• Molin Concrete October 10, 2001 page 7 fixtures exist on the buildings. Molin added extra hoods to the lights on the buildings to provide shielding. 5. Consideration is given to aligning the site's western access point (from 4th Avenue) with 77th Street. This issue should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer. comment: The driveway onto 4th Ave. has been aligned with Thomas Ave. (77th St.). Molin has or will soon pave the driveway. 6. A minimum 150 -foot setback is maintained along the subject site's northern boundary. The buffer yard shall extend 40 feet north into this 150 -foot setback line. comment: A high berm begins approximately 100 feet from the northern property line. The berm is at least 40 feet wide at its base. This fulfills this condition. 7. The City shall prohibit on- street truck parking along Lilac Street. comment: The site was designed to provide stacking space on the site rather than on the street. There have been some trucks parked on Lilac St. but no complaints. Only when a truck is parked in the traffic lane is it a problem. The Molins stated that their dispatcher is located on Lilac across from the Molin plant. Drivers occasionally park on Lilac and walk into the dispatch office for instructions. 8. All additional site signage shall comply with applicable City sign requirements. comment: Sign permit reviews are designed to assure this. The Building Official has no outstanding signage issues. 9. All applicable MPCA requirements are satisfactorily met. comment: MPCA has rules regarding underground fuel tanks and stormwater management for water quality. Molin states that there are regular inspections of the tanks by an outside firm, which submits reports to MPCA. A new stormwater plan for the site is pending. The noise issue is the greatest concern. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) does have noise standards. This issue is discussed in greater detail below. 10. All proposed structures comply with applicable City building material requirements. comment: Building permit review has assured this. The Building Official has no outstanding building material issues.
