For this project, as articulated in the Purchase Agreement and Contract for Private 6 Development, the City will install a new sanitary and a looped water service under Highway 10 7 for Medtronic. While there had been some discussion about using Blaine’s water supply for fire 8 suppression purposes, a utility feasibility report will be conducted to determine and ascertain 9 whether the Blaine services will be utilized. Regardless of the provider, the water main will be 10 looped around the building with fire hydrants spaced per fire code regulations. The sanitary lines 11 will run parallel to the building on the west and east elevations. Storm sewers will be 12 constructed to serve the site with catch basins located along the fire access road and in the 13 surface parking lot. The storm sewer will drain into the two stormwater ponds on either side of 14 the building with all utilities installed underground. 15 16 He noted the lighting plan and photometric analysis was provided to staff on October 4, 2005. 17 The footcandle reading fall within acceptable ranges as outlined in Section 1103.09 of the Zoning 18 Code.
