairie Restorations, Inc. for the controlled burn. Receipt of a certificate of insurance from Prairie Restorations, Inc. with appropriate limits of liability. 24 hours advanced notice to the City, Fire Department and the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department prior to the burn in addition to a one hour verbal follow -up notice to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Dispatcher prior to the commencement of burning activities. * Burning is to occur between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. so as to minimize impact on traffic in the area. * Wind speed at the time of burning cannot exceed 10 m.p.h. and wind direction must be from the north, northeast or east. * At least four employees of Prairie Restorations, Inc. must be actively participating in controlling the burn Page 100
