Mounds View City Council October 10, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 7 • existing pond expanded to accommodate the run off on site. The Rice Creek Watershed District will review the full stormwater management permit at their upcoming meeting on October 26, 2005. He indicated the golf course site is presently served by the City of Blaine for water and sanitary services. For this project, as articulated in the Purchase Agreement and Contract for Private Development, the City will install a new sanitary and a looped water service under Highway 10 for Medtronic. While there had been some discussion about using Blaine's water supply for fire suppression purposes, a utility feasibility report will be conducted to determine and ascertain whether the Blaine services will be utilized. Regardless of the provider, the water main will be looped around the building with fire hydrants spaced per fire code regulations. The sanitary lines will run parallel to the building on the west and east elevations. Storm sewers will be constructed to serve the site with catch basins located along the fire access road and in the surface parking lot. The storm sewer will drain into the two stormwater ponds on either side of the building with all utilities installed underground. He noted the lighting plan and photometric analysis was provided to staff on October 4, 2005. The footcandle reading fall within acceptable ranges as outlined in Section 1103.09 of the Zoning Code. The parking lots will be illuminated with a series of 250 watt and 400 watt metal halide lamps fully hooded and downcast to prevent any glare and light spillage. The parking lot light standards will have a pole height of 30 feet and the pedestrian light standards will be 14 feet tall • with decorative fixtures similar to those on Edgewood Drive adjacent to City Hall and the Community Center. He indicated the Resolution would include a requirement that all signage be code compliant, unless otherwise permitted or authorized by the PUD document. Given the extensive frontage along Highway 10, more than one ground sign may be constructed which would be consistent with Section 1008.10 of the Sign Code. The Sign Code does not place a maximum square footage on ground signs in a PUD, the code expressly defers to the PUD narrative document. Staff will work with Medtronic to allow for a gateway sign to be located on Medtronic property near 35W and Highway 10. He stated the Medtronic CRM preliminary plat, date stamped October 5, 2005, was prepared by E. G. Rud & Sons, Inc. The plat proposes six distinct lots in one block. Copies of the Medtronic CRM preliminary plat have been provided to the City's public works department, the City Attorney, and Ramsey County. Ramsey County will be forwarded copies to the plat to MnDOT. He noted Lot 1, phase 1 included the parking ramp; Lot 2, Phase 1 was 820,000 sq. ft.; Lot 3, Phase 2 was 380,000 sq. ft.; Lot 4, Phase 3 was 300,000 sq. ft.; Lot 5, included the Blaine lots, parking areas; and Outlot A included the wetlands, ponds, and mitigations areas. He indicated the Medtronic CRM plat has been updated to show proposed easements associated with the Medtronic CRM subdivision, to which staff proposes minor changes as follows: 1. The easement over the Met council sanitary sewer interceptor may not be • vacated. 2. All of Outlot A shall be protected by public drainage and utility easement.
