C. 96 -15 -S, EAM, 4th Avenue, Site Plan Review Ms. Mary LaForest stated that Emergency Apparatus Maintenance (EAM) is seeking to build a 5,250 square foot building with a potential for 5,600 square foot future expansion on a one- acre triangular parcel in Apollo Business Park on 4th Avenue adjacent to the Klosner -Goetz building. EAM started in 1987, and now serves 300 fire departments in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Ms. Wyland noted a couple of minor changes requested by the applicant: 1) to move the entrance further south to provide easier access for the emergency vehicles; 2) that the rear exterior wall be of plain block wall rather than the rock face on the other sides of the building. Staff sees no problem with either of these requests. A revised site plan will be prepared for the Council. Approval is recommended with the conditions listed in the staff report. Mr. Dave Schreier, EAM Owner, stated that the reason for moving the driveway entrances is to accommodate 35 -foot long fire trucks. Landscaping will be moved and placed wherever required by the City. Ms. Wyland noted that there is a minimum amount of traffic on 4th Avenue, and access would be possible at any point on that alignment. City Engineer Ahrens stated that he sees no problems with moving the driveway. Mr. Dunn asked if vehicles will be stored on -site.
